I have this M-Audio Condenser Mic which I've used for years...it always worked flawless and has a nice clear tone. The XLR 3 pin connector plastic piece broke and it's not worth getting it repaired at a store. I'm not confident in my ability to repair it, but I hate to toss it. If you have the ability to wire it to a new connector, or can use it for parts, please reach out! Let me know what its worth to you...I'm open to trades also. The mic is $100 new.
