As is Dave Pearlman's custom, each microphone is hand-numbered (this is number "398") This microphone is in high demand.  Because of the economic downturn, I'm forced to part with it, as well as some other gear. This microphone was purchased in the Summer of 2008 and used (I'm a voiceover artist) in 3 small sessions here from my smoke-free home studio.  Aside from those sessions, it has been residing in its case.          This Pearlman TM 1 Microphone includes custom built power supply, custom tube microphone cable with Neutrik and Mogami, a heavy duty shockmount and aluminum shipping case.
