It would have to be one with a xlr connector." So if anyone has any suggestions/recommendations/links/etc., please mail them off-list - thanks in advance!

Shure VP88 M/S Mic complete almost NEW! $599 Shure A88SM suspension for VP88 $99 New from B&H these two are $850. So I am selling these since I am upgrading. They have been great and I recorded lots of stuff on my website with them. I know there are varying opinions of this mic among the group, but despite it's possible shortcomings, it is a very handy way to get quick, accurate MS recordings. Everything is in great shape. The VP88 is brand new from February 2006. I sent mine in for service and they replaced it with a factory fresh one! The only thing I can think of that is less than perfect is that there are a few superficial scratches in the black paint on the back of the mic from a mount. I am including absolutely EVERYTHING you would receive if you bought a new VP88 including the manual, warranty card and even something you don't get, a brand new 6 volt battery to power it. So this is even MORE than you get with a brand new one! I also have a Rycote Windshield kit for this mic but I am considering using that for my new mics. If someone wants to buy that as well I am open to discussing it. Please email me with any questions.
