Cool AEA N22 Active Ribbon Microphone

I've had this AEA N22 Active Ribbon Microphone for a few months and used it several times in my home studio. I purchased it new from Vintage King. Asking $850 plus PayPal fees and shipping.

The AEA N-22 really is a gem of a microphone and very easy to place.Here is a bit more about it:

The AEA N22 microphone was designed with the singer-songwriter musician in mind. This US-made microphone was built to bridge the gap between vintage and modern, ribbon and condenser, studio and live. It offers a reduced proximity effect to allow extreme up-close miking without boominess with a highly protected ribbon to allow close-up miking without pop-filters, wind protection live sound use, and a phantom-powered design for optimal performance with a wide range of preamps. The 1.8-micron, 60mm (~2.3'') ribbon is the same as found in the R84 and R92, the new Nuvo N8, and other AEA ribbons, but in the N22 it is part of a newly designed motor. The N22 can be positioned inches away from an instrument and retain a balanced sound with an extended top end while avoiding the room tone that can cause problems in smaller spaces or iso booths. This is what makes the N22 special.
-Increased upper-mid presence lets you cut through a busy mix without the need for EQ
-Reduced proximity effect allows for up-close miking without boominess
-Maximum SPL of 141dB lets you use it on very loud sources
-Ribbon is heavily protected, letting you close-mic without pop-filters or wind protection
-Phantom-powered for optimal performance with a wide range of preamps
-Uses the same 2.35" Big Ribbon that AEA microphones have built their reputation on
-Robust, easy-to-use design works with 3rd-party clamp mounts
-Custom German-made transformer with excellent bandwidth, consistency, and distortion characteristics
-Small form factor is easy to use with lightweight stands and in tight-miking situations
-Exemplary figure-8 polar pattern
-100% handcrafted in Pasadena, CA
-Requires +48V phantom power
