It is a good find of a now obsolete model AKG condenser microphone. I am very pleased with it. It is what it is supposed to be, and the C535 EBs were not light weight; they were not intended to be, and in no way is it's weight a disadvantage. The brass construction of the cylindrical shaft made for more ergonomic handheld vocal use, which is what it was designed for. The Mic, box and stand adaptor are all great condition and doubtless new. As such it would have been nice also to have the specification and user manual sheet with it, but perhaps the additional inclusion in the sale of an AKG belt clip-on battery powered phantom supply unit makes up somewhat for the lack of the user spec sheet.
