From the seller
Overview:
A beautiful Earthworks QTC-1 (Quiet Time-Coherent) omnidirectional condenser microphone stereo matched pair. Renowned for their ultra-fast transient response and a ruler-flat frequency range from 4Hz to 40kHz, these microphones capture acoustic instruments with unmatched realism, depth, and pinpoint accuracy.
Condition:
This pair is in true mint/like-new cosmetic and functional condition with absolutely zero scratches, blemishes, or dings on the microphone bodies. They have been exclusively used in a world-class, smoke-free concert hall environments in Canada for capturing classical piano albums. When not actively on a stand, they were immediately returned to their protective case with desiccant packets. They have never been subjected to high-SPL environments, touring wear, or rough studio handling.
