From the seller
Vintage B&K 4006 P48 stereo pair with original calibration charts (1991), complete grids and cases — fully tested and ready for professional classical and acoustic recording use.
I purchased this B&K 4006 stereo pair a few years ago from a Japanese recording engineer who had kept them in storage and hardly used them. Since then they have been used only a handful of times in my private home studio for acoustic and classical recording projects, and have spent most of their time safely stored in their original wooden cases. I’m now simplifying my setup and letting this pair go to someone who can give them more regular use. They are in excellent working condition and come with their original accessories and individual calibration charts dated 18 Feb 1991.
International shipping via UPS (fully insured, professional packing). Actual shipping cost reduced due to compact size.
Feel free to message me if you need any additional info or specific measurements.Vintage professional microphones, sold as-is and as described. Please review all photos carefully to confirm cosmetic condition.
