Description: Up for sale, a Blue Kiwi microphone in need of repair. This microphone is in excellent physical condition and appears well cared for. This was seen working (and it worked for a moment for me) but I simply can't get this guy to output sound now. I removed the capsule covers to ensure it had not jumped off of its rubber bushings (no, it was fine). Capsules appear fine cosmetically. I did observe that one wire was loose that screws to the capsule housing and I tightened it. No improvement. While fiddling with this, I did manage to rotate the microphone into a position it seemed happy with, tapping on the body would produce a signal and it was reproducing vocals. After this occurrence I have been unable to repeat this. The capsule seems unresponsive in its current state and I'm getting nothing now. You can get a VU needle to deflect on occasion when scrolling through the patterns with this hooked to a mic preamp. It may be a loose wire but it's certainly not obvious to me. I have no clue where to go from here. I did not see anything that looked weird when I had some of the covers off but clearly this is not ready for prime time. If you are a mic guy (or girl) and have parts this might be an easy fix. Alternatively, maybe not. Comes as pictured. The original case looks decent with some small marks on it. US bidders/buyers only please. This will ship tracked and insured.
