Just so a bunch of folks don't think they're getting ripped off, I think you'll have a hard time finding a store that will actually sell you an XL1 for $3,125. I'd say that $3,700-$4,000 is the typical range. I've seen the occational reputable dealer at $3,500... but never lower than that.(posted 9211 days ago)If you're going to do any serious mic work, remember to also budget in the extra $100 or so for the MA100 XLR adapter (or convince them to throw it in).
