For Sale AKG C535 EB Handheld Condenser Stage Microphone. Although  I got it second hand, it is in excellent shape. I only used it at home in a smoke free environment. It's a great mic but I just got an Audio Technica AE5400 so it doesn't get much use.  Includes mic, original plastic case, non original mic holder clip and original invoice. This mic has been discontinued since 2017 and rarely comes up on the market.  (Photos to follow)
Sorry CONUS only, MO or cashier check (but will accept a personal check from a senior or gold member)
$250 plus $10 for shipping.
Or make me an offer I can't refuse.

Here are some reviews if you are not familiar with this mic:

Gearank Recommendation
The AKG C535 EB appeared on our recommended list for Live Vocal Mics from March 2016 until August 2017 when it had to be removed due to no longer being available.

Overview
An interesting characteristic of the AKG C535 EB is that is has a mainly flat response over the mids and then a 2dB gain from 7kHz to 12kHz that helps your vocals cut through the mix.

It also has a 4 position switch for controlling the amount of bass roll-off you want.

This mic is particularly popular with male singers with a low register due to it's brightness on the high-end and the level of control it gives you on the low-end, but it is highly regarded by singers of all types.

The AKG C535 EB has been discontinued so this information will mainly appeal to those buying it second hand, but if you're looking for a new microphone then look at our guide to The Best Live Vocal Mics.
