Hi,
i have copied a message i sent to an ebay user who posted a very useful guide on ebay, aimed toward spotting fake Shure microphones.
i havent had a response from the user so thought i'd try my luck here, see if anyone is experienced in spotting the fakies!
i have copied the message as i'm feeling too lazy too write it out again
hope you don't mind, thanks!
Hi there,
I just read your very helpful guide on spotting fake Shure mics
Could you very kindly have a look at the attached zip file containing pictures of my recently purchased Shure beta87a microphone?
I had no suspicions about the microphone as it sounds great to me (but that said i have no other Shure beta mics to compare it too) concerns occoured when, the other day i removed the XLR cable from the mic and the XLR pin attachment came out from the inside the mic itself. it had been left it connected for a couple of days straight prior to this however.
The seller seems legit with no suspicions: eBay My World - swingsounds
The mediafire link bellow contains the zip file with the pictures of the microphone in question.
beta87a.zip
would really appreciate your help here, thankyou!
