The most Expensive mic?

[mgiles7]

What is the most expensive mic you have ever seen?
Just Curious (and very bored at work)
And maybe I could sell my house and buy it!
But then my wife would rip my test.....Well we won't go there...

Elam251 is the most expensive mic I've ever seen/used. I think they're upwards of about 10-15,000 now...dont quote me on that, but it's silly how much they go for.

Lennon's U87 went for some big bucks...50K?

The most expensive production mic I can remember is the B&K tube mic they made a few years ago that they only made 100 of...what 6-8K or something?

$10- $15 Grand? Wow, that would pay off my car.....
I wonder if they are actually worth it? I guess if I didn't score a major contract or something, I wouldn't think so.

Check out the Brauner VM1 Klaus Heyne Edition at www.mercenary.com . I bought myself one for my 45th birthday.

Freakin B-day present! In my future right now, I don't see myself ever getting a b-day present over $8,000 dollars.

A Telefunken Elam 251 doesn't cost you anything!...
(as long as you can sell it for at least what you paid)
