Unbelievable!
I bought my u89i's brand new in early 2000 through a company in Connecticut. I was stupid and had no clue what I was doing. I could've saved a TON of money!
However, from what I understand, they're one of the last matched stereo pairs that Neumann made. On the other hand, they say the u89i's are so similar that there's no need to match them.
My mics did come in one of the big silver Neumann briefcases (which is pretty sweet, but too big to actually carry around), with shockmounts, windscreens, and cables.
I am looking for smaller shockmounts. Anybody know of any alternatives to the big Neumann baskets?
