Title: schoeps prices to rise again?
Post by: jerryfreak on January 02, 2009, 01:33:09 AM

it doesnt make sense to me with the recent trend in the dollar vs. euro since the last price increase, but this guy:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Single-Schoeps-MK2s-Omni-Capsule-4-condenser-Mic_W0QQitemZ200293901142

says they have mentioned another increase.
anybody know the deal?
i may need to get those mk22's sooner rather than later

Yeah I thought the dollar is getting a little stronger now...Schoeps price should actually go down not up. Unless in Europe retail price of Schoeps are going up.

this is schoeps we're talking about. and you are questioning if it went up or down?

if there is a change in price from schoeps, it will undoubtedly be UP

I just heard back from Redding and they said that as of today they have no scheduled price increases for any of their distributed brands.

So broke I cannot afford a dream of new mics, but I am glad to see Schoeps is not going any higher.
