Rare \"Matched\" Sequential Pair: M-Audio Sputnik Large Diaphragm Condenser Mics For Sale

Rare Sequential Pair:

Offering an exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire two M-Audio Sputnik large-diaphragm tube condenser microphones with sequential serial numbers – manufactured consecutively and calibrated together at the factory.

Why This Pair Is Special:

While M-Audio calibrated all Sputniks to within 0.5dB across the frequency spectrum, finding a sequentially-numbered pair today is virtually impossible. These microphones were built side-by-side on the same day and have been maintained together throughout their life with carefully staggered, equal usage (under 50 hours each). The specification for tube life is rated at 10,000 hours.This ensures they remain as closely matched as any Sputnik pair can be – far superior to purchasing two units from different sources with different tube wear and manufacturing runs.

Sound Character:

The Sputnik has earned recognition for delivering vintage warmth and presence often compared to microphones costing many times more. Described by engineers as having “The low end of a Neumann U47 and the high end of an AKG C12,” these microphones excel on vocals and music sources where rich, vintage character is Both microphones are cosmetically flawless. Stored in a temperature-controlled home studio environment, smoke-free, and always kept together. Both units include original boxes, lockable hard cases with keys, shock mounts, power supplies, cables, and all original accessories. These have been babied since my original purchase. I am the original for vocals, acoustic instruments, room ambience, and any application where vintage tube warmth enhances the source. Also excellent for stereo recording techniques given their matched calibration.

Don’t Miss This Opportunity:

Sequential pairs of this quality simply don’t come to market anymore. Once sold, you won’t find another set of Sputniks with consecutive serial numbers anywhere in the world, matched low-hour usage, and pristine condition.

If you’ve been searching for a truly matched vintage-style tube microphone pair at a fraction of the cost of a U47 or C12, please don’t hesitate – make an offer or use Buy It Now while this opportunity is still available.
