For those looking for this mic...
B&H currently has the stainless steel version on holiday sale for $299.00. If you happen to have a PayBoo card, your total cost will be $299.00 (no tax). If you don't want to use B&H, for whatever reason, you could have another retailer pricematch it (Guitar Center, Musician's Friend, Sweetwater, etc.).
The stainless steel version has been going on/off sale for $399.xx for some weeks/months now. It debuted at $699.xx. The black version seems to be stuck at the regular $749.xx price that it debuted at. Not sure why there has been this premium for the black one.
These come with Triad-Orbit M2-R mount. 2-year standard warranty. The Earthworks company itself seems pretty responsive to any issues. For example, recently it was reported that hot swapping while on phantom power when connected to a RodeCaster Pro 2, could potentially cause certain affected production batches with serial numbers ending in a certain letter code to stop functioning . For those who have a unit from one of the affected batches, Earthworks had an announcement that they would be automatically converting the 2-year standard warranties of those units to their premium 10-year warranty. In the event that you get one of the affected units and it causes the mic to stop functioning, it will qualify for a warranty replacement. If you don't encounter the issue, then just keep using it and have some peace of mind of knowing you have a conversion to a premium 10-year warranty. The issue is apparently due to some batches having a bad part that results in the failure under these conditions. I would think that, by now, any new stock would not be part of the affected batch runs, but you can always check your serial number when you get it.
