It's a solid shotgun mic, I've used it usually for secondary sound while using a lav. Comes with the special xlr attachment and has a battery attachment for phantom power.
I'd prefer a local nyc pic-up in my office in Tribeca.

No pic? But if it's undamaged, I've got zillion of picture of this venerable Mic if you need them. I own it AND an MKH-416P48 and in fact, use them for their variations in pick up pattern and bias's. The ME-66 is now my "Nice American Guy Next Door" VO mic , versus the MKH-416, which is now my "Dastardly Handsome American Masher" VO mic.
