What is Certified Open Box Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call "Certified Open Box" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

Certified Open Box (also known as a demo) means we’ve had it out of the box for our YouTube channel, displayed at events, tested in our studio, or maybe it was in a customer’s hands for a few days and isn’t ‘factory fresh’ as a result. Every Certified Open Box item we sell has Sweetwater’s 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty and has been tested and verified up to ‘new’ specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it’s in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Certified Open Box item at Sweetwater, you get:

2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!

For the price, you can't go wrong with this microphone! It worked exactly as expected with excellent sound quality. I would definitely purchase again.

Works and adjusts well. Happy I purchased it

I needed a hands free, stand free, feedback resistant mic for my one man band setup. I was using a Shure beta 58A and wanted something of similar quality in the same price range. The Audio —Technica pro 8HEx exceeded my expectations. It is clear sounding, lightweight, comfortable and feedback resistant. I also am able to easily use it with my XVive wireless system without the transmitter getting in my way because it can connect to the attached cable instead of being at the base of the mic.
I'm very happy with this purchase and would highly recommend this product!

I got this one for my drummer to use for some vocal parts. I don't need the wireless feature since he isn't moving around much, and I appreciate the small pickup pattern on this mic to help isolate bleed-over.

Once I received it, I realized the headset padding is designed so you can wear this multiple ways. It doesn't have to sit in a specific orientation like other units I've used in the past. This is important if you use over-the-ear IEMs. Of course, it gets a bit of drum bleed, but it's not overly bad, and the flexible boom arm makes it easy to position the mic close to the mouth, making the bleed a non-issue when picking up the vocal.

The only additional thing that would be nice to have is an on/off switch to mute it when not in use, so it doesn't always need to be muted on the console. While this is fairly common for mics not to have a switch, I ended up adding an inline cord with a switch for this purpose. This is great for sending to different Front-of-House (FOH) mixers as it allows the user to control the mute instead of the FOH engineer having to worry about it.

Thanks to Matt and the crew at Sweetwater,I always get what I need with excellent service, shipping and product.
Never a bad experience with Sweetwater
