I would like to start out by answering an extremely common question that has yet to be answered by any buyers who received the item or Amazon themselves.
Yes, the champagne mic does indeed come with the carrying case, red velvet bag, swivel mount and shock mount.
Hey Amazon, how about getting some pictures posted of the accessories that come with the champagne version of the KSM32, I'm sure that "Shure" would appreciate it, as well as their customers. Maybe even writing it in the item details so that we know what we are buying? Would be great. More money for you, more assurance for us that when we click "buy", we aren't signing up for a return process.
I waited two months for an answer in regards to this, and just decided to go for it and see. Thankfully, I didn't have to go through the return process. You've got enough people employed, how about assigning them the job of assuring that customers know what they are purchasing instead of the "dish out the cash, wait and find out" approach. It comes off as extremely lazy.
5 stars for the mic, 1 star for the service. Second time this year I've run into poor service from Amazon.
