Greetings: I've noticed an STS 250 mic that has been on eBay (at least the US site) for more than a week. In fact, I had written the seller (who I do NOT know ) with some info pertaining to the STS, and the seller has since added that info to the listing. Specifically, the paragraph that reads, "...acoustics.salford.ac.uk/studentarea/studios/st250_userguide.pdf for the user guide. I have the Harpex VST (fully licensed) and player as well as VVMic (the latter being useful for A- to B-format conversion when a hardware decoder isn't part of the mic). Svein provides great support for his product (Harpex dot net)... always very helpful... and has commented on some of my work regarding Ambisonics (cochlearconcepts dot com). Potential buyers may also want to know the the four B-channel outputs come from the PAIR of XLR connectors when in B mode (of course, the four channels aren't balanced outputs, but this is rarely a problem when recording the B-formatted outputs). The user manual clearly explains the pin-out needed for B-format output."
So in truth, I know nothing of the mic's condition or the seller's knowledge of the STS 250 being sold. But it does look like a very nice mic. If I manage to find an "affordable" Soundield or similar high-end Ambisonic mic, I'll be selling my TetraMic and matching preamps. In truth, the TetraMic is a great mic for the money. My research is entirely self-funded, so I understand what you mean when it comes to budgeting. Very good luck in your search for a Soundfield mic.
