That’s a Didrik de Geer microphone. Crazy expensive and only about 35 made, IIRC. There are some old forum threads kicking around the internets. I remember there was a bit of controversy surrounding them at one point.

Howling at the neighbors. Hoping they have more mic cables.

The wingnuts on the shock mount are a classy touch.

Also, "Dedric Déjar, who is extremely rigid, has a workshop in the basement of an old mansion, and has been absorbed in the development of a microphone with no income for about three years, and pursued it abnormally."
