Hi Marie,

Do a search for the word Edirol, and it will come up.  When you land on the
page, do a Screen Reader find on that page and look for Mic.  I found it
didn't come up by product number, but it did when I searched for Edirol.

All the best

Hi Steve, I've looked for the mike on the site you mentioned to find out its
price and my search produced no matches. Could you give more info please?
Thank you.

Marie
