In the packaging everything I expected except for the microphone. I was trying to connect a microphone to my MacBook Pro by following the "T" instructions. The indicator light came on, but the microphone did not appear in the sound settings as intended. I thought it might be a computer, so I tried a computer with Windows 7. Still nothing, not even installing a driver. I also tried a different port and cable, still nothing. Sent it back and bought the Blue Yeti directly from Blue and found that the mic listed here is slightly different than the one I bought from Blue. I'm not saying this is fake, I'm not an expert, but something is wrong here.
