990 : Good Home Studio Microphone

I bought this microphone as I wanted a large diaphragm microphone for my home studio and I have seen good reviews on this one.

Sound wise this microphone performs very well - for the money. I stress, I think there is not a better microphone of this type on the market for the money; although there are better microphones you just have to pay a whole lot more.

I have used for vocals, percussion and acoustic guitar recording and all seem true recordings.

The small locking nut that holds the housing at an angle has a tendency to slip however if you are using as a static vocal microphone then this should not be too much of a problem.

Overall I quite like this microphone for sound and quality, so for budget home studio this is a good buy, for professional studios you may want to spend a bit more.
