STC-3X Pack Silver : Love it

A very good sounding microphone at a super affordable price. I owned a 2X before, and this newer version is great for a lot of applications, especially since its figure-of-8 pattern allows one to do a blumlein array with 2 mics. I've used it a lot on vocals, acoustic guitar, drum overheads, Hammond organ's Leslie speaker and various room sounds and I've always been very happy with the results.

The only thing I would improve is the shockmount: the rubber bands stretch too much especially when using it horizontally (e.g. on drum OH) and therefore I needed to put some paper or cloth between the mic and the shockmount to keep it from touching the metal.

The mic itself is just fine though! Very solid too
