Useful & competent mic.

This is a very versatile large diaphragm condenser mic, with figure of 8, cardiod, & hypercardiod settings. Solid & robust construction. I've mainly used it in fig. of 8 with another mic using the 'mid-side' technique. It gives a very neutral, well balanced sound, and is not one of those mics that seem to add their own colour or tone to recordings.

Home studio - First Mic!

This is my first microphone and I bought it to get some recordings with guitar/vocals and some little drums or a glockenspiel.

I'm more an recording-amateur, but as far as I can evaluate this microphone does a pretty good job.

I bought it in a bundle, so it came with a popkiller, a stand and a microphone suspension, which is essential.

I don't got problems with the sound of any voices or common instruments.

What I like are those multiple patterns, which allows you to cover different sounds/people around the mic.

Great Microphone for beginners like me with a limited budget.

Great mic

This is a great budget mic. It's no U87 but it doesn't cost as much either. Everything one can ever need is here - multiple patterns, pad, high pass and a great mic holder. Took me a little while to fit it in, but once it's in, it's not going out. Noise floor is way lower than my living conditions, so if anything, this mic is even too good for the circumstances it's used in. Overall i would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a budget large-diaphragm condenser.
