Nice great sounding mic!

Very nice microphone. Works very good live, not prone to feedback at all. Nice beater click and bass thump. Has a little more of a vintage feel to the sound compared to the D112 (totally different mic but something that everyone can relate to). Not tried it on bass guitar yet but I can imagine it would do a good job in front of a loud cab. High SPL handling (155 dB with the pad switched in)! Easy to adjust thanks to the joint that you release and secure with the hand screws on the sides! More than that it looks very nice!

Comes with a nice hard case. Don't bring this mic to the small stage club gig as I don't think it would like having a beer spilled all over it.

Nice mic that I wouldn't hesitate trying in the studio!
