Feature:
3-position 75,150hz low cut, -10,-20db pad, foam windscreen, spider mount, metal case- nice kit.
Value:
Right now even if I could afford a U87, I'd skip it get 3 more C1's and a couple of T3's, the tube mic from S.P., all for less than the U87 purchase price.
Desirability:
Huge, heavy, beautiful mic, custom build feel.
Sound:
Perfect, vibrant reproduction of vocals- I a/b'd the C1 with my other favorite mics, small and large condensers, and recorded with it for months now, and it beats all the others- sibilants sound sweet and dense- this is the thing about this mic that is truly amazing. I've used akg 414's and Neumann U87's, U47's, and several vintage tube mics, and I don't remember being this impressed by any of them- the sibilant sounds were always bothersome to me, hard to regulate. Not with the C1- even without a pop filter. Even careless proximity not a problem, always sweet-sounding. Whoever made this mic has created a truly incredible vocal mic. Acoustic guitar still served better by akg c1000s for me, but maybe I haven't found the right mic placement for the C1 yet.
Ease of Use:
Still needs a slight high boost and low cut, not much though- less than other mics. I use it with studio projects VTB-1 (great preamp!)

Feature:
Has the low cut filter switch and a -10 DB selector.
I use these features all the time, and I would never buy a studio mic without them. Comes with a nice case, and de-esser/spit gaurd (big black foamy thing.) Stabilizer/ Shock Mount works just fine.
Again, for the price, these things are just icing!
Quality:
I move mine around a lot, and I really don't like to do that with condenser style mics, but it seems to be built very well.
Value:
Will not find a better value on a high qaulity, studio ready, Microphone.
Desirability:
Sharp looking mic. I think the stabilizer/ Shock Mount apparatus looks pretty cool. :)
Sound:
Becasue i have not used too many studio mics, I gave this one a 9, but I think it makes my vocals sound like a 10! It takes a while to get use to a mic of this quality as it pics up every flaw in your voice (yes it's that accurate,) but once you understand it's capabilities, you are well on your way to a very clean, rich, vocal presense. I use mine with the M-audio Delta Pre-Amp (Great Pre-Amp)an Antares AVP-1, and a Digitech Vx400. I have been singing for many years, but could never afford a high end mic; thank goodness technology today makes it easy to use pro quality gear on a shoe-string budget. This mic has helped me enhance my overall tone, and style; that is more than anyone can ask for a 200 dollar mic.
GET ONE TODAY!
Support:
Have not ever had to deal with them yet, so max I can give is a 9 on this.
Overall:
I would recomend this product to newbies, and to pros. You can make this mic sound like a 1500 mic if you know what you are doing, but straight out of the box this thing sounds like it should cost 3 times as much as it does! Do a search on the web for: "Studio Projects C1 Review" and see what you find out. :)
