"GOT SHRILL?""

Feature:
not many that help the sound...

Quality:
i cracked two capsules already they are real delicate, and use a pop filter or else it will die quickly.

Value:
you get what you pay for dont expect a u87 or something close to it ive used a u87 and this is not in the same ballpark as people claim its a thin sound with no body to it..

Desirability:
the mic looks good thats about it.

Sound:
has a high end shrill thats anoying a tube preamp can tame this but its still aparent it has no midrange or bottom eq is needed to get the right sound...

Ease of Use:
simple plug it in and turn on the phantom power...

Support:
i can always call studioprojects and get someone on the phone real quick..good company.

Overall:
a good beginner mic once you use the real deal its hard to go back to these china made toy mics they are a dime a dozen and most of them come from the same factory the companies just slap a different name on the same mic, im sure pmi audio has never made a mic they just pick these parts from china factories put them together and call it new.

"Very sensitive to humidity, died within a month of use."

Feature:
Good accessories, shock mount, hard case, stand adapter

Sound:
Tremendous sound while it lasted

Support:
Don't really know yet, will try to get it fixed

Overall:
Like I say, it was nice while it lasted. I used it perhaps four times, then humidity damage. I know about humidity and condenser mics. I was very careful with it. It was working fine one night, came back the next morning and it had lost most of its signal. What was left was mostly a low rumbling. Classic symptom of humidity damage. The manual suggests trying to dry it out by holding it several inches under an incandescent bulb for a while. Pointless. Once its shot, its shot. I'd hoped it would last longer than a month.
