Sound
The sound from tis mis incredible! its very smooth without any processing. I use it mainly on hip-hop vocals and bought it to compliment my VS-2400 im about to purchase. Running it through a focusrite platinum comp/eq/preamp i was very surprised! It sounds more exspensive than it is, thats the truth!
