"Money Well Spent..."

Feature:
Has an on/off switch that can't be operated accidentally. I like that. Has the ability to narrow the patter (which is how I use it all the time). Too early to tell what is missing. I'm not primarily a vocalist so I'm not sure what else it should have. It seems to offer what I need.

Quality:
It appears to be very well made. I like the color. I get bored with the black microphones that are everywhere. So far it has held up well, though I'm not rough with it by any means. I treat it as though it cost me a couple of grand, etc.

Value:
If the bass was a little less overbearing I would have given it a 10. I'd say it was good value for money. It seems to do what I bought it to do. Sounds great. Have had only compliments on the sound of my guitars when using this microphone.

Desirability:
I like the color. I like the 'look' of it. But what's more important is that it does what it's supposed to do...and it does. So I'm happy.

Sound:
For my voice I'm very pleased with it, though I mostly use it now on my acoustic guitars, and rarely use it for my voice anymore. The only reason I didn't give a 10 is because I think the bass is usually excessive and I sometimes have to spend a few minutes EQing the bass to a reasonable level, etc.

Ease of Use:
I wish every piece of musical equipment was as easy to use as this microphone.

Support:
No idea. Never had to deal with AKG support.

Overall:
I'm always intereseted in seeing how I can improve the quality of my sound. So, since there are better quality microphones out there, I'm sure I'll be looking at one or two of them eventually. Otherwise I expect to be happy with this microphone for as long as I own it. Even if I find something better this one will still find use.

"Great stereo acoustic miking!"

Feature:
I like the case that it comes in. Other than that, its pretty straigh forward.

Quality:
Seems very solid. Its heavier than it looks. Would probably be fine if you dropped it a bunch of times.

Value:
For the price, the quality of acoustic sound is good. I don't have enough mics to compare it too though.

Desirability:
I dont think its ugly. Its a microphone. I does what its supposed to.

Sound:
The sound is great for Acoustic Guitar. I was very impressed with the detail. For my vocals however, it seems like there is too much high end. Not as warm as other mics I've used.

Ease of Use:
Doesn't get much easier. Just plug it in and turn it on.

Support:
Since I haven't needed any help yet, I'll give them the benefit of a doubt.

Overall:
For now, I use a pair to mic acoustic guitar and I'll be using that for the forseeable future. I'm already looking into a new vocal mic though because I wasn't satisfied with those results.
