"M Audio Luna"

Feature:
There are no features on the Luna, no bass-roll off etc. But this can not be expected at that price

Quality:
The Luna, including its shockmount, seems to be well made indeed, also it comes in a nice case

Value:
The Luna is good value for money if you look for a mic to record acoustic guitar.

Desirability:
Here zzound asks "How would you rate the "sex appeal" of this product?" What a stupid question, we are talking about a MICROPHONE here

Sound:
Upon unpacking the M Audio Luna mic you realize that this mic is heavy and seems to be of good quality. I have recorded the first time with this mic last night, here are my impressions in regards to sound. The main thing to mention is that this mic does not add any high end sparkle to recorded vocals. If you want a mic that adds some low end to your vocal recording, then the Luna is the right mic for you. I would not recommend the Luna if its your one and only mic in the studio but it will make a good addition to your mic collection. I have only recorded vocals with the Luna, not guitar, but can imagine that the Luna is very good for recording acoustic guitar due to the fact that it somewhat surpresses the high end and so reduces the often unwanted "clang" you get when recording acoustic guitar

Ease of Use:
Ease of use, well - as any mic

Support:
Did not need them, and hope I never will.
