"Two for the price of one! Go for it!"

Feature:
Very versatile. Comes with a little cap to change the pick up pattern of the microphone to a hypercardoid. In addition, if you have a mixer with no phantom power, this would be a good microphone, because a 9 volt compartment within the capsule of the microphone is available as an alternate to phantom power. And the battery lasts up to 220 hrs!

Value:
For its price, it is very affordable. I rate this with the shure beta 81 microphone. The price for one beta 81, you can get two akg c1000s

Desirability:
planning to get more!

Sound:
I like it. Very good sound, especially if you are using them as overheads for drums, or for the hi-hats. In addition, they are very versatile with using for a choir and piano. I have used them in all applications for worship in my church. They are also a more fuller sounding microphone for our female singers because they lack the low mid range in their voices.

Ease of Use:
Do not use too many of these in a live application. Though it sounds great, do remember that condenser microphones can reduce the amount of headroom on your board.

Support:
No problems with this mic. I can use two more

"They did the job!"

Feature:
The accessory that makes it hypercardoid is essential, as is the wind screen for outside performances.

Quality:
super all the way around

Value:
The two pack is an excellent deal.

Desirability:
Practical addition. I don't care all that much about how something looks, with the exception of my wireless mike, which looks and sounds good. My syandard for mikes is do they sound good in the application? These do

Sound:
I've used these mikes for live sound for my jazz band on a guitar and a soprano sax, after adding the hypercardoid attachemnt. These were very expressive for each instrument, and sounded great.

Support:
I haven't dealt with support, but AKG has a very helpful web site.

Overall:
These are very versatile. I can use them on the toms and cymbals as well if I need to.
