Sound
Not much on features but frankly doesn't need them. The roll off switch is a nice touch but I rarely use it. I love it with a decent pre on acoustic guitar. But it sounds great on most vocals. If you can only have two mics in your home studio this and an SM 57 and you are golden. I have used it for live vocals and as an ambient mic for a dramatic reading. You name it. I am about to try it on a guitar cab and see if it can handle the SPLs. It sucked on a kick (couldn’t handle the SPLs) but is fine on hats.
Ease of Use
As with any mic, how you address the source is importand but not nearly as important and most mics
Quality
I have had it for years and it has been very reliable.
Manufacturer Support
Good news... no experience with support cause it don't break
The Wow Factor
I wish I had another.
