"Great Sound-Great Price!!!"

Quality:
Well built, sturdy and it came with a nice road case

Value:
You can't get more mic for the money in terms a quality of reproduction.

Sound:
This mic is an audio mirror...if you don't like what you hear, you'll have to place the blame on something, or someone, else.

Overall:
I use this mic for commercial voiceover and married with my symetrix528e, it gives me a high end studio sound for a low end price. In fact, it paid for itself in one session.Very nice product.

"Great all around condenser"

Quality:
I have had it for years and it has been very reliable.

Desirability:
I wish I had another.

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

Support:
Good news... no experience with support cause it don't break
