10 out of 10
"in a world of ripoffs, a breath of fresh air"
Feature:
runs on phantom power which is perfect for me
Quality:
seems very sturdy although i havent tried to get my elephant to stand on it yet
Value:
there is no other comparison. genuine german capsule....assembled in china but any other one has a chinese capsule which are so inconsistant you take a big risk in buying one
Desirability:
i prefer brunettes
Sound:
sounds better than mics that are considerably out of this price range
Ease of Use:
its a mic!
Support:
not needed yet after about a year
Overall:
great mic, extra extra great price. i have a home studio and i will use this mic until it bio-degrades. in case you wonder i AM extremely picky about my sound and explore many genres with music. this mic has never let me down when i take the time to optimize the situation in which i use it. seriously if i wanted a true, relevant upgrade i would have to spend over 500 more to hear a difference.

"The inexpensive condenser that roars."
Feature:
Bare bones,but built like a tank.
Quality:
Very sturdy construction and fit and finish are excellent.
Value:
Excellent value for the price.
Desirability:
A sturdy no nonsence mic.
Sound:
I have only used this mic for vocals,and It produces a very smooth warm transparent sound.It Is far and away the best so called cheap Chinese condenser mic that I have auditioned,and I have auditioned several... possibly because of the fact that actual AKG diaphragms are used instead of Chinese ones.
Ease of Use:
Plug and play.
Support:
I have not had to deal with support.
Overall:
I believe that once the word gets out on these,AKG will corner the market on 100 buck large condensers.In my opinion they rival much more expensive mics.
