"in a world of ripoffs, a breath of fresh air"

Sound: sounds better than mics that are considerably out of this price range Feature: runs on phantom power which is perfect for me Ease of Use: its a mic! 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 Manufacturer Support: not needed yet after about a year The Wow Factor: i prefer brunettes 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.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "The inexpensive condenser that roars."

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. Feature: Bare bones,but built like a tank. Ease of Use: Plug and play. Quality: Very sturdy construction and fit and finish are excellent. Value: Excellent value for the price. Manufacturer Support: I have not had to deal with support. The Wow Factor: A sturdy no nonsence mic. 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.

Style of Music: Folk,Country,Blues
