"NICE SMOOTHE ,FAT, FLAT SOUND WITH THE OMNI CARTRIGE, FOR VOCAL RECORDINGS AND WORKS SUPER WITH ACOUSTIC GUITARS AND PIANO !!"

Sound: this mic is awesome on voice recording using omni cartridge. it's got a very flat response-it has absolutely no tinny upper end-it's real smoothe and excellent on acoustic instruments as well. with pad it's max spl's are 150 !! Feature: you also get a cardiod cartridge- for 90 bucks this small condenser mic sounds alot better on vocal recordings than a Rode NT1A and the At30305 by Audio Technica which by the way both sell for200 bucks and are strictly cardiod!! Value: there's no other mic that can compete dollar for dollar. The Wow Factor: I'm going to get at least 4 of these .
