"Just get it."
Feature:
No pad with this mic but so far none is needed.

Quality:
Hard to tell at this point. Just got it but so far it has been great.

Value:
This is where this mic truly shines. I have use Neumann, AKG and others and this has by far been the best buy for the money.

Desirability:
Definitely a classic design.

Sound:
Got it and recorded my first vocal session and was blown away at the responsiveness of this mic. I am a very discerning ear and feel that this is a great buy.

Ease of Use:
Plug and play is a time saver. Let it warm up and you will more than like this mic.

Support:
If it works no need for support. I am not in a position to rate this side yet.

Overall:
I hope to be experiencing this quality for a very long time.

"GREAT MIC.... TERRIBLE CABLE!"
Feature:
The switchable pickup patterns are GREAT! I love them! However, I gave this a 7 because my 6 pin cable didn't last very long (about 6 months) under NO abuse or movement, and fining a replacement has been UNSUCCESFUL!!!! If anyone out there knows of a replacement (6 pin) please email me (dw154515@reddies.hsu.edu)

Quality:
I give a 7 simply because of the 6 pin cable issue (see above) but the mic itself is in great shape.

Value:
You really cant beat the sound. I truly love it!

Desirability:
Its hot!

Sound:
Great warm sound.... nothing else to say! Its Great!

Ease of Use:
Its a tube mic... plug it up, turn it on, let it set for a little while, make rich warm sounds!

Support:
Tried emailing them twice about a replacement cable, but they have failed to return a response. (Its been around 3 months since I contacted them the first time)

Overall:
Great mic, but be sure to pick up an extra 6 pin cable if you can ever get your hands on one!!
