"Good Job, M-Audio for Producing Excellent Professional Condenser Mics."
Feature:
Ok. No low cut switch/-10db pad.Could be better.

Quality:
Strong, robust built with good material engineering for durability added. You would know this mic takes the beating from the extreme usage and loud singing. Good mic for vocals and guitars.

Value:
For below hundred bucks, you get close to RODE mic quality. What else matters.

Desirability:
Want it of cos.

Sound:
Good SPL level, dynamic range and transient sound reproduction.

Ease of Use:
Plug and play

Support:
Friendly and Good

Overall:
This mic though new but has established its brand name in comparison with big brands like neumann, rode and AKG. I will buy back the same one if this ever gets lost, stolen or spoilt(Trust its quality is lasting, no doubt). Good Job, M-Audio for providing professional quality condenser mics, at an unbeatable price.

"A workhorse that can do it all!"
Feature:
There are no pad switches or anything like that, it's a plug and go mic, which I like. While it would be nice to have different patterns to choose from so far I haven't found that I need them.

Quality:
This thing is a miniature tank! I can't believe how heavy duty it is and the screen is double mesh so it's not cheap looking. The whole mic is very nice.

Value:
This is a great mic for someone like myself who's venturing from a cheap Radio Shack mic to this big world of recording. I bought my used so I got an even better deal than buying it retail.

Desirability:
It looks very professional, it sounds very professional and it's only $99, what more could you ask for?

Sound:
I'm not a studio professional but this mic sounds wonderful to my ears! I bought it mostly for acoustic guitar but also planned on doing some amp micing and vocal work with it. I've found that it has done all of these with great results!

Overall:
If you're wondering whether or not to get this mic chances are that you need it. If you're a professional you're going to get something more expensive (the merits of doing so are questionable however) but if you're just getting started like myself into the world of digital recording this is the work horse for you.
