Overall I enjoy this product a lot. I've said it a few times now but you cannot beat the price. MXL has a great line of condenser and tube microphones.
Sound
It sounds great. A great value for the low cost. I would recommend recording in an insulated reinforced sound room because it really seems to pick up everything. For miking a live guitar cab it turns out pretty good if you know what you are doing, placement and equalizing is key.
Features
There really isn't any special features you can't change the polar pattern.
Ease of Use
Easy setup, works well with my mixers on board preamp. You do need an equalizer by all means.
Quality
Very sturdy microphone. I have not dropped it yet but it is pretty solid. I imagine the grill would dent easy, but just take care of it. The casing is screwed on tight.
Value
For $100, you can't beat that. You can very well get professional results with it.
Manufacturer Support
I've personally never had to contact the company for any reason. The mic works great.
The Wow Factor
It's a great looking condenser microphone to add to the studio. If your on a budget then this is the perfect microphone to start out with. Silver finish is nice.
