"looking for that U87 sound at about 600.00??"

Feature:
I wish it came with a shockmount, but its actually very inexpensive. The 30-foot cable to connect to the power supply was a great idea.

Quality:
very rugged mic. It even comes in a vey rugged hard plastic carry case that holds everything!!

Value:
Its worth it.

Sound:
an amazing all around mic. From instruments to vocals, this mic right here is going deliver. Ive had this particular mic now over two years. Nothing negative to say about it. It gives me the right amount of warmth that I'd expect from much more expensive mics. Paired up with an LA-610, this mic gives that amazing big round sound that every hip-hop record is known for, but at the same time very translucent. Simply said.... Just amazing.

Ease of Use:
just plug it in, let it warm up for aout a half hour. Then your ready to start recording.

Support:
I haven't had to call support since I bought the mic.

Feature:
Power supply and mic. What else do you expect?

Quality:
Built like a tank

Value:
Worth every penny

Sound:
Well before I purchased it, I did some research on it. Initially I wanted the standard (neumann U87). Alot of my research revealed that the NTK actually outperformed the U87 in quite a few head to head tests. I narrowed it down to three: The U87, TLM49 and the Rode NTK. I tried them out head to head. Eventually I ended up buying the NTK because it is up to par with many neumann mics.
