"This might be the best buy in the music industry, seriously."

Sound: WARM? I don't think that's strong enough, I am sad that I haven't had to use it more, but while using a tube preamp art with this it sounds so perfect Feature: Strong, I mean to me the main feature is the sound... and that's why I'm scoring it a 9. I'm not rating this "for it's cost" I'm giving it a 9/10 against EVERYTHING on the entire market Quality: The quality was perfect, a sturdy case , a rock hard microphone, and it's wonderful. Value: 10 really isn't high enough Manufacturer Support: Never had to use it, so I'd say that speaks for itself The Wow Factor: It's nice, the way I have it setup with a nice popfilter and a few other things makes it even more desirable Overall: Of all the equipment I own and have purchased I'm most pleased with this. I can't stress what a difference a good microphone will make, and you won't be sorry when you hear yourself or anyone else on this mic. I've used it from someone who can sing opera to hiphop vocals and all were definitly sounding great.

Style of Music: Hiphop mostly, but some of everything

Thank you. Your vote has been counted. Could you briefly tell us why the review was or was not helpful?

This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful. "looking for that U87 sound at about 600.00??"

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. 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. Ease of Use: just plug it in, let it warm up for aout a half hour. Then your ready to start recording. Quality: very rugged mic. It even comes in a vey rugged hard plastic carry case that holds everything!! Value: Its worth it. Manufacturer Support: I haven't had to call support since I bought the mic.

Style of Music: Hip-Hop, R&B/Soul, Reggae
