"Great mic, great sound, great value!"
Feature:
I agree with the previous poster. the baggie is kinda lame. i wouldve much preferred a case, but who doesn't have a mic case that holds multiple mics, anyway?
Quality:
awesome build quality. you could probably bludgeon a man to death with it, and being a shure, would probably still function afterward.
Value:
cheaper than the D112, VERY similar sound. it's engineered to pick up bass instruments, whereas the D112 was discovered to produce similar results accidentally.
Desirability:
if you're going to record some bass guitar, or bass drums, this is the mic to purchase. it won't set your wallet back too far, and you can use it as a weapon for those unruly sessions if your drummer is giving you lip. Priceless.
Sound:
What an awesome, punchy, crisp sound! This drum mic replaces the D112 that got into a "car accident" recently. and quite honestly, it sounds the same overall, just cheaper!
Ease of Use:
as with any drum mic, placement is key. that's the ONLY reason i give it an 8. manual is concise in getting you up and running, and once you get that sound, you just know.
Support:
Best support=not needing it. EVER. my last sm58 lasted over 10 years. at 100 bucks for the mic, it's a steal and a half.
Overall:
An awesome product. Totally worth the coin.
i like least that it's so large. but then again, it screams professionalism when i whip that sucker out at a session.

"...Swiss Army Mic..."
Feature:
Between all the kick mics in this price range, I don't see any HUGE difference. But, I personally went with the Beta52a because it's the only one with a supercardioid pickup pattern. So this mic rejects unwanted sound BETTER than all the others...
I do wish it had a nice case, the bag is kinda lame.
Quality:
Yeah it's good quality, it's made out of metal... No cheap plastic here...
Value:
Like I was saying, it's the only one in the price range to have a supercardioid pattern, it dosent "cut" any frequencies you may want when using it in other applications like for a bass cab or even a guitar cab. (as strange as that sounds) It's sturdy metal, and it's slightly cheaper than the other mics in it's price range.
Desirability:
Yeah I want it, I bought it diddn't I?
Sound:
Honestly, with a little EQ you can get any sound you are looking for out of this mic, and who in their right mond isnt using EQ?
By itself, the low end is great, Mids are all there, and highs are clean and clear.
I record mostly Metal and hard rock. So I'm looking for slight "woof", heavy punch, and loud attack. I can get that and more out of this mic.
Ease of Use:
How hard is it to use a kick mic?
Plug it in, & put it in the desired spot you want in your kick, or in the sound hole...
Support:
I couldnt tell you man, I haven't needed any.
Overall:
This mic is a swiss army knife of a mic, You could say its a "swiss army mic". It can be used for just about anything, and it sounds great. Just USE YOUR EQ PEOPLE!!!
