"BAM!"
Feature:
the -15db roll of switch is great for when using it as an overhead.
Quality:
I think its made of plastic, but that makes it really light. It doesnt seem like it could take a beating like a 57 or anything, but seems like it can stand up for some pretty rough usage.
Value:
pretty good price for the quality, if your looking for a pretty inexpensive acoustic mic, overhead, or vocal mic, this one is perfect.
Desirability:
there are some other mics that seem sexier i would say, but still cant complain about this one.
Sound:
As an overhead mic, it sounds really good. It really brings out the high end in some pretty good cymbols. On acoustic it shines. Sounds beautiful and clear.
Support:
havent dealt with them, but im shure it has good support. (get it, its a play on words, wakka wakka)
