Quality:
Well built, sturdy and it came with a nice road case

Value:
You can't get more mic for the money in terms a quality of reproduction.

Sound:
This mic is an audio mirror...if you don't like what you hear, you'll have to place the blame on something, or someone, else.

Overall:
I use this mic for commercial voiceover and married with my symetrix528e, it gives me a high end studio sound for a low end price. In fact, it paid for itself in one session.Very nice product.

Quality:
I have had it for years and it has been very reliable.

Desirability:
I wish I had another.

Sound:
Not much on features but frankly doesn't need them. The roll off switch is a nice touch but I rarely use it. I love it with a decent pre on acoustic guitar. But it sounds great on most vocals. If you can only have two mics in your home studio this and an SM 57 and you are golden. I have used it for live vocals and as an ambient mic for a dramatic reading. You name it. I am about to try it on a guitar cab and see if it can handle the SPLs. It sucked on a kick (couldn’t handle the SPLs) but is fine on hats.

Ease of Use:
As with any mic, how you address the source is importand but not nearly as important and most mics

Support:
Good news... no experience with support cause it don't break

I've found this to be a very clean quiet mic with a nice round sound. I've been using it mainly on male vocals, and even after tons of overdubbing the sound stayed transparent. They've done a great job with the shockmount and the internal windscreen--I haven't needed to use a pop filter. The mic also sounds wonderful on acoustic guitar. I haven't been using a pre-amp, just an 18-volt phantom power straight into a Roland VS-880, though I believe a pre-amp would further enhance this mic's performance. It's definately built well and seems like it would survive on stage. My only complaint is that it didn't come with a case, just a cardboard box with foam inserts. A mic this nice should have decent protection.
P.S. My dad use to record and engineer in some nice studios, and to his ears this mic sounds just like the AKG C414.

Feature:
It has good features, but it would be nice if it came with a shockmount.

Quality:
This mic seems very sturdy. Rough and rugged. I would trust it to use for live shows on the road.

Desirability:
I am nuetral about the look. I usually buy products for the features/reviews from other users. This mic looks ok, but very different from other mics I have seen.

Sound:
This mic sounds OK, but it does not sound very warm at all. I have used it to record vocals and horns mainly, and I have been fairly satisfied with the results, but I will be buying something else that sounds a little warmer.

Support:
Never called for support. Didn't need it

Overall:
Overall, I would give this mic somewhere between a six and a seven. The features are good, but I will definately be purchasing a different mic to use, especially for vocals. This mic is too harsh and brittle sounding. I am not an expert on mics, so I will give them the benifit of the doubt that I may have had the positioning/settings incorrectly. I would not buy this mic if it got lost or stolen.

Feature:
Bass roll-off switch is a usefull feature.

Quality:
I used it at live shows, and it took a beating (not from me, I saw two amateur sound guys drop the thing because they didn't know how to use the shock absorber...boy did I rip them a new one).

Value:
If you want a condenser that does everything, this is the mic. It records everything fairly well, but in my experience (I am NOT a professional, so take this with a grain of salt) the only drawback is that it doesn't have one specific thing that it records exceptionaly well.

Sound:
For a $300 microphone, it sounds good. Great for spoken word and back up vocals, but definately a bit too dark for lead vocals unless you are recording tracks for hip-hop. It records aocoustic guitars and percussion well. Also works great on hi-hats. Out of curiosity, I used it on a snare once, and it produced a pretty good "pop" sound.

Overall:
Try it with everything. If you are on a budget and need a "wonder mic", this works well. With EQ, lead vocals can sound good. I have no regrets about owning this product.

Feature:
I like to shock mount a component, and a built in sunscreen which seems to be a real plus for microphone of this caliber no!

Quality:
From what I understand the quality is quite nice and just a little below the C 4000 and I'm looking forward to using it I hope the works fine for me in my studio!

Value:
Yes I do believe it is.

Desirability:
I think it's a very hot looking microphone that the shock mount, and its futuristic design!

Sound:
A move that seems to have all the characteristics that I need a sound from vocalization studio microphone, and studio professional attitude. I think for the novice or even the summer professional vocalists that is a very substantial microphone, and I believe that it will give you many hours of pleasure and hopefully good sounds and according to recommend proud of!

Ease of Use:
I think I still have to use it to really find out how good sports were free but I think it will show positive output!.

Support:
Not yet when I heard the support is pretty good will say?

Overall:
I hope that a workout me for a long period of time! I don't know if that's any getting stolen, no fight to get stolen I would hope I would want to get the same product again.

We use a pair on a choir that ranges from 10 to 40 people and it is GREAT.

We use it any other time we have some special instrument as we know we can trust it to do a GREAT job.

This mic is great for the price, I only use it for vocals, the mic is so clean and accurate, you can actually hear how bad you probably sound..

Feature:
works great for live using lin -10 dB setting into teh Korg

Quality:
Super well made..in Austria and the shock mount is made in Austria

Sound:
I use 2 for a live recording, teh results on a KORG MR1000 in 24 bit 48 kHZ rival many results by real pros...

Ease of Use:
Great included shock mount....and not made in CHINA but Austria both the mic and shock mount, so it's super well made, no corners cut...quality products still exist at mortal prices...AKG C3000B prove it

I owned this mike for about 2 years, and I finally sold it. Like the other reviews mention, it has a clean detailed sound. On the other hand, if you do rock music with loud vocals, it picks up some noise under high db's.
