"HOLLA AT THIS MIC!"
Great sound, nice look, cheap plastic shock mount that cost over one hundred dollars to replace. Overall good mic. About the same as the CAD 6000 which is cheaper.
Sound
I don't have any equipment i plug it into the back of my pc and record and the sound is amazing. When I finally did get equipment the sound was unmatched and thats compared to my neumann.
Features
All the accessories were great. The plastic shock mount was flimsy and broke but everything packaged was essential.
Ease of Use
Plug and play
Quality
Everything was great. My only complaint was the shock mount which broke (plastic). The price for another one is over a hundred dollars. Thats retarded.
Value
For the price Im very happy with the sound
