"Good Value "

I personally ordered this mic because i saw microphone parts had an easy upgrade for it (the RK-87 capsule swap). But before i did the swap (about a week after purchase) the mic is pretty nice out of the box, comes with a hard case that isn't included with most microphones in this price range (even some more expensive options). Inside the case there is a really nice shock mount and the p220. The mic out of the box sounds fine just about as good as any other budget LDC, but with the RK-87 capsule swap its crazy, the mic sounds very similar sound to that of a vintage Neumann. If you have a small knowledge of electronics/soldering i highly recommend buying this mic and doing the capsule swap.
