zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:
nice and simple.

Quality:
i'm not sure the phantom power actually works on mine. i bought it too long ago to return it. i only used non-phantom mics for a long time. as soon as i tried to use a friend's AKG which needed phantom power, the ART didn't deliver! oh well. back to using my shure 57 and 58.

Value:
i would value it more if it was more quiet.

Sound:
the sound of this product is pretty good. it definitely adds a nice warm tone to your recording. however, it is does come with some noise for some reason. i tried a different power supply, hoping that was the problem, but no. it's a noisy little unit. otherwise, it serves its purpose well - warms up the tone.
