Feature:
It picks up audio. What other features are there?

Quality:
The microphone is solid. I've used it on some extremely loud instruments on stage close mic'd, and it always comes out clean. The shockmount is poorly welded though. The outer ring that attaches to the stand has broken, and slips. This is corrected by adjusting the angle of the boom on the stand, but it's a minor annoyance.

Value:
For the price, you can't beat this mic.

Desirability:
It certainly looks nice and different.

Sound:
When I bought this microphone, I was looking into higher end mics at the local store. I was trying a bunch of mics out costing as high as $1000, and wasn't really happy with any of them. The salesperson suggested that I try this one, and immediately fell in love with it. The high end is crisp and strong, and the low end is smooth and rich. I often bring it with me to record live shows and have used it on every instrument and have yet to find a weak point in its sound. Unfortunately, it is a dynamic, so in the studio you're going to need a pretty powerful preamp to catch quieter vocals, but apart from that there are absolutely no downsides to this microphone. It's one of the best I've used.

Ease of Use:
Sounds great.

Support:
Haven't had to use it.

Overall:
I love this mic, and will be using it for many years.
