Feature:
Nuthin fancy, it's just a mic! The integrated mic-clip w/ rubber shock mount is of high quality.
Quality:
Mic appears to be built well externally, but obviously the interior parts (the important part!) are inferior due to the crappy sound.
Value:
I wouldn't use this mic in my kick if someone gave me this mic for free. If I got it for free I'd throw it out.
Desirability:
It's your standard-lookin' mic.
Sound:
I bought this mic to use in my 22" Tama Rockstar kick drum. It sounds like a great big turd! The mic has a boominess that cannot be eq'ed out or even tamed with compression. There is NO bottom end. The mic is all 160hz and above, none of the 40-80hz range that makes a bass drum hit you in the stomach is there. I am not joking when I say that I can get a better sound out of my kick with an SM57 than with this mic.
Ease of Use:
It's a mic. You plug it in. Very easy to use.
Support:
Dunno, didn't need it. I'm calling zzounds tomorrow and returning it.
Overall:
This mic might sound ok on a bass cab or a floor tom (I dunno, I was so disgusted I didn't bother to try!), but for kick drum applications it just sounds awful. As I said before, terribly boomy and no bottom end, which is ironic considering it's a "low-frequency mic." When I killed everything 160hz and above on my rack's eq to isolate and test the lows, I literally got NOTHING out of the speakers.
