Feature:
Ok. No low cut switch/-10db pad.Could be better.

Quality:
Strong, robust built with good material engineering for durability added. You would know this mic takes the beating from the extreme usage and loud singing. Good mic for vocals and guitars.

Value:
For below hundred bucks, you get close to RODE mic quality. What else matters.

Desirability:
Want it of cos.

Sound:
Good SPL level, dynamic range and transient sound reproduction.

Ease of Use:
Plug and play

Support:
Friendly and Good

Overall:
This mic though new but has established its brand name in comparison with big brands like neumann, rode and AKG. I will buy back the same one if this ever gets lost, stolen or spoilt(Trust its quality is lasting, no doubt). Good Job, M-Audio for providing professional quality condenser mics, at an unbeatable price.

Feature:
There are no pad switches or anything like that, it's a plug and go mic, which I like. While it would be nice to have different patterns to choose from so far I haven't found that I need them.

Quality:
This thing is a miniature tank! I can't believe how heavy duty it is and the screen is double mesh so it's not cheap looking. The whole mic is very nice.

Value:
This is a great mic for someone like myself who's venturing from a cheap Radio Shack mic to this big world of recording. I bought my used so I got an even better deal than buying it retail.

Desirability:
It looks very professional, it sounds very professional and it's only $99, what more could you ask for?

Sound:
I'm not a studio professional but this mic sounds wonderful to my ears! I bought it mostly for acoustic guitar but also planned on doing some amp micing and vocal work with it. I've found that it has done all of these with great results!

Overall:
If you're wondering whether or not to get this mic chances are that you need it. If you're a professional you're going to get something more expensive (the merits of doing so are questionable however) but if you're just getting started like myself into the world of digital recording this is the work horse for you.

Feature:
No buttons or on/off switches... Nice. Plug and play makes for one less headache when trouble shooting a sound system. Has a standard Cardiod Pattern. Be sure you can deliver +48V phantom power to the mic. I wish it came with a shock mount, but the mic mount that comes with it works fine, so why am I complaining? This is perfect for a home podcasting studio.

Quality:
The word "Tank" comes to mind. If the components on the inside are anything like the casing on the outside, then this microphone truly is a tank

Sound:
coming from a $4.99 radio shack mic to this one is a true difference. I was going to get the MXL 990 but this one is truly a better buy. The range you can get on this mic is almost perfection!
