Feature:
There really isn't any special features you can't change the polar pattern.

Quality:
Very sturdy microphone. I have not dropped it yet but it is pretty solid. I imagine the grill would dent easy, but just take care of it. The casing is screwed on tight.

Value:
For $100, you can't beat that. You can very well get professional results with it.

Desirability:
It's a great looking condenser microphone to add to the studio. If your on a budget then this is the perfect microphone to start out with. Silver finish is nice.

Sound:
It sounds great. A great value for the low cost. I would recommend recording in an insulated reinforced sound room because it really seems to pick up everything. For miking a live guitar cab it turns out pretty good if you know what you are doing, placement and equalizing is key.

Ease of Use:
Easy setup, works well with my mixers on board preamp. You do need an equalizer by all means.

Support:
I've personally never had to contact the company for any reason. The mic works great.

Overall:
Overall I enjoy this product a lot. I've said it a few times now but you cannot beat the price. MXL has a great line of condenser and tube microphones.

Quality:
Big bang for the buck! Crap... for $99.00 you can't go wrong. It's not often you can find a mic that can handle acoustic guitar and vocals and do it well but this one does. At least for me. I've owned AKG's costing many times more and this mic certainly gives them a run for the money! No question about it.

Value:
The best value you can find PERIOD!!

Sound:
This mic is amazing. Great lows and mids but the high end is just unbelievable. Beautiful sound and as described... SILKY!!

Support:
Only had needed support a few times for some questions! They were EXCELLENT and went far above my expectations.

Overall:
Just buy it. You won't regret the purchase.
