Sound: it's decent on everything you put in front of it. Feature: great multipattern mic with high pass and attenuator. Quality: very good quality in the way it's built. Value: very expensive compared to other mics which sound as good on voice such as a good AKG,RODE,AUDIO TECHNICA. Overall: kinda (very) overpriced

Back to Product Information
Sound: Like any mic, you need to match it with the source and preamp. When you get the combination right it's wonderful. My favourite, along with the Audio Technica AT4060. Feature: I'd be happier if it had the patterns of the AKG 414X series or Neumann U89/TLM170. Quality: Top quality build. Great attention to detail. Value: Considering a Brauner VM1 KHE costs $10,000 it seems cheap, but the Audio Technica range is excellent but cheap. Manufacturer Support: I had some problems when I bought the mic, and Neumann were wonderful to deal with. The Wow Factor: I will be buying another. Overall: This mic will always be a classic. Some like it, some don't, but it will always be a very practical tool for me.

Back to Product Information
Sound: a good mic,with an over emphasis in the low midrange 400hz to 600hz Feature: has a nice selection of omni,cardiod and figure 8 pattern to choose from. also has a -10db attenuator and rolloff. Quality: at this price ,the quality of build is good,but I am disappointed in the overall sound on vocals. It worked well with accoustic guitar etc. ,but really sucked on voice.I don't know what all the fuss is about this mic.I also own an old u87 which sounds much more natural on vocals then this u87ai. Value: I think this mic is totally way overpriced!! I would not buy another !
