Style of Music: acoustic, blues, whatever

Musical Experience: experienced home recordist & musician, soundfont designer

Location: Durham, NC, USA

Feature:
3-pattern optional low cut or pad What more do you want on a mic?

Quality:
No problems.

Value:
Wish I had it 30 years ago, at this price.

Sound:
Excellent as Side mike for mid-side stereo recording. For Mid Side, matched mikes are not necessary: I even use it with SM57 as the Mid mike, e.g., recording acoustic guitar. SP B1 or C1 would be an even better companion. Sounds great through SP VTB-1 preamp.

Ease of Use:
C'mon, it's a mic ... Just be sure the phantom power is on ...

Overall:
It's a keeper.

Paid around 300+ SGD for this mic is simply ultimate bargain you get from a multi-pattern pro studio level mic.

Havent tried but sure confident looking at the warranty terms and conditions.

For beginners looking for multi-pattern studio mic, this one fits the bill without compromising sound quality and price performance ratio. You cant find a closer substitute to this at this price.
