"A high quality, all round microphone that suits me."

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I have no reason to change this for anything else. If it werelost I would replace it with the same. I have had some superb, vivid recordings ( modern jazz, choral and folk) with this and could probably only better this with much more expensive mics such as Neumanns.
Sound
clean sound with a clear deep bass reproduction
Features
good shock mount.
Quality
Good solid construction as I would expect from AKG. easy to use switches. Good matching between pairs of mics. It is very dependable. I don't need tothink about a back up. Could last longer than me.
Value
It compares very favourably with other mics of its quality.
Manufacturer Support
Easy to reach. very friendly. gave me excellent advice in comparing this mic with others from their range and other manufacturers.
The Wow Factor
Has a good solid, professional look. It feels good to handle. It impresses clients by its looks and size.

Musical Style:

Jazz, Choral, Folk, improvisations, live performances.
