It's a versatile microphone, that responds very well to record far sources. It's spacial resolution in excellent. The sound is very good, it makes more than acceptable professional recordings for live performances.

It's versatility is excellent. You can use it with or without phantom power. It includes XLR cables and also a miniplug. You can easily plug it into a zoom h4n, or a minidisc, or a videocam. It doesn't matters what you're using it for, it will works great.
