its a keeper, and will get more as finances allow.
Sound
i use this microphone in a variety of live situations with a variety of singers. i find it to give a strong, clean signal. slightly prone to pop, but clear and detailed. its great to work with and gives good gain before feedback. i'm happy using it with acoustic guitars too. i've used it with inexperienced and pro singers with great success. lots of microphones (beta58, for example) sound like microphones - there is a characteristic sound. this one is transparent, so i like it. which is why i'm getting more
