Overall this thing is incredible, I would recommend them to anyone in the market for a couple of good SDCs.
Sound
This mic has a very smooth, crisp response. I use them as drum overheads and to pick up a very nice acoustic guitar sound. It also provides a neat alternative for vocals, if you like a punchy vocal sound.
Features
Pretty straightforward, no switches, just one well-built mic.
Quality
This mic is very well built. The finish has stayed flawless despite having come up against some rather snug mic clips.
Value
For 150 bucks this is a fantastic mic. I don't think any other mic in its class and price range is quite this good.
Manufacturer Support
Haven't had any need to get ahold of them, this thing is fantastic.
The Wow Factor
very good looking mic, clean, no-frills design.
