I am using this primarily for mid-side recording of acoustic guitar through an Antelope Audio Zen Tour. I also frequently record male vocals using the emulations. This mic adds functionality to the Zen Tour because the emulations can be run through the Zen Tour at the time that you record, without the need for a DAW plug-in (also included). I prefer this because I think it sounds a little better for my applications. I'm not sure how spot on the emulations are, but they all sound great (much better than trying to shape the sound after the fact), and you can match your sound sources to different microphone emulations.
