I don't plan on replacing this microphone. I'll keep using it until it breaks or I do.
Sound
I've used this mic for recording many live shows. Put on a nice set of headphones, spill some beer on the floor, close your eyes and it's like you're there.
Features
Adjustable bass level, stereo XLR, I used mine mostly with a home-made 1/8" stereo plug direct to DAT.
Ease of Use
It takes quite a few twists to open the battery compartment... not sure that's a bad thing.
Quality
I've had this mic knocking around my bag for closing in on 15 years, looks like new, still sounds great.
Value
An excellent value.
