I suspect that I will not tire of this mic. I have more expensive ribbons but this one will always find a use in my studio.
Sound
This thing sounds great! The only reason I give it a 9 and not a 10 is that there are better ones out there... .but not at this price. Absolutely OUTSTANDING on electric guitar cabs. Very nice on accoustic guitar and pretty good for vocals too. It's pretty flat so what you put in is pretty much what you get out. It's not a Royer but you can get 5 of these for the price of 1 Royer.
Features
Not a lot of features but it's a ribbon. What do you expect?
Ease of Use
Put the basket on a stand and put the mic in the basket... point and record. Wonderful.
Quality
They have to cut costs somewhere. The mic itself seems pretty sturdy. The mounting portion of the basket is very good and will hold the mic in any position required, but the clips that hold the mic in the basket are pretty flimsy. Be careful and it will last a long time.
Value
You will not finder a nicer ribbon at this price.

"Horrible Mic"
Verified Customer

I bought this for a second mic on guitar cabs. We couldn't get it in phase for days on end with the dynamic. When we listened we could hear the ribbons folding. What a mess. Standard rock, nothing fancy, and couldn't handle close mic SPL at all. Tried a second and the same issue, different cabs, etc. no change. The two ribbons on examination are very loose in the holder one and clearly not in synch....sad I had high hopes.
