Amazing for Vox

I like weird mics and stray away from the ones everybody else uses. This is why I love the Cactus. I run it thru a Martech mic pre->UAD 1176-->LA2A-->DAW. The sound is huge, wide and very warm. I've never EQ'd it at ALL. The vocal pops right in front of the mix- full range- very detailed, smooth and musical. I tends to be a LITTLE on the dark side but thats it charm. I dont know why more people dont use this mic.

After reading some not so great reviews on this mic, I thought I'd share my favorable experience. This is a high end mic. The quality is top notch. It is a great vocal mic. It has a tight low end and a very smooth top end (it doesn't have the shrill high end that many of the cheap Chinese knock offs have). Of coarse you'd want to use a high-end mic pre to get the most out of this mic.

If you like it dark...

Reviewer's Play Style: Most anything

This microphone has a very limited use. If you are recording something harsh that needs taming, this mic might work for you. Otherwise, you will find it too dark on most vocals/instruments. Definitely a mic for very specific recording needs. Not worth the price by a long shot.
