I have had this mic for a while. If you're a rocker, I would not recommend this mic. Like the guy said earlier too much noise going into it permanently breaks the microphone. I cannot do anything with the mic because of the crackling. It was a good price, but not a very durable mic. Didn't have a very long life span.

I use this mic for recording guitar amps, and acoustic. Sounds fairly good, a little dark, or muffled. but over all fine! (as long as the SPL's are low!) bad pulsives, but for light vocals, room mics, insturments, you cant beat the price! One problem was with the shockmount, the wing nut on the clamp broke a couple days after recieving it. Thank god for spare nuts and bolts!

I bought this mic for home studio recording and have had it for about six months. Last week I had to play for a benefit singing and took it to use with my buddy's PA, just in case. Wow, when we used it for live bluegrass like the old days when everybody gathered around the mic to play it rocked the house. I stood out and listened when some of the other bands played and it was just plain awesome. I also use an Art tube pre-amp for the phantom power and the combo really came alive together.

I'm starting to set up a small home studio where I have been trying to find the best deals where I don't have to spend too much money. When I got this mic I was blown away by the quality. Its very nice to have, especially for vocals. Definitely take a look at this one.

P.S. It's a condenser mic so it needs phantom power (+48V) and use a windscreen (pop filter)to prevent you from short circuiting the mic. (thats why people are getting the crackling noise that eventually breaks it)

This is a tricky subject. This is a good mic for a home studio for the price. That being said, this mic is cheaply built and does not sound balanced. It is very, very bright. Uncontrollable high frequency boost on this thing. I tried to EQ around it on a recording and it just made it sound worse. Sibilance was also a problem here, even with a de-esser. To the amateur home recording enthusiast, you will probably think this mic sounds great. Next to a 58, recorded, it really does sound better. But, for a large diaphragm condenser mic, even in this price range, I would recommend something else. Anyone with experience should be able to hear how skewed the high frequency response is, when compared to higher dollar condensers.
