My personal favorite microphone. The amazing warmth and response of a tube is like christmas morning. Ive used this from distant micing drums to vocals. never have been disapointed. I'm sure everyones results have varied but if you have the money its worth having a mic that sounds amazing.

I love this mic

I have owned this mic for six years or so. Before I purchaced it I had the chance to try out six or seven big name mics in my studio at the same time. All were good performers,the Rode was and is outstanding. It is extremely sensitive,and sounds beautiful.If you put it in the right spot it will do as good or better than anything out there. The down side is you NEED a good heavy duty mic stand and boom as it is a heavy mic. You will also will need some good soundproofing it is extremely sensitive and can pick up the most interesting background noise that you never knew was there. A feast for the ears and it looks good too. Oh I almost forgot.I payed a lot more money for mine somewhere else.
