Im a serious singer and guitarist and audiophile; I have tried a lot and i mean a lot of great microphones on the market . This is so far my favorite Mike, it is so clear, dynamic ,and have an excellent airy Truthfull *sound* if one may say so; it does not add, or color the sound,how can i explain it ?= Its just if you put something in the one end , it will purely bring out the same in the other end.= I am very quite amazed.I And it is furthermore made in Europe ! Can you ask for more? Go ahead and try it yourself.
