Since this is my first condenser mic, I can't speak from experience. But this one seems solidly built, and the recordings it makes in my amateur setup sound very good.

Awesome !

Much better than a dynamic mic for vocals while playing accoustic guitar. Don't have to be as close to the mic, picks up ambient guitar also.

Reviewed by Ramiro on B&H Photo Video

I had read very good reviews about this mic, so I wanted to give it a chance. It feels solid and the making is sturdy, feels like a quality mic. The only con is that my voice and ever voice sounds like treble is set to the max. I would preffer a more natural sound.

All in all when I heard this mic through the stores system I was blow away! I bought it got it home and found out it had to be POWERED! No one at the store told me this and after going on line I found hundreds of others with the same problem. Ya see I bought this mic as a standard singing/acoustic P/U mic to plug into a standard amp. NO GOOD! Ya gotta spend more money for a power supply to get it to work.

Get that large condenser clarity for under 100 with tax

Reviewed by Bubby07 on Guitar Center

I use this equipment for home studio recording. I've recorded with this brand a few times throughout my 17 years of recording, and I don't have any major issues with it. This particular mic doesn't come with a shock proof mic holder, so that was an issue. I haven't used the set up because of said issue, and my desktop isn't compatible with Pro Tools or Ableton Live Lite. I've had my gear for a week today and have yet to record properly with it.
