Great!
Oct 12th 2010I went around looking for a LDC for my very small home studio, and after months of looking, listening and comparing, I went with this mic. I'm not disappointed at all, to say the least. It's a little bit on the bright side, but that's how I like it. It's not major. The case and shockmount are all top-notch. I've also purchased some Avant CK-1s and am equally thrilled. This company knows what they're doing.
