Very well made. Solid, Heavy, very much like some vintage models I've used. Features:
you can hear your hair grow with this baby! Ease of Use:
Easy to use. Novices may need some time to "get to know" this one though. Sound:
Let me just say, I grew up recording everything from fiddles to bass singers on Neumann U47's, so I know a thing or two about a good microphone. These 820's lack very little in the detail department. Value:
definitely a good value. Do you own this product?:
