Subject:I'm impressed - such a low cost mic!
Quality: For the cost the quality is very good. Some more expensive mics are better built but the sound quality is impressive for this price range! Excellent for what it is!
Features: As others have said if you unscrew the ring at the bottom of the mic you can access the low-cut switch, if needed, it is marked "100Hz -6dB". Also, it has an anodized aluminum body and a gold diaphragm and comes with a "so-so" (but usable) shock mount.
Ease of Use: Very easy, it just requires phantom power as does any other condenser microphone.
Sound: Truly impressive for the price. I was expecting it to sound reasonable but it sounded better than expected. Also as one other person noted, it sounds excellent as an overhead mic for drums. I used it outdoors on Halloween at my churches annual "Party On The Porch" and it was unbelievable! I think it was the best money spent for a mic in this price range and i've had them for a long time but only recently used it outside of my home studio and they performed well!

Overall:

QUALITY:
The mic isn't as heavy as my AKG perception 100 but it's still made very well.

FEATURES:
Slip off the cover and you'll find a boost. I'm not too into specs but it's there if you need it.

EASE OF USE:
Plug N PLay. Oh yeah, turn the phantom power on. You're good!

VALUE:
Cost less than the MXL 1000 and AKG perception 100 I have and sounds better than both to me. My vocals were actually clearer and fuller than with the previous 2 mics. I like it better than my friends Rode NT1A. But that might just be preference.

SOUND:
Good sound. Recorded my 1st mixtape with it and was impressed. To sample the vocals I was able to get visit my site at http://www.youthtonerecords.com/Music.html

Subject:$69-HOW DID CAD DO IT?
Overall:

QUALITY:
Excellent quality. Very well made.

FEATURES:
The mic itself, it's price plus you don't have to spend extra on a shock mount.

EASE OF USE:
Could'nt be easier. just make sure you turn on your phantom. I tend to forget sometimes.

VALUE:
This mic is worth much more than $69!

SOUND:
I was running sound for a band that the drummer normally supplies his own mics. Turns out at this particular gig he had only brought an "egg" for the bass drum. The only spare mic I had was this brand new "CAD" that was still a "virgin". Well where do you place just one mic to capture the best sound for an entire set of drums? This was the first time I had had this problem plus a new mike I had never used. So I put it on a boom above the center of the set. The result was stunning, I really excpected it to be hot in spots and cold in others but it responded equally between all drums and cymbals. It now is the ma

Overall: We just recorded an entire CD with this as the main lead mic. It sounded fab! Here's a little secret I discovered. If you unscrew the bottom ring and pull off the cover, there is a 20db pad (push on/push off) switch on the circuit board!!!!!!

Subject:What a Surprise!!!
Overall: This mic is just awesome for the money!!! Hint: Run it through a pre-amp like the ART Tube MP - you will not be disappointed - oh yeah - get a 3 dollar windscreen and be prepared to get impressed... Sounds as good as a $300 mic... Great for vocals to do publisher demos.
