After 1 1/2 years no ploblems. It has outlasted the shockmount that was included. It lasted 8 months.
Features

Captures every little sound. I used them as overheads to give a full sound in med/large night clubs and reception halls. Between shows, i use to record at home with my software. I record all shows and they amaze everyone. Little heavy. Black duct taped the stands to the floor.

Love the sound. This year i'm switching to the lighter GXL 1200's and using the 2200's for the background singers.

Only time will tell. This is the first week I've owned it, but it appears to be made very well, as stated above.
Features

I don't have anything to compare it to, as I'm sure that it's not comparable to a $10,000 mic, but for the ridiculous difference in the price, I'm very pleased with the clarity, the rugged appearance and feel.

There was no manual with mine; only a spec sheet, but plug it in, turn on the phantom power! This is my first ever condenser mic, and will complement my low-budget equipment, and upgrade my whole recording sessions.

My first words when I gave it the Thomas Edison test, was "wow" ! "Popping" is not a "P"roblem ! I have been using various mics for recording, i.e. Shure SM58, AT's and even an old EV664 (one of my favorite oldies), but this will definitely be "THE" recording mic for my humble little home studio. I love it !

The tone it gives your voice. Typically I go with sure or some of the higher bidders. But this mic gave me great tone. I was blown away with the sound that it produced.

The CAD GXL2200 is amazing quality for the price. The best feature about this mic is the clarity. I use this mic as reinforcement while recording practice sessions with the band. The GLX2200 simply makes the recording so much fuller and alive!

Disgustingly Cheap....but Good!

The product is constructed fairly well, but is made up of cheap components. It uses a sparsely populated circuit board with transformerless output, housed in thin metal. I think it will be dependable if reasonable care is taken.
Features

The 100 hz hi-pass filter. I would add an external switch, instead of forcing the user to disassemble the unit.

Very easy to use, except for the hi-pass switch, where you disassemble the mic. The mic is sensitive to your mixer's 48v phantom power quality. It wants a perfectly balanced power signal, or it will give a slight hum, like it did on my little Tapco 120 board. It liked my Tube MP preamp, though! There was no real manual, and nothing in my kit revealed any info about the 100 hz hi-pass filter. I suspect the mic is a Ningbo Alctron product, despite what CAD says.
Sound
How is the tone?
Very good sound. A little ragged around the edges, but warm and friendly. Not as extended on the top and bottom as my AKG Perception 100, but reasonably good.
