Subject:
The Best, hands down.
Quality:
Extremely well made. Heavy, solid... I have confidence in it.
Features:
The SOUND! It is clean and clear, without sounding overly bright and sibilant like the Beta 58, or pretty much the whole range of Sennheiser mics. This is a killer for female vocals, and it's damn good for male vox too.
Ease of Use:
Well, it's a microphone. Sing into it :-)
Actually, the only issue you may have is phantom power. This is a phantom-powered mic. If you have any problems, change the mic cable - most problems with phantom-powered miss come from questionable mic cables. They may work fine for dynamic miss, but your mic cable needs to be in good condition for it to work with phantom power.
Sound:
It's the best you can get on stage. Clean, clear, without sounding overly bright and sibilant.
Value:
It's a great value. Most instrumentalists have thousands of dollars worth of stuff on stage - guitar, amp, drum kit... and the vocalist shows up with a $99 microphone. C'mon, singers, step up! It's less than a Grand, and it will transform your sound!

Quality:
Solid and heavy.
Features:
It definitely has a tone that other mics lack. I've used a beta 87a for years, and heared an instant improvement with the Neumann. It also made a dramatic improvement in the sound quality of my wireless in-ears! It actually makes it easier to sing!
Ease of Use:
Plug and play. Be cautious of the gain, as this mic is "hot".
Sound:
The tone is crisp and brilliant. For lack of better term, it seems more "precise" than the Shure betas.
Value:
Definitely. I opted for the wired version, as the wireless capsules are cost prohibitive.

Subject:
Oustanding clarity
Quality:
I knew it was well made just by the name
Features:
I could tell a marked improvement in clarity as soon as I sang through this mic!! Also backfield rejection was remarkable- no feedback! I think it is so clear though that a windscreen or dess-er is neccessary- someone remarked about a high end "noise"- I think they where hearing the S's
Ease of Use:
Again some processing "dessing"would help- especially if you are a less than pro singer.
Sound:
Unbelievable tone and clarity
Do you own this product?:
