Product Rating Your general opinion of this product. Sounded great on my guitar amp, blew away the cascade!Warm but had some cool midrange, not as dark as I thought. Pretty solid for the money, it's heavy! Put on a stand, stick it in front of your amp... Don't like the cardboard box, wish it had a real case. Really good, made my rig sing! Sounded great on drums too.

Your general opinion of this product. Great build quality, great "fit and finish", very good sound. The mic is very beefy and seems to be very well made. Plug and play. It's passive, so you don't even need phantom power. I will probably add some kind of shock mount to this (it doesn't come with one). VERY nice sounding mic for the money! If I am being honest, I have been able to use other ribbon mics that I liked better (in a commercial studio), but those were "active ribbons", and they were way, way more expensive...I could never afford one myself. This mic is extremely affordable, and it still sounds great! I have used it on guitar amps, brass and even as an over-head drum mic (I was trying to get an "old school" sound). In all instances, it worked great. I have not tried it on vocals yet, but I could see it working as a nice mic for background vocals. If you want to add a ribbon to your mic locker, I don't see how you could go wrong with this.
