Rating: 9/10

ok, yes, i know 9/10 is a VERY high score but bear with me on this one... basically it boils down to bang per buck.. and as much as this is no neumann, all you have to do is check that price tag... se it?... You may have to look hard... it's quite small and you might miss it... Found it yet? Yep, that's right, £64... I've spent more than that in pizza hut! It's impossible for me to slag off anything about this mic at that price, I've been using it for about a year now (bought from Dolphin Music on their recommendation), after doing a bit of research and homework (as well as vocal analysis using Audition software) i decided that I'd take the plunge and risk a few quid (I'd budgetted up to £500 for my main mic purchase, attic studio you see, so even £500 seemed excessive)... the way i figured it, if the mic sounded nasty i could always chuck it on ebay and only lose a few quid... but, it's been the best £430 I've ever saved in my life :-) This mic does everything i need it to do, the freq response suits my voice marvelously, the price meant i could invest in more outboard gear and also buy a dedicated pre-amp instead of having to use the phantom power supplied by my Akai DPS16...
Before i started writing this i sat with pen and paper trying to think of something bad to say about this mic... I'm still trying... Erm.... I'll get back to you if anything suggests itself to me... No, i will really... erm... don't wait up though...
