I've had this Mic for 3 months now and I'm very impressed. The hypercardoid pattern on a large-diaphragm dynamic platform is a brilliant design. It's got a sparkling top end, a bit of a scooped midrange and a smooth bottom end. Very little proximity effect, however, just enough to get a little emphasis on voice depth when your lips touch the grille. Excellent sibilance and plosion rejection. I'm my opinion, this is a must have for the mic locker.
