Very, very nice, you wont get any complains from your clients
Sound
This was my very first profesional mic in my carrer. I honestly say that Shure was never let me down, with a little perspective and good ear you can make recordings to be fluid and crispy, i love this mic for snare drums, of course voice, or just for a fun ambiental mic. A little EQ (sometimes) and a good preamp and... you got a winner. I feel this mic is like a little teacher, just talk to him and he will give you an answer. i give it a nine cause i think there are better mics, that`s all.
Features
Well, the roll off and pad are very precise, you can even see in your spectrometer the diference with and amazing control (sorry for the spelling)
Ease of Use
Use your ears, the ease of use is within yourself i think
Quality
Ok, i got some troubles with the shockmount, it seems the screw that holds can be a little chessy (sorry but its true) More that one time i had to stop the recording because the shockmount didnt hold the mic.
Value
For the price and the sound you can get i think honestly is a bargain
Manufacturer Support
