"Great Sounding Mic … but looks small."

When I first opened the box I was surprised at how small this mic actually is. I love Sonys mic and have had the pleasure of using a C-800. Despite the small appearance this mic sounded amazing!! It’s close to C-800 but does not have all the magic a c-800 has. That being said, I’m very impressed with this mic!
