I like this mike and find that it is just about the best mike I have for the money.
Sound
This mike is transparent, high quality sound despite its price, very good for vocals and guitar. It may not be better but it is comparable to most anything out there. I have not tried it on much else.
Features
Accessories included a very nice case, shock mount holder, cable and windscreen
Ease of Use
If you take the time to find the ideal placement you will probably be very pleased with the results.
Quality
This is a well made piece of equipment
Value
It is worth the money even if I had paid more for it. I think it will give me years of good service. It is a shame that they do not make these products in the US.
Manufacturer Support
I had an issue with the cable. I called support and they replaced it without a hassle. The support is much better than the support I received from companies such as Heil.
The Wow Factor
This mike looks very similar to other Studio Projects microphones but the sound is a bit cleaner than say the B1 which is OK but not as good as the TB1. Sex appeal does not belong in the mic rating system but if a B1 is a pretty cute girl, this one should stop you for a sec.

Verified Customer

It's a terrific mic if your looking to step up your game from a Samson or other entry level mic. It won't give you the sound of a Neumann, but you won't have to pay nearly as much.
Sound
Warm, crisp, clear
Quality
Durable, made to last.
Value
It's a good value. You are getting a fantastic Mic for a fraction of the cost
The Wow Factor
It's a nice looking mic. It's sleek, but not sexy enough for me to want to drool over it.
