Feature:
This mic is my new best friend.Its sounds like a 57...except not. At first glance(or touch) it is noticebly heavier and more rugged than a 57, and being that it has an all metal shell, it could probably withstand a hard hit from a drummer or a drop to the floor much better too.
Quality:
obviously more rugged than a 57, all metal shell, less handling noise. and it sounds good too!
Value:
if you like 57s, youll like this mic.....if not, then you probably arent reading this review.
Desirability:
perhaps i will buy one or two more, to supplement my 57 collection.as far as sex appeal goes, your kinky girlfriend might enjoy it.
Sound:
It sounds like a 57 with a mid scoop....and the charts show that too, so no surprises there. it does have ALOT less handling noise, my feeling is that the rotating head/grill assembly on the 57 transfers minute vibrations. As far as output, it is about the same as the 57 i paired it against, but it takes EQ and FX better. Up close it has a more pronounced proximity effect than a 57, but it doesnt have the telephone-esque sound that the 57 has, and therefore, sounds quite pleasant..it might even make a nice kick drum mic.
Support:
not needed.
