The mic is good for what it says it is good for. It is good for recording vocals and a low to medium-high volume. It also works well for acoustic instruments (guitar, uke, Banjo...) If your intention is to record something extremely loud, such as a guitar/bass amp, this microphone does not perform well in that environment as it clips REALLY BADLY. It's not as good as some of the other mic's I have heard, but for the price it is a great value. Nothing you could get at this price range can come close to this, aside from maybe the Blue Snowball, which I have 0 experience with but have only heard good things about.
As an ambient mic recording a room full of people this mic works stunningly well. It is very sensitive and has very minimal buzz or hum, all of the buzz or hum can be easily equalized out. It is very sensitive to pops such as those resulting from the P or the B sound at the beginning of a word, and it does not come with a pop filter in the set which would have been nice but there are ones for like 20 dollars at guitar center... or you can use the 'ol stretched pantyhose over a coat hanger wire trick and that works well too.
Mic response is pretty bassy, and is very susceptible to the proximity effect. When you are right up to this microphone, any noise you make will rumble out of your speakers. This is good for some thing but it is annoying at other times. You need to make sure the singer/player stays relatively the same distance from the mic at all times, else their voice will change slightly in the recording.
The mic itself is very sturdy feeling my klutzy friends have dropped it, knocked it over and (in a weird case I would rather not explain) thrown it around... and it still preforms the same as it did when it was new. Though I would not recommend being rough with it intentionally.
The built in monitoring only works right in the included Pro Tools. All other DAW's treat it as just another audio interface, which works but is not ideal.
