I've had it for seven months but, to be honest, I don't use it much. I prefer my prodipe ST1 lanen, which has a better definition in the high end Did you try any of other models before buying this one? Behringer C1, Prodipe ST1 lanen, Tbone SC600. Which feature do you like the most / the least? Compared to other mics, it's awesome, but for the time being I prefer to work with my prodipe, which is less flat and corresponds better to the sound I'm looking for. The biggest criticism I can make is that it lacks a 100hz low-pass filter, or even a pad (-dB), but that's something you can adjust on the soundcard or preamp or even during mixdown. But hey, it sounds fine. How would you rate its value for money? It isn't that expensive for an AudioTechnica. It's perfect if you are looking for a flat sound you can later process. Based on your experience, would you buy this product again? ... Yes, but not as a main mic, but rather as a backup mic.
