20mm 6 microns capsule
30 - 20 000 Hz
Sensitivity: 10 mV/Pa
SPL: 134 dB
2.3" x 5.1"

This mic doesn't have a low-cut filter nor -10 dB pad

Sold with shock mount suspension and case but without cable,
which is good to know if you want to test it as soon as you get home!

OVERALL OPINION

I haven't had the time to really test it.
No noise, very good sensitivity (a given, being a condenser)
Nice finish, the suspension seems all right.
In short, it is really worth the $130. Impeccable to start out.
to record sound for little money!
Don't forget to buy an XLR cable, because none is included.
I bought it because it was the cheapest I could find in my city, including a suspension
and, besides, it got a good review in a magazine.
It's surely not the best (its curve has a bump in the highs),
but it's nice to start out, in my opinion.
The Manoir studio (in Léon, France) has two of them among its mics!

Edit from June 2005:
You can now find less expensive micsl,
like the T-Bone SC 300 that sells for $40! And the Apex 435, which can be bought for $100!
