Tube condenser mic for studio applications.

Exact copy of a Telefunken mic (except for the tube; see http://www.studioreviews.com/m16-460.htm).

I use it for vocals and acoustic instruments (guitar, percussions) and the sound is wonderful.

I recorded with a Projectmix without preamp into Digital Performer.

I recommend it to everyone, especially to people on a small budget because it's unbeatable in its price range.

OVERALL OPINION

- I've been using it fore one and a half years

- I like the polar pattern switch

- No cons.

- I also tested a Rode NT1 and an AudioTeknica.

- Incredible value for money

- I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again.
