Micro lamp on the principle of AKG C12, but made in China under American control.
The microphone is supplied with a suspension, power, cable to the microphone 7 meters I think, three interchangeable lamps giving the different colors and a nice carrying case.

The microphone is a variable directivity: cardioid, omni and figure-8, and what with all the intermediate positions. It has a low cut switch (80Hz) and a 10 dB pad.

OVERALL OPINION

As for the quality of the material provided is really very good and very beautiful (see the site consrtucteur). The microphone comes with a doc in which the guy who controls the microphone to a US sign his name and with the same date.

The sound it provides is exceptional. Hot and very defined, an embellished Clarete, the wheezing are present but are very nice. No more desseurs. The voice is very natural and well presented. At the moment not yet tested on other instrumentals.

If you want to listen (other mics as well): https://www.studioauditions.com/jamroomsessions_home.php

I could not compare with a real C12, but I do not care, the result is really impressive. In short, based on my personal opinion and that of all the testers on the Internet (see reviews of the product from the manufacturer or other forums), I think we have a product that's worth a look. In addition it is really cheap: $ 500 online.

3 POINTS TO CONSIDER all the same:
1 - They are not many distributors.
2 - The delivery times are long enough (I had to wait one month and a half) because of slow production. But hey, who said he had to be pressed ...
3 - Using the low cut switch, you get an awful plop in listening, so be careful.
