Best value:
Excellent
It is a tube condenser microphone, with a wide directivity membrane and 3: in 8, omni and cardio.
I use it mostly for voice but also occasionally for acoustic guitars.
OVERALL OPINION
It is now two years that I have and I could look into the studio with other static tube in a preamp Analog Device (something neutral so relativment): a Prodipe Ludovic Lannen, a Neumann U47 and ADK. To my surprise, if Prodipe and ADK were really initéressants (acute aggressive and lacking body in the lower midrange), the M-Audio is the one who held the best distance in front of his majesty the U47. The highs are very sweet and generous super low, probably due to the lamp used (a small Phillips, not a 12AX7 as on most tube microphones to low-end, which makes no sense).
A real good plan that I recommend to any home studio, although some finishing defects are annoying: too long a cord to store easily in the carrying case and cutting the foam inside of that briefcase so bad realized that it requires to store the mic preamp on position.
Apart from that little detail, go for it because it's really a good plan that many do not know ...
