WOW. this mic exceeded all my expectations. I upgraded from a dynamic mic for recording vocals with same preamp and audio interface, but it picks up details and warms up the voice so much. I could not believe how good I can sound.

I dare you to try this mic along side a $400.00 mic and see if you can tell the difference. Like a lot of people I need to get the most for my money and while I do not like certain Behringer products, I have to say that this is one great mic. It is crystal clear and it comes with a great wind shield and case that you do not see with mics in this price range. Buy it and I guarantee you will be buying more. This is the perfect vocal mic. I have also used this to mic my amp in the recording studio. Be prepared to do a lot of takes because it will pick up every little sound you make before you play and during your playing. i.e. my squeaky chair I like to sit in when I record.

I've used this mic for several recording sessions over the last few years, and found it to contribute a rich, warm tone to the recording. It is also very sensitive, reliable and noise-free. There is a switch on the body of the mic that allows you to vary it's output sound, and it works pretty well. The case that it came with included an anti-vibration mount and wind screen, which is very handy if you are an amateur musician like myself, and don't want to spend alot on auxiliary gear, like cables, stands, etc..
I have used this mic as a substitute for a Shure SM-57 which I used to record vocals with in my studio. Since it requires phantom power, I use it through a Behringer mixing board before going directly into a Tascam Portastudio 5. It always gives me the sound I'm looking for. I intend to use it in the future to mic a Hammond M3 organ for recording. Behringer products are excellent!
