I've done voiceovers for over 20 years. I am quickly coming to the conclusion that microphones have entered the same realm as high end audio. People will spend thousands of dollars for a minscule, perhaps even inaudible improvement. On most voices I have tested this mic creates better results than a U87 - and yes I've done direct comparisons. It's just accurate and pleasant, especially on rich, baritone voices. I use a MicPort Pro and audition 3, and the result will generally surpass my Avalon and Firewire 610. I found that slightly irritating at first, but what I want is a result, not a listing of expensive pieces of equipment. Plus, simpler is better. It's hard to see how anyone could go wrong with this product. Well done.
