Beautifully elegant, robust and good sound
- Four different directional characteristics
- Nice solid design
- Plug & play
Plug & play, easily adjustable for different applications. Sound is good not perfect but it is still a USB microphone. The best sound I've experienced so far with a USB microphone. Good product for people who want something more than an entry-level model and don't want to pay the top price for a pro Line microphone.

An excellent multifunctional workhorse
does exactly what it's supposed to do, and more. Just a bit heavy to take with you on the move.
