Review: This mic is found in every studio for very good reasons - Bought this mic to take my voice over work to a more pro level. Having used Rode NT1 & Rode K2, I was just blown away by the sound quality of this mic. If you have a decent preamp and/or audio interface, this mic can do wonders for you in both voiceover and vocals work. It has many in built patterns like cardioid, hypercardioid etc. for your choosing. It produces a nice flat sound which gives you a lot of room while editing in the digital w/s. You can use this for voiceover, vocals, instruments and anything and everything. I would highly recommend buying this product as an all-in-one microphone.
