### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Mic
*by J***N on April 23, 2014*

I use this for vocals and guitar (electric and acoustic). This is a serious upgrade from the Sterling Audio ST55, which is a fantastic bargain at $200. This mic has amazing specs and an unbelievable choice of 9 input settings. Even the packaging, pop filter and shock mount are high class. I especially like the quarter turn you need to make to attach the mic into the shock mount. Quickly let's you make adjustments. Overall, this was my first expensive mic purchase and I couldn't be happier. Sound quality is top notch. There is a reason why this mic is a standard for recording studios.
