A terribly underrated active ribbon microphone.
I use this microphone as a rear mic for my amp when I use my speaker cab in the open back mode. You'll rarely find reviews about this microphone and not many people know about it. It's quite a shame because this microphone is a terribly underrated gem of a microphone. Along with the usual warmth of a ribbon microphone, its sound also has an almost three-dimensional feel to it. Due to its active nature, it's damn easy to drive this microphone. I have listened to recordings done with ribbon microphones that cost twice the price of this microphone but none of them have the smooth, three dimensional, and lively tonality of this microphone.
