This microphone is quite good for its price range, with a warm sound if positioned at the optimal angle and distance. It is useful for picking up an upright piano or acoustic guitar, or whenever a large condenser mic isnt an option. It is also small enough to do more experimental sound capturing. May not be sturdy enough for longer uses outside studio, like touring. Sound is decent to good for the price. With distance sound quality weakens. Appropriate for the home studio.
