    Wonderful true sound, amazing detail

    I would recommend these microphones, probably the best microphones that I own.

    PRO:

    Very good sound, no interference from nearby radio sources which has caused issues with other branded microphones.

    CON:

    Paint has started to chip off, not sure what has caused this. These have been in their case most of their life.

    BEST USES:

    Sound great on piano, a wonderful extended low end

    BOTTOM LINE:

    I would recommend this to a friend.
