OVERALL OPINION

- During a studio session
- Yes, lots of others in this market segment
* The +: a general clarity and versatility
* The - I have not played enough to find him a real fault
- Excellent value for money despite Chinese copies
- I plan to buy a used one, according to the state

I think this mic is slightly more neutral than a TLM 103: without the 'hump' characteristic of the latter (which I appreciate, but that does not happen by itself), with a softer tone, less overtones, and a non-naturalist realism very welcome in overhead (ie it is not 'clinical', though the rendering depends bcp accompanying preamp). Many air and transient with Trident.
