Condenser large diaphragm variable directivity and PAD.

OVERALL OPINION

It has been nearly 7 years since I use it, I will not hurt others, but this is a MUST HAVE, and it is not for nothing!
This mic is a true Swiss Army knife.
I used both for voice (although I tend to prefer my tube microphones for that) for acoustic guitars, and even snare due to its directivity hypercardio avoiding repisses (including charley!) And the sound quality is always the rendezvous, balanced and sweet, the bass is present and detailed highs without being aggressive.
In short, it deserves its reputation

The value for money seems reasonable on AKG's flagship product.

I remake this choice good to have a pair to Over Head, but I focused on a wide range of microphones, just to have the choice.
