It's your standard large diaphragm condenser with bass roll-off and a db pad. It comes with a shock mount and a hard case, which is cool.

OVERALL OPINION

I really would like an AKG 414 or something along those lines, but I'm not rich. The dude at the music store told me to try this for recording my vocals (I had been using a plain old SM58) and it made a huge difference. I'd still like a 414, but instead of saving up for one I decided to buy two more of these, to use for drum overheads (where they also excel). The one thing I've been a little disappointed in is their performance recording acoustic guitar, but that may be my fault, as I don't really know how to mic acoustic guitar properly and my guitar itself is pretty bad.
