Very static sensitive
Linear from 20 to 20,000 Hz
2 directional
Low cut
And I think also a-10dB but I'm not very sure

OVERALL OPINION

Micro very, very clean, looks pretty neutral, but very clear. May seem cold but in fact it only go higher than what we used with our poor dynamic con type SM58.
Not very suitable for the stage (Larsen right away) that I saw used on African percussion music once.

It sounds like that is sensitive and can be any record with voice, acoustic guitar, electric, brass, strings, reverb ...

It has the default quality: some transparency. Unflattering, it seems a bit lacking in character ... which is certainly true. I never tried the Neumann home so I can not compare with the references TLM103 or U87 type.
But it has never been a problem, I find it very good.
However, to use a violin or a cello, I would recommend an ATM 33 is much better for it.
