(5 out of 5) by Joseph Plahs on Sep 9, 2009 (L.I. NY)I have had this mic for a year and 1/2 or so, I use it with an M-Audio Pre-mobile usb amp with phantom power and it has awesome clarity, crisp clean sound. I wouldn't trade it for any other mic.
It's a steal!
(5 out of 5) by A. Ayyoub on May 22, 2009 (Arlington, Texas)I've been a recording engineer for several years. I was on a tight budget and needed a new microphone mainly for guitar and vocals. I was surprised with this microphone's performance. On my vocals the Perception 220 gave a warm, clean signal, slightly enhanced in the high frequencies, giving it an airy sound. Use it on a decent preamp and you'll be happy with the results. It truly is one of the best in its class if not the best. I'm 100% satisfied.

Cant beat it for the price.
(5 out of 5) by Chad H. Ellyson on Mar 31, 2009 (OK, USA)I bought this mic about 3 years ago. It still gets more use than many of my other mics. I've used it for the kick drum, for the bass, and I still prefer it over my 57's and 58's on guitar. It picks up more of the air and still remains focused. You wont go wrong buying this mic.

Truly Great
(5 out of 5) by John Smith on Feb 23, 2009Overall: I have had this microphone for a while. It can be used to record just about anything from vocals, to acoustic guitar, to drums.. you get the point. This mic is great i love to use it.
Ease of use: Setting it up is a sincheasy, I use it with a tripod and pop filter and just plug in the mic cable and your set. It had two switches on it to help get the sound you want and get ride of the sound you don't want.
The mic itself: When recording i must make sure nobody is in my house, this thing will pick up a pin-drop from a mile away. When i pause recording i can hear what people are saying in the floor below me. Using it to record acoustic guitar is incredible. Every pick and strum can be heard with extreme clarity.
Like i said, this mic is great, the only thing that I don't like is hearing what people say about my singing in other ends of the house (joke). but really if this is your first mic or if you wanna record live music I highly recommend this mic.
