The new Sputnik large-diaphragm studio tube condenser microphone is based on classic vacuum tube design principles and manufactured in state-of-the-art facilities to exacting standards, this multi-pattern, large diaphragm studio condenser delivers the lush, classic sound that is normally associated with rare and expensive vintage mics.
Feature: everything i could expect from a mic (rolloff, patterns and pad)
Quality: looks really solid, sounds very solid and the body shines a lot
Value: For the money, it beats my old Rode NTK all the way. I sold my rodes and i only use this one now.
Desirability: So desirable!!
Sound: sounds like the luna but with a touch of tube... i'm sold all the way
Ease of Use: works straigt out of the box
Support: I HAD PROBLEMS WITH BX8a's and I have exchanged them 3 times with m-audio directly. Very very nice support there.
Overall: By far the best mic I've own to date. I previously had M-Audio Luna, Rode NT1000, Rode NTK, AT4040, AT4033/CL. The 4033 was my best solid state one :)
