I've used one. They're really very just all right. Hold up really well, can be used in a variety of applications. I like them.

Musician's Friend is having a huge sale on CAD and Nady microphones among others...although they are certainly not the best microphones in the world, they do a pretty damn good job on a budget.

I actually have two of them... I've used them as drum overheads, room mics and vocals mostly, although I've tried them on guitar cabs and acoustic stuff too. They won't blow you're mind, but they're pretty good for the money and come with a nice case and a shockmount... Definitely fits the bill for "all-purpose."

yeah, i´m not wanting some mind-blowing, just something good enough - and better than my behringer. they are selling one for 350$, and you can´t find them new here - you can buy a new one in argentina for 900$! so let´s see how the bid goes.

got it!
did a acoustic guitar recording and i´m very impressed. lots of bass and nothing very trebley or uncomfortable. probably will start liking it more and more with the time and when i start miking multiple things with it.

i noticed one problem - not from the mic - it´s my computer. hell it´s noisy! it bleeds in the recording didnt noticed that with a cheap-o mic.
