I'm surprised to see this question in the Low End Section. I consider it a great all around mic. Maybe more of a cheaper High End?

I used it on vocals with great results (even though it's not really a vocal mic) and on acoustic instruments.

I recently did a mic shootout (on vox) where I put it against a Peluso P12 and amazingly they where getting the exact same sound (same waveform too).
I can post the files if you are interested.
It kinda makes sense since they are both based on the same capsule, but the similarities are impressive, almost like a matched pair.
Cheers
