it's aight

i use it from time to time... it's okay for what it is. it's big selling point with me is it's tight pattern, not because it sounds better than a 57. good isolation, but watch out for the rear lobe and the hi hats!

my go to is usually a 421; offers more high end detail and bottom "oomph"... but the bleed is terrible on this, the pattern is so wide.
