Overall, the mic did a respectable job, but didn't blow me away. Somewhat midrangey. The two sides offer differing tonal variations, though (since my mic is unlabled) I can't really tell you which is the "front" or "back," so I just used the side that sounded best to me at the time. The overhead sounded pretty good. Vocals were just o.k. Guitar sounded kind of honky -- but I didn't take much time with placement, so it could have been just that.
Anyway, it's probably a useful mic to have around, but I wouldn't want to use it for everything.
