This is quite an unusual microphone in that it sounds very "plain". It is very stable, well behaved if you will, and brings a new poise to the often exadurated kick drum channel. With no real built in frequency emphasis, as the engineer you are free to shape the sound how you like, that may be a heavily emphasised pop kick or a smooth, rounded jazz hit, this microphone really does open new doors.
