Considering you get 3 capsules for the price. There may not be a whole lot of detail in these, but I felt they were accurate, and were not too hyped in the high end which a lot of these low cost mics are.

CK-1 Mic Review
January 19, 2011
Reviewer:

This mic specifications are the best in his price range and higher. Three capsules all with very wide frequency response, in both low and high frequencies, specially in the high frequencies is difficult to find a match for this mic. The signal output of this mic is considerably higher than almost any condenser mic excluding the expensive mics. The sound is the best of this mic. It sound very natural and real. I just found one deficiency the connector at least in the mics i use was extremelly difficult to connect, using mogami cables. So I need to sand the connector a few. So the finnished of his connector is not the best but no important at least for me the sound is the important in audio products.

Outstanding Performance!!

I buy a pair of CK-1basically for recording acoustic instruments (Violins, pianos, nylon guitar, piano) I was surprise of what I was hearing in my speakers, that’s was the sound I was looking for these project. Then I used in a Stereo Pair session with a big Church Choir (around 50 persons)outstanding results. In other proyect I tried with Drums OH, Hi Hat , Latin percussion (Congas, Bongoes, Timbals, Shakers, Cowbell) its blow my mind. In all the situations in studio recording or in live recording, these are the only mics that never disappoint me. The CK-1 it’s very versatile and comes with Hyper-Cardioid & Omni Capsules also great looking mics. Great inversion!! I own (AKG C1000s, AUDIX DRUMS SERIES, SHURE SM81, AKG C30, KM184 PAIR)

Avant CK-1

Let me start by stating the reason for purchase.Ive been wanting to try a nice SDC on snare and thought this would be a nice mic to start with price and quality wise.My first impressions where nice heavy mic with a heavy duty clip.The paint job was nice as well.The mic fits nicely between the snare and hihat,the tones where natural to the source,a 20 db pad was installed along with the mic pad.After the first session using it I was quite impressed with the tones and decided this would be my snare mic for awhile.The only negitive thing was the capsule cover came off during a session,not sure how but my guess the drum wacked it.Would I buy again?FERSURE!
Good price/performance ratio 
the ck-1 is a great new mic
