So, I bought this mic, heard forums with samples of it and fell in love with it. I PERSONALLY chose it over the tlm 49. I think it should be priced at about 2g + in my opinion. Its so silcky at the high end, and clear with the lows! The part that makes it a MUST BUY was the fact that I had a client who dropped it and the grille cracked and it then the mic had a fuzz in it due to the drop, which was on on wood. ( so it wasnt an short fall, or cheaply made, this guy was about 6'2") I emailed MIKTEK and they said they would fix it for me FREE OF CHARGE. THIS MADE MY DAY! No other mic company would do this for accidental damages. MIKTEK IS LEGIT! And I will forever have this mic and have no problem recomending it to others. BTW, the look of the mic is $$ and the build..very sturdy! a must buy! and forget about neumanns even 2ce its price range.. this it the mic you want!!

Awesome

I've had this for over a year now and have used it on upright bass, cello, kick drum, kalimba, vocals, and all kinds of acoustic guitars (steel, nylon string, etc.) I do find it to be a bit brighter than reality sometimes, but not in that brittle way that most cheap condensers seem to pierce your ears with. This is more of a smooth hi-fi bright - hard to describe, but it sounds good on a lot of things. When needed I just roll off a db or so from 5k up and that's about all it takes - and sometimes flat is great. Also works really really well in conjunction with a ribbon (I use a Royer 121.) For sibilant vocalists I just put the mic in a little lower position, more down toward the chest - works wonders.
Overall this mic has been awesome and sounds so much fatter, cleaner, crisper-in-a-silky-way than any other mic I've come across. Far prefer it to a U87. Get it in the right position and there isn't much this mic can sound bad on I don't think. That's my 2 cents!

Fantastic Voice-Over microphone

I had been on a search for a great voice-over microphone for several months to complement my industry-standard U87 and Senn 416. I tried several different mics ranging from $1000 to $5000 including well-known brands, but none had that "sound" I was looking for. My Front End Audio rep suggested I take a listen to the CV4. After plugging it in, it took me about 10 seconds to realize that I was hearing one of the best microphone bargains ever. This mic just sounds so nice on voice-over. I took it to a commercial studio to verify what I was hearing. The engineer there listened to it and said, "If I had 1400 bucks right now, I'd snap that baby up in a heartbeat!" Try it, you won't be disappointed.
Amazing mic! Even better customer service!!`
