Strengths: Good for instrumental recording, great accessory for MD/DAT, good battery life (with regular AA battery),
Weaknesses: The plastic casing, battery compartment and stand look very cheap, range is only 100-15,000hz
Summary: I used this microphone togehter with minidisc player (MZ-RH1) primarily for recording piano recitals, and the results are overall quite satisfactory. The windscreen functions well to filter out any air movement (I set the mic up in a room with strong fan/AC). The recording sounds clear and crisp with no noise pickup. The battery life is very good: battery is still running strong after >50 hrs of use. The option of 90/120 degree pickup angle is also a nice feature.
ALthough I didn't expect a premium product in this price range, the build of this microphone look cheaper than I expected, and I wonder how durable it will be. The mic on/off switch is too small and somewhat hard to turn on/off. The 100-15000hz range is somewhat disappointing, and the recording (although clear and crisp) is lacking a little sonority (in the highs) and also richness (in the lows).
Although this mic (and a MD recorder) make affordable recording system, I would suggest investing a little more on a better mic (e.g. with standard 60-20000hz), especially if you are having a quality MD/DAT recorder.
