I have this mic... it was suggested by a fiend, so I got it! So far, I like it a lot.
It does not color sound at all and does not have dramatic proximity effect...
I am very happy with this mic. I like that proximity effect is sort of blended nicely and as prominent compared to my previous mic rode nt2000
Another mic that I like for some projects is Sennheiser MD 441 - it is such a joy to even hold that mic
