That just shows the power of the Internet. I've recommended a few products before, based on my evaluations, and I learned that sales went thru the roof right after posting my findings - and stayed there.
That's why I'm so careful to ensure that the quality and consistancy are there BEFORE I say anything on the net about anything (
the Behringer ECM8000 was the exception because it would be hard for them to screw it up). If what I test and recommend isn't the same as what you get, due to manufacturing inconsistancies, my evaluations would be worthless.
IF Behringer uses the Panasonic capsule in this mic, consistancy shouldn't be a problem. Building a small omni capsule is pretty easy and straightforward.
It bothers me that many people will often recommend a mic, based only on their owning it (and not having much to test it against), without finding out if it's consistant from unit to unit, like buying Oktavas from GC, where variations can exceed 10dB between identical units. And if ALL the mics at that GC happen to be on the poor side, listening to all the mics and picking the best may wind up with you getting the best of a poor batch - and that's no bargain.
In this case, I think homerecording.com wiped out 8th Street Music's stock of these mics.
