The Solaris is a large-capsule condenser microphone that sounds as good as it looks. Beneath the stylish exterior lies the best-sounding solid-state electronics available at any price. Vintage design principles merge with incredibly tight manufacturing standards to yield no more than +/-1dB of deviation across the entire 20Hz-20kHz frequency range. The industry-thinnest evaporated gold diaphragm also delivers incredible sensitivity. Multi-pattern architecture provides flexibility that makes it ideal for just about any miking situation—included capturing vocals, guitar, piano, drums and live events. It's like having three mics in one.

This Compared to Nuemanns Microphones are identically the same. Clean edges on the sounds and switches are very handy. Had this for 4 months now and I love it. Needs a special pro quality Mic Preamp for this baby though. Works exceptional with my Presonus Firestudio Project Pres. I give this 5 stars.
