The first one I received had a strange noise (continuously present, regardless of the environment it was used in and what equipment it was connected to). I sent it back to Thomann and they sent me a new one which is perfect.
I use it to record singing, but am convinced it could be used for much more. It is so sensitive it will record a moving IEM cable, or a car passing by in the street (with the mic pointing the other way) in a well isolated house. Therefore, if you're in a noisy environment, this may not be the microphone for you.
There is a low cut switch, but it is inside the housing, so you have to screw it open to get to it.
