Sound Pure's Take
Like the rest of the line, the C1 rivals microphones costing as much as five to ten times its price. Awesome for low-budget studios that demand high quality vocal recordings. It also doubles well on instruments and anywhere else you'd need a high-quality condenser. If you want to step up a bit, try checking out their C3, or possibly even their extremely fine T3!
