Better than CM-88. This mic sound great on guitar cabs, gives you the highs where they need to be. On acoustic guitar it performs very well, giving the clarity and slaps as they sound in real life. As overheads, they gives sharpness and harsh you need to mix. It gives you the power to accomodate the sound source in the mix easily. It perfomrs better than the tagged price!
