For the money you just cannot go wrong. This mic is wonderfully warm and accurate. So far I have only used it on vocals and I luv it...........

  The Best Sounding Microphone for the money 
by Laniko Music from Northern California, May 2007
Music Background:  Professional Vocalist, Engineer, Songwriter

I recently upgraded my microphone collection to include a tube microphone. After shopping around and demoing various microphones to include Neumann tube microphones in this price range I have to say that this is the best of its class. This baby screams pro!! More options than any other microphones at this price and built like a tank. Class A valve circuitry, 6072 twin triode, edge-terminated 1" gold sputtered diaphragm, and custom designed JENSEN transformers. This microphone is warm, transparent, airy on the top end, open, and fat. All of the things you would expect to get from multiple microphones you can get with just one! It comes with a basic mount, shock mount, custom built double shielded oxygen free copper multicore cable with custom designed heavy duty plugs and sockets, and power supply with -10dB and -20dB Pads, a 2 position high pass filter, and 9 polar patterns all of which are adjustable from the power supply itself. And to top it off, all of this comes to you in a solidly built custom aluminum flight case. Great value! Plenty of options. Great Buy!

  Rode Classic 
by Mahatma Das from Gainesville, Florida, December 2006

Warm, fat, realistic and bigger than life. I once recorded a hypnotherapy voice over with the Classic and the warm big sounds was extremely pleasing to listen to. When I first got it I recorded a friend playing acoustic guitar and when I played it back it was as if the guitar player was playing live in my room. When I record my friend's vocals they always say they love the sound and they don't get that sound at other studios.

The best way I can describe it is that it has a very large, realistic and soothing sound and stands out from many other mics.

Very impressive mic 
by Martin Dubreuil from Paris France, January 2005

I did recording for the last 8years with this mic.
I in very truthfull to was you record. Nice bottom without too much coloration like Neumann Mics. I like the clarity and transparence of it.
I is a very good tool for me. I work on Soundscape DAW.

Great for everything

The Classic II has been a staple in my arsenal for a year now. It sounds absolutely amazing as a room mic and its bright yet full sound often make it a first choice for vox. Highly recommended.
