This is a great responding microphone, I have been putting it to severe testing for about three months. I have been playing with this stuff for about 15 years, so I have developed kind of a good ear for audio. In my opinion this microphone is absolutely no muddy. For me it's got a great response of the audio spectrum. In vocal mode, I have singed normal, loud and louder and it feels like it has a deep response, like if someone was pulling the mic back so that it does the vocals don't hit the bottom. in other words, this type of quality mic, will be able to handle louder volumes and louder sinnging, with out a popin sound and feeling like when you sing without a microphone. I also used it to microphone a set of hometheater front speaker and it sounded great on my powered PA loudspeaker, which means this is a very dynamic and good for bunch of things microphone, since it's good for both vocals and instrument or electric guitar amp microphone. I got this outstanding microphone here at amazon.com, new for $69.99! Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quality mic, without braking the bank.
