This mic is sold as a PA tuning accessory - anybody run into one of these? I wouldn't be tuning any PAs with it, but if it is really "flat" and "super-accurate" it seems like a good poor man's omni - ??? Or is it just an overpriced anal probe?

Please advise. Thank you in advance.

i keep ALMOST buying those when they come up on ebay. i think of them as the poor man's Earthworks... i've heard some not-crappy reviews of the Behringer one, but i forget where. biggest issue seems to be self-noise, as i recall.

i tape those cheap behringer mics to the floor, walls, or ride stand when recording drums... BOOM, CRASH, PING, SWOOSH.

You won't be sorry that you checked it out, very very good mics for very very little money. I use 1 in the middle of a drumkit plus a kick mic and it is a great sound.
