Red5Audio RV6 is a budget, Chinese-made, large diaphragm condenser mic, suitable for vocals, acoustic & electric guitar, (cab mic-ing & ambient cab mic-ing), drum overheads or whatever.

This is total budget territory at only Ł45.00 GBP, so let's not expect the earth from this baby, what we'll get hopefully is a nice sounding clean non-brittle sound... Checkout the video review for the mic package, build etc, and here's the spec's below - Audio examples of the mic will be added soom.

Added this last night to get something down as a starter - more demo's to come - There's a bit of hiss cos i had a PC near the mic in the room, and the room itself with untreated plastered bare walls was a tad boomy in the midranges for the guitar which was an old Hohner spanish with ancient strings and an aweful action, and please add many years of NOT playing spanish acoustic, ouch!.. my fingers!... lol - Anyways i like the way the mic emphasises slightly the spanish tone and woodyness of the guitar - I Recorded this one thru a Joe Meek VC3 using all Red5audio Leads (XLR to the Joe Meek & the 1/4" jack-to-jack from the Joe Meek to the E-mu 1829m Line in front Left), into Logic - No compression or fx on record - Added a dash of RCL compression on mix, a tad of platignumverb and a smidgen of enhancer on the final BUS out to 'air' it a touch more cos the strings were a bit flat. Drums are NI Battery Jazz kit samples.

More audio to come which will be a large gibson j200 jumbo size steel string which is having a new nut right now, and some vocals.
