Pros
People rave about the mic's pristine sound quality. While it doesn't necessarily color your sound in ways a vintage condenser and preamp would do, it allows you to impart your own touches on your recordings. The plug and play feature is well received by new users as well.

Given its premium positioning, you'd expect the Apogee MIC PLUS to provide excellent quality recordings and it does in spades. For people who want absolute pristine raw recording quality that makes mixing your track or podcast easier, the MIC PLUS is hard not to recommend, budget willing.
