Ever Hear Of A Panasonic Mic?

Here's an interesting video that came from the always entertaining Joe The Flow blog. The video is a comparison between a Panasonic WM-777P mic and some contemporary stalwarts like an AKG 414EB, and Audio Technica AT-4033, and a good old Shure SM-57.

The Panasonic mic is clearly broken, but I find this video interesting because I've never even heard of it. I thought I was pretty educated about these things, but this one got away from me.
