I like everything EV makes. Some things I like twice.
BTW, I've seen the Raven mic (and I think one other new one from EV) advertized in some industry rag lately, so I think it's real.
I like the EV "Blue Raven", but I notice the photo is a CAD drawing and not the real thing. Where's the cable connection point? In the back? On the stand thread? Anyway, I bet you'll see more retro designs as the "PT Cruiser" philosophy takes hold in the pro audio field.
HUZ might be interested in what else EV showed at NAB...
