Punchy bass with some bass body bloat. Pleasant, euphonic vocal timbre with good note body. Decent treble minus the lower/mid-treble dip.

Retains all the techs of the 622b with a more tamed bass presentation, overall arguably more balanced sounding than the 622b Bass transition to lower midrange may not work well for slower genres requiring a higher midbass shelf; less versatile
