I've had my Apex 460 tube condenser mic for about three or four years and I've definitely been pretty pleased with the results I've gotten with this microphone considering what I paid for it. This is an interesting microphone because it is a Chinese made microphone that has been issued under a number of different brands and names over the last ...
- I've been using it fore one and a half years - I like the polar pattern switch - No cons. - I also tested a Rode NT1 and an AudioTeknica. - Incredible value for money - I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again.
I used the Apex for vocal recordings in my studio with an Onyx 1640 and Cubase 4. I made a blind test with other mics: SM57, SM58, Beta 58 and AKG C1000S. I made a dozen recordings and tried to be as objective as possible. Result: The Beta 58 is the best mic and the Apex the worse mic. I will sell it to someone more talented...
I bought it and tested it yesterday because I wanted to replace a low-quality Behringer. It was very cheap (same price range as the Behringer). The shop assistant told me it sounded much better. After trying it out I can say that the sound is clearer than the Behringer (mids and highs are not so damped) but the dynamic response is n...
I've been playing since 1986. Started with bass guitar, then acoustic and now electric, as well as vocals. I rented an AKG 3000B condenser mic from Long & McQuade for a short recording project, and I loved the acoustic guitar sound. Before my rental month was up, I picked up the Apex 430 for $130 Cdn. (The AKG was about $700 ...
I was ready to pickup a good mic for vocals and acoustic guitar. I went in today at lunch yesterday and the sales guy specifically showed me the Apex 435. I got the unit ar Long & McQuade for $70 CDN. It has a low pass taper off, so it cuts out a good deal of background rumble and vibrations. It also, being a cardioid condens...
I bought this mic at long and mcquade because i wanted an all purpose mic to mic amps and acoustic guitars, as well as vocals and overhead drums. I had originally intended on buying a shure sm-57, but when i got there the salesman I normally deal with told me that the apex 435 was hands down the best mic for the money. He also said lots of studi...
I bought this microphone off of Ebay for $90. I've seen some of them sell for quite a bit more. This microphone is great. It is well constructed, very sturdy, and comes with a nice shock mount. It is competitively priced, but there is no aspect of cheapness about it. It does a very good job of recording guitars, bass, vocals, a...
I use it for about 2 years and intensively for 6 months with the opening of my studio. What I love about this mic is its sensitivity course you less than a dynamic force, though with only two microphones "studio based", the other being a pro Behringer b1, my choice was made quickly taken for the sound! Anyway I will not dw...
Little used and sold quickly, it is for micro I think, to RECORDINGS chicken stuck in a barrel, after the vocals, it sounds cold, aggressive and has nasal side of what is done in rodes for a fistful of rubles and more . My opinion concerns only the vocals because I have not tried anything else. If it were to do again, I would buy chickens.
