« Not expensive and not bad »

Published on 07/01/11 at 02:38
Versatile: vocals, wind instruments (flute, etc.)
Condenser mic.

OVERALL OPINION

How long have you been using it?
A couple of years, I think. I do electronic music so I process the recordings quite a bit. In general, though, the sound is quite all right.

Did you try any of other models before buying this one?
Much more expensive mics ($400-$650) at some friends'. I have a Line6 UX2, so I record with POD FARM (noise gate, EQ, preamp etc). It's quite all right

Which feature do you like the most / the least?
I think that, for the price, it's a mic that works rather well.

However, it all depends on the source:
Spoken and sung vocals = very good
Flute, ocarina, harmonica, didgeridoo, thunder sheet, "exotic" percussions = also very good (but pay attention because it doesn't capture low frequencies very well).

Broadly speaking, it's a good mic for all instruments that don't require a specific mic.
For example, it's not the best mic for acoustic guitar, but that's normal.
