  zeetoon's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Unreliable"

  Characteristics

  Micro which I intended to singing ... very good at first.

  Overall Opinion

  Used for 7/8 years, this is my first micro "static". I made some very good catches of voice, until it emits a constant buzz, cracks, plops and other unwelcome noises. Therefore unusable for some time, it is possible a repair on this type of pickups? I think more for the same cost to buy a AKG or Sennheiser microphone ...

  Furt's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Large dual-diaphragm condenser microphone made in China.
  
  Everything is there: filter, pad, 3 directional (cardio, omni, at 8), suspension, windscreen, bag.
  
  The beast is impressive in size and weight.
  
  Manufacturing seems neat.

  Overall Opinion

  When they arrived on the market, the Studio Projects have been acclaimed by some American engineers who were as good as the Neumann U87 (it's amazing the number of microphones 100 balls that are as good as the U87) . To believe that the sound engineer then had the m .... in the ears or had been paid to write this.
  
  
  
  Indeed, the C3 is, given its price, a good microphone. But in terms of quality, it is far behind the Neumann (even the TLM 103), AKG 414, and even some Oktava.
  
  
  
  First, the sound seems fine because the mediums are present, and then, searching, there is a light veil cottony, treble a little harsh, short, one of a questionable uniformity and without personality.
  
  This is especially evident on the female voices that tend to mute, the wind instruments like the sound it hardens. Do not talk about it completely distorts the harp.
  
  It may be misled on some Japanese pianos for whom it will strengthen the serious deficiencies and to some nylon string guitars.
  
  
  
  It represented a microphone that, initially, a quality / price. Since it was exceeded in this area including SE Electronics.

  Characteristics

  Micro impeccable tt which requires finesse or something delicate like a record cybale, voice or acoustic guitar

  Overall Opinion

  Used for 5 months with no means of comparison, rather demanding in nature and have been bleuf when a recording of the voice! No uncompressed audio sounds already very profesional
  
  I sold it for personal reasons but I think it's a mic you can keep for life because it can be absolutely tt ..... I realis sound effects larger than life!
  
  The report qual / price is remarkable

  yann70's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  APRS doing some laps in the shops of the capital, sounding a little vendors on the purchase of a micro budget not expensive, even prohibitive (Newman and co exclude it!), I suggest the brand studio project. Comes straight from China, it seems, in the process of flooding the market by the quality of products sold.
  
  
  
  I am back home, his eyes shining with my C3 when even bought 475 euros.
  
  And the great dsillusion!
  
  But I told the salesman even a microphone when voice directions taken with a grain especially warm and round, but capable of being Polivalente, namely taking out a few of saturated guitar amp, as a micro mood or so in direct occasionally.

  Overall Opinion

  No, really I do not t excited about the product. The sound is clear and certainly prcis, but it is ultra metal and lack of personality normment. When it costs a vote taken, it does DGIG anything, from a flopped IDE that runs through the mind know how to live what we are in the process of listen
  
  
  
  In short I changed my IDE to find a dpart Rode NT 2000. Features and Mrs. same basic function (omni, cardode in eight, and high pass-10dB gain) and 100 euros cheaper but I assure you that the it is really another dimension . Warmth, personality quality of manufacture (I could not remove the XLR on the C3!) Rode the almost two times heavier in short, that happiness with me.
  
  The C3 is a good microphone, but for him and those looking for a micro pluttmtal and no personality (can be more easily treated derrire).
  
  I also think that the margins of distributors and dealers, are more important on these new products on the values ​​SRES and dj Rode as well established. In short is it just a commercial hypocrisy? I felt like that.

  zédlamix's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Micro with 3 polarity and a-10dB pad and 150Hz low-cut has I believe
  
  useful for making any

  Overall Opinion

  I used the last 3 months (taken voice only)
  
  j APREC its sound, thanks to its variable polarity Polivalente
  
  I find that it has a low output despite the preamps on my sound card (Hoontech DSP2000) therefore provide a good preamp behind
  
  j I have compared a audix and bpm and qualitprix Nothing to say
  
  over time I do it again the same choices I think also hesitate to take even a second story of a couple having a stereo

  Patotripack's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  - Micro capacitors three polarities: omni - by 8 - cardioid
  
  
  
  - For everything, guitar, vocals, sound diverse and varied ... formidable couple

  Overall Opinion

  I use it for two weeks is an incredible micro.
  
  
  
  It is rather neutral but highly accurate means really everything with him, the slightest sound, even from sources which we do not pay attention before setting gains. Obviously, it is not so hot
  
  the TB1 of the same brand, but to tell you, with these two mics I was also able to perform miracles ... recording the voice of a singer at the base not very musical to make it more " Silky, "softer and more importantly, allow a decision much more flexible post-processing (compression, reverb ...), I ordered online soundsense.co.uk € 350 instead of 600 € in France, the once I took two.
  
  My great regret is not being able to compare it to the Neumann 87, everyone says they are worth .... to check ...
  
  It's a personal opinion, I prefer the C3 Neumann TLM103 and RODE NT2.
  
  Finally I would recommend a preamp quality that really makes the difference.
