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.
