Kit 5 microphones (dynamic) Battery
OVERALL OPINION
The recently bought and tried it on a recording repeated.
Tried before?
On GC: Beta 52 (Good), AKG D112 (its round and 'soft', but ample), AKG D12, Beyer M88 (!), SM58 (anything ... well, it's better than nothing. though ...), Sennheiser MD21 (Omni) DPA 4061 (omni, amazing, but live ...)...
On CC: SM57 (of course), Beta 57, Revox M3500 (Beyer M201) (My favorite), ...
On Toms: E604 (Good), MD421 (TB, but the bulk !!!), SM57 ...
Feature:
Well balanced kit. D6 Outstanding (who likes a lot of 'Kick').
Q / P
Priced at U.S. (!): Excellent!
At the European price, well ... to see.
I'm happy, so I certainly referrer the same choice.
NB: There was lack of microphones and Charley OH (HH):
I use 2 Neumann KM184 OH and Audix VX5, bought secondhand, for Charley. The Neumann is excellent (no surprise), and also VX5 (with HPF on).
For CC, I prefer my old Revox M3500 (Beyer M201) on top.
The i5 is well below ... Although a bit heavy. I second flight a head because the head Shure Audix did not (I must see her again seriously).
Note about the clips for attaching microphones to the Toms / CC:
Practice and it works. +-Side addition to the obvious advantage of avoiding having feet across, is the flexibility of position adjustment.
On the CC, I put two clips: one for the M3500 and the other for the i5.
The i5 is comparable to the Beta 57 for this purpose.
I manage to put the M3500 although almost horizontally on the CC, and even adjust its horizontal position to prevent it takes wand.
The D2 and D4 are more bulky than the E604, but it does not interfere with the drummer ...
