«  To save live »

I used it mainly hypercardioid condenser microphone for recording live classical music and opera. I used this mic for three years and I always recorded distance of 2 to 4 m voice and acoustic instruments like violin, viola and flute, pipe organ and piano always with fairly satisfactory results.

OVERALL OPINION

I have experienced so far the AKG C1000S, the CAD M177 and versatile performance, the NT3, the Behringer B2 Pro and MXL v67g the latter being more effective for voice.

For - serious intensity even at a distance exceeding 3m. In making her a little extra distance is a well-rounded sound and whose sudden changes in intensity are amortized flexibility. A lot of presence and gain.

Cons - A treble often aggressive short especially for a large voice. The positioning of the microphone is sensitive because it détimbre easily. It lacks sharpness and filter for the voice. The NT3 is quite colorful as its positioning. It is less flexible, less transparent and the opposite of the AKG C1000 is more balanced.

In summary:

A microphone for sound recording background vocals for distance and near for some live acoustic instruments like guitar and violin, but less suitable for solo voice.
