I tried everything (methodical, noting every time) and I found the sound that kills.
I would add that all variants (except mistake on the entry level!), the sound is of extreme accuracy, unmatched fidelity and warm, just the trifle that flatters the extreme realism of these devices of the devil.
The advantage (which should be a duty for that product) is a mix on it is a mix of universal, with almost always the same colors found ...

SOUNDS

The dynamic is a chouille compressed, but the loyalty is to the rendezvous.

It is more expensive, but it is one of the best purchases I've made recently.
