OVERALL OPINION

I tested it extensively for a few days and I'm pretty impressed with this microphone.

Tested on a snare drum and Pearl Virgil Donati RME preamp, the sound is fuller than that of the SM57 sounds once more he picked up on the midrange, a little more "poc". Here the sound is clear with lots of body and shine that is well out the harmonics of the snare. Potato and level it has little to envy in SM57.

On Mesa Boogie guitar amp, it is beautiful in its clear, again thanks to the brilliance, this magnitude being taken by the sound. With distortion it offers an attractive alternative to the SM57. It has a modern side, may be less rock n 'roll but a broader and more fuzz than a SM57. Really interesting on guitars tuned very serious with large distortion for example.

I have not tested the vote, making the studio that I only records with the static so I invite you to read the very fair notice of Muzak so below.

In short, in the words of Muzak is a very interesting alternative to classic but effective Shure SM57. I really enjoyed it and I bought the kit from Audix just to see what their other pickups are in the belly.

It is available around 120 euros which is very correct for a microphone of this quality, which in addition is built very solidly.
