    Dynamic microphone, especially helpful before a guitar amp or bass. Also used on the toms mediums.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 8 years (still).
    His glorious ancestor had much in session.
    He never let me down but it remains fairly typical, less versatile than a SM57 for example, which makes it an excellent complement.

    Very good value for money is of reinforced concrete.

    With experience, I would do this election, probably by buying his successor.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I prefer the 57 but still good in the studio I put two and attention to the phase in this case!

    OVERALL OPINION

    This mic is perfect to use an electric guitar and amp. Ideal for a rhythm guitar, it is very easy to place (move the cable in the strap of the amp) and do not require a microphone stand. We quickly forget it's there, it was the sound coming from the amp directly to the console.

    Small, quiet, very reliable, I prefer the SM57 for his sound, that presence and neutrality. Try also brass but I've never done!

    Dynamic microphone for guitar amps, I have not used for anything else.

    OVERALL OPINION

    3 years of proud service.
    I had before that good old SM57, but the record I like the 609 much more, ie more accurate, better response in the lower spectrum.
    240 nine parrait me too hard, looking at a site USA for example ...
    Micro robust, which does not need no mic stand, with experience, and if I ever let go one day, I rachèretais one without thinking!
    I put 8 / 10 for 240 ... is not kidding either!

    useful but not essential

    To the sound very effective to use an amp of instruments including bass guitar, the sound is fine for a microphone that much cash.
    A good choice of its position is important is a super cardioid that is taking place faster than SM 57

    OVERALL OPINION

    I'm using it since 2002 I have other mics
    Its directivity is more specific, the least is that it is not very versatile

    transplanted for the first guitar. what I want is the return before any of my sound, so it necessarily passes by a very good mic

    OVERALL OPINION

    no, I've never tested other micro front, a peculiarity little strange is the way with a front and back. value for money well if I would do the same choice, no, I think I change category to climb a little higher as

    This mic is a very low cost, very good sounding mic, but only for very specific applications. It is a side address dynamic mic by Sennheiser which was designed to be used to record loud, mid-heavy heavy sources. Obviously the major intents are going to be guitar cabinets and horn instruments. The pickup pattern on this mic is a supercardioid, so there is some very steep rejection of the sides and back on this mic. You will get a very defined picture of your source, which is great since you often want to have a very isolated sound for your guitar and horn tracks. It has a great SPL handling capability, so you can crank your amp all the way up without breaking this mic up. It doesn't ha…

    This mic is a very low cost, very good sounding mic, but only for very specific applications. It is a side address dynamic mic by Sennheiser which was designed to be used to record loud, mid-heavy heavy sources. Obviously the major intents are going to be guitar cabinets and horn instruments. The pickup pattern on this mic is a supercardioid, so there is some very steep rejection of the sides and back on this mic. You will get a very defined picture of your source, which is great since you often want to have a very isolated sound for your guitar and horn tracks. It has a great SPL handling capability, so you can crank your amp all the way up without breaking this mic up. It doesn't have a low-roll off or a switchable polar pattern. The output tends to be a little low, so it seems like a pad is not necessary even though this mic is meant to record loud events. You will connect this with an XLR cable and you don't need any phantom power. As for the sound, think of an SM57 but move the focus of that mic an octave lower. This mic is great for when you want guitars to sound powerful, because it really makes the mids and low mids sing. The SM57, which is usually the traditional guitar amp mainstay, can make isolated guitars sound a little hollow at times, whereas guitars through this mic are much more full.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I used this mic at a friend's home studio and was not expecting much, but I was very surprised at the great guitar tone we were able to get very quickly. Actually, the sound coming out of the amp itself was not nearly as nice as what came through the mic, so you could definitely argue that the frequency curve of the mic itself is like a nice EQ for electric guitars. It is only around $100, and it's very handy for guitar tracks and the occasional trumpet solo. I recommend checking it out.
