Scene dynamic vocal microphone at the base, but not only! Very solid, proven since lonngtemps.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought two copies of this legendary microphone to a buddy that I had them at 55 € one (with stand and cable used). I never got used much, I am mostly recording occasionally, but I thought it was always nice to have the microphone at hand.
For the singing scene, no doubt, but it works where it interesting is that having recently done a comparison of miking guitar amps, and he did very well out well, especially in big mode distortion. At this level, I want to say that we should never have preconceived ideas about what a microphone is recording. Beware of the opinions of others and especially with regard to electric guitar sound. Between the guitar, amp, hp, microphone placement, sound card, the monitor system and of course personal taste, there may be many possible variations and what is good for one may be horrible for another. The best is still to be tested, but it is rarely possible under good conditions. Opinions are interesting to be sure not to make mistakes too, and when a microphone collects all the votes, we can be confident. But that does not mean that there is no other way possible.
