Microphone type:

Cardioid dynamic vocal microphone, rather dedicated to the scene.

Everything has been said over the decades on the microphone, however, I was invited to give an opinion.
To be used as a singer and sound engineer, I know the two sides of its use.

OVERALL OPINION

How long have you use it?
Two decades.

Have you tried many other models before buying it?
A bit of everything for 2 decades.




For a singer, it is a landmark, see a standard master. Indeed, it might not be the most accurate, or one that sounds in all circumstances, but it is undoubtedly that everyone know, that everyone know how to manage its proximity effect. It is a micro should not hesitate to attack to draw something, play with his chart and its effect prox depending on what you want to obtain. The hardest part with him is to figure out how to get a decent level of output without harming unintelligibility, and it is primarily the work of singer ...

At the console. I do not see what good can blame him. This is a pro tool, which is good in some circumstances, and if it is well controlled by the artist who uses only rarely pose problems. It has a big resistance to feedback, so can play with a high level of return (although not recommended, but everyone will want it well). I usually cut down to well back in the mix and not have an unpleasant effect Loudness will go eat on flowerbeds other instruments placed lower in the spectrum.

Studio, provide very good preamp to get something, and preference for a particular purpose, if not a tool to prefer more comfortable in this area.
