RCF Studio & Home Studio

Thank god it came with a cable. Wiring is just like TS to XLR cable wiring: XLR pins 1+3 and joined together; which are the shield and pin 1 on the mic side. The shield doesn't have a pin on the mic side, it's soldered to the metal tab. Don't lose the little screw, as it makes a solid connection between the shielding cable and the body of the mic. XLR pin 2 is either pin 2 or 3 on the mic side (low-z or high-z connections). I tried both low-z and high-z. Low-z setting is 200 ohms and, at least for me, requires a cloud lifter gain booster for my mixers (which I don't have). So mine is set for high-z. I love the sound. Focuses on mids and highs; in my opinion great for live shows as most stage mics are SM-58s which have always been more bass friendly. Very punchy for live shows. I think this mic was built for broadcasting. It's hard to tell as there is zero info on this mic. This is quickly turning into my favorite mic for MCing on stage, singing, and podcasting.

The RCF Mytho 8 studio monitor is no doubt one of the best studio monitors one can find. All aspects of the product over exceed my expectations for a speaker in this price range. Though the Mytho isn’t cheap it out performs anything in its category. This is not surprising as do most of Rcf’s products. The mytho 8 is a very resolving speaker. It’s described as a sound periscope in Rcf’s words. The Mytho has a flat frequency response, high dynamic range, and low distortion. This is due to many different factors such as its solid aluminum cabinet, high quality class A/B amplifiers with linear power supply, presison ICC Rcf transducer and SEAS high frequency driver and the list goes on. Plus it’s got a high quality DSP on board to help set the speaker to your environment with the least effect from your room surroundings. After a lot of time with the Mytho 8 I have really fallen in love with their sound signature. Even though they are not supposed to be hi-Fi speakers, They have a warm and musical sound similar to what you expect from a well built class A/B amp but they are also very detailed and fast when it comes to low transients and dynamics. They represent perfect stereo images when set up properly and disappear like any good Hi-fi speaker would. They also show the smallest of details hidden in music as one would expect from a studio monitor. The Mytho is a wonderful balance between amazing Hi-fi speaker, and resolving studio monitor. I enjoy it as both. I would recommend it to an advanced recording engineer as well someone who just wants a good speaker and that’s a first for this product category.
