All user reviews of 5/5 for the DiMarzio DP191 Air Classic Bridge

Used on a neck pickup RG721FM coupled with a 36th PAF in the bridge.
I intalled the bridge version for balance with the bridge pickup. I also used a Lag Rockline Metalmaster.

This mic is clear and warm, all the notes come out with class. The are hot are clear, precise and clacking, the dynamic is monstrous. This microphone allows expressive playing, and respects the violin of the instrument (the characteristics of microphones Air). In crunch or saturated the same qualities found in addition to the side singing / flute brings the degree of saturation. You can really address all styles of music.

It can not be much personality than others, like the Air Norton, SH1 or SH2, but for me it is one of the best microphones handle the market. A hidden secret in Dimarzio !!

This mic is aptly named. One could speak of a ventilated bam, albeit with an output level quite appreciable. It is quite versatile, but probably more shine in a modern and vintage amp. He loses (slightly) into heat, it gains in transcription of the attack, especially wholesale saturax. It will not be the best bang for its clear, cons, it will preserve your attack, biting a vintage bam, if you enjoy playing detune (C) and highly saturated. I found a small side Pearly Gates, but more powerful, punchy. I installed it on a Les Paul Florentine (half body) without regret. I keep fat, a good dynamic lead or rhythm, even saturated, and that's not too bad installation in clean. Personally, this is what I wanted, but I think many blame him a lack of personality, side of the coin.

In this micro dpart silent fate be mounted on a team of Japanese Start Floyd Rose. I finally changed my mind by installing it on an Ibanez RT650 team her, a Wilkinson vibrato. I associated this microphone a DP 190 in the neck position and HS2 center position.
The configuration of this set is almost perfect since the microphone output level is relatively well equilibrated. I did not split the microphone to keep a central output level homogne with the other two. (206mV, 90 mV and 226 mV).

Sound:

On the clean channel, this airbucker dlivre trs own sound, almost got me too. Many dive a bit tide, few prsence despite the lamps.
By the canal against a saturated gouache max. It is far from a Dirty Finger or Pearly Gates, but who takes the trouble to hack his rglages, the fact really. The sound is incredibly clean even with a strong dose of saturation. Harmonic whistle on their own and sustain endless so stay more than MODR on the use of reverb.
For shreders of all kinds and other furious six string players, it's fun carrment. Everything passes, sweep, lgato, tapping, each note rings clearly, what the top.
However, with careful management of the effects because, as rightly stated by the manufacturer, "this microphone picks up every nuance of your game." In other words, if you play rough, you will unfortunately with the sound.

Conclusion:

Trs good microphone, however, does not break down enough in the clear. I think it express its quintessence of a good scraper handle al trs see half a body. As you can see, a good violin is likely to make a difference.
As against saturation, say nothing, except that it must be
motivate play application.
Bought 75 euros for our cousins, the report qualitprix is ​​fairly good. J'enlve a point for the clear sound that sounds may be a little too jazz, at least on my guitar.
