Shure SCL4

6 months of use

- What is the specific feature you like best, the least?

it is an ear monitor, so the sound with the noise isolation. Very handy if you like live, but not dB to match. this version gives me mixed feeling I had of E2 (SCL2 now call) before a. the version of "SCL" are less expensive than "E" versions, I will speak briefly of the differences between the two:

sleeves: into the "E", I had 3 pairs of silicone hard and 3 pairs foam cylinder dimensions Different. silicones n'taient not very comfortable but it was silent and very good insulation. I used them often in session can. mosses were more delicately promising R & D but much more comfortable, even when silent isolation intressant, except that on me, has slipped a bit. Another worry is that they mess so it must often buy ... used in concert ...
in the "SCL": a pair of triple fins, 1 pair foam cylinder, 3 pairs of hard foam warhead shape and 3 pairs in all soft silicone nose shape too. the fins do not fit me, too bad! the pair foam cylinder either, too big, no choice of size, shame! silicones, too soft, not a wish, average insulation, use with the iPod, too bad! remains as rigid foams. not bad at beginners comfortable, easy place, but quickly pulls the ear canal. insulation is not bad, they get dirty a little ... In short, despite a little more comfort, I feel the need to mold

cable: about the "E", the cable was rather large and somewhat inflexible, but suddenly tough enough on the SCL, it is thinner and flexible. the blow: first week of use, cable once ... gnreusement replaced by my supplier ... thank you! the cable is not remplaable, one must buy if not rparable.

Conclusion: a little more comfort, but I think longevity less than the former models. transducers does not change.
ps: I also jack adapter and cleaning loop.
Returning to SCL4: for my part, use and studio scene. The sound is fine, the bass is more presents than E2, but I think it was somewhat lacking, especially live. a 2nd transducer lack a little. implantation of the transducer cable is not very well thought out it's hard to go around the ear without moving the Earphone duct. I use it with a transmitter dBtechnologies. I'm comfortable, not too worried.

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?

E2 I had before. larger, also Lger (all plastic, while the 4 to the metal, more robust but heavier) the less specific on his silent, less dynamic and less low frequencies, for I felt really low too tight.

- How do you report qualitprix?

I did not pay very much, it says, competitors offer dual-driver that price, but I have not heard what was giving. For my part, I seek leave to correct the neutrality down if necessary. For me it works well as a.

- With the exprience, you do again this election? ...

the choice of ear monitor, yes, a shure, probably yes today, but the worry is the same everywhere: I please shure there tomorrow??
