xbassman_K « Not the top for AKG »
Published on 01/03/12 at 09:36Condenser microphone medium / large diaphragm (1 inch). A high-pass 6 dB / Octave at 500 Hz, -10 dB pad 1. Cardioid. Building that exudes seriousness, comes with a plastic hanger with no hyper-beefy cons.
My use of the microphone: vocals and guitar folk taken.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for almost 10 years, basically I had bought especially for the reputation of that mark (I knew well, to be used in the studio, the C12 and 414). Not enough money at the time to pay me a 414, I was pulled over the C3000B! I must admit it was a mistake, so these two mics have nothing to do with each other!
This mic is quite aggressive in the midrange-treble, and suddenly it does not suit all the voices, the voices that said "no nose" accommodate them pretty good. The same applies to decision-folk guitar, too "hard" for my taste. In contrast, classical guitars pierce the mix with this microphone.
In the lower register, it's pretty decent without further because there is always that feeling of hardness due to present and mediums too aggressive.
It's a pretty good microphone that cash, so it's not bad on guitar amps, brass and cymbals. But again it's not really what it does best taken for such, but it's still acceptable.
Its price / quality ratio was not bad at the time of purchase (in 2002!), But today it is not the same thing, and I do not think I would buy. Some microphones are current Chinese 10 times better, the OS or the X1 example sE 2200 ... But, I continue to use it, however, because with experience, I learned to know him and I know his tinkering with the EQ. It always makes me service. A true "workhorse" as they say in English!
