All user reviews of 4/5 for the Apex Electronics 435

The Apex 435 is an omni only version of the regular Mouse condenser microphone. I've used both of these mics, but mostly this version. The mic, obviously, has an omni directional polar pick up pattern and will gather frequencies in the range from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. The mic also has a built in mic stand adapter on it's underside.


OVERALL OPINION

The Apex 435 is up there as one of the best room microphones I've ever used. It's perfect for this applications because it is indeed omni directional and will pick up sound from all angles. This helps to capture all sorts of reflections and really gives you a nice a roomy sound, even when you're using it in a small room. One of the producers that I work with frequently has a set of these and he uses them exclusively as room mics and I really can't say that I blame him based on the results. I honestly haven't used the microphone for much more than this. However, I have used the regular Apex 435 , which I believe is the same exact microphone in a cardioids pick up pattern, and that's a great mic for vocals and other things, so it's possible that this is just as good for similar applications. However, due to it's omni directional pick up pattern, which isn't adjustable, it's not surprising that you'll see this version of the mic mostly used for room mics and other applications where you want sound from all sides. This does limit it's capabilities a bit, so if you're looking for an all purpose condenser, it's probably a safer bet to go with the the cardioids version of the Mouse. Having said that, these are excellent mics for what they are and should definitely be checked out if you're looking for a pair of stationary rooms mics!

The Apex 435 has been an absolute pleasure to work with. Our church owns 4 and has used them for everything from miking the piano (which we don't do anymore) to miking women's ensemble to children's choir. We've been amazed how one mic can project 8 women. These mics work well with the stereo mic clip too. The 435’s give you a true acoustic drum sound and even more importantly when EQing them on an analog board, you can easily separate cymbals, toms and snare to give your mix an outstanding sound. You may never close mic again.


OVERALL OPINION


We use the Apex 435 frequently on Acoustic Guitars and cymbals, usually in stereo with an AKG C414B. Alone, the microphone records my acoustic guitar brilliantly, and it also serves as a great overhead drum mic, and it's great for cymbals (recording or live sound). It would probably sound good on vocals, but I've never used it for that. This is a high quality mic from a company that many of us have not heard from. But they create a nice product, take the time and read up on some of the reviews for this mic you wont be disappointed you will want to invest your money in Apex. Very clean, crisp sounding mic that doesn’t pick up a lot of background noise which is important because most of us don’t always have an official studio to go record at, we usually record on the go from home. This will give you the best “home recording” quality that you can achieve for a reasonable price. The price of this mic isn’t expensive at all, the church has several of them and they are looking to get more. that’s just how well they work! Great, fast transient response, this mic is unlike a lot of other mics that are out on the market in today’s competitive music gear world.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 1 month.
its amazing (for the price), requires a good preamp. A little aggressive at the top of the spectrum.
Amazing value for money, the savings were made on the exterior finish, and the attenuator, which is right inside the mic (you must unscrew the body to access the switch (!)).
Parcontre components seem good, and the membrane is golden.
for now I am very happy with my choice for the price it is clearly interesting, is not a TLM 103 or other is the microphone that he must choose if you are not too of money and you want to get a very good record in home studio of voice, percussion, brass and acoustic instruments.

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using since 

I work with SM58, AT2020, Rode NT2A

Tripod adapter to it (the clip) which is a major asset in its use

Moreover, the price/quality ratio is more than perfect ....
I will make this choice again with the need for a portable studio or for model with minimum acceptable quality
It is obvious that a AKG 420, one at 4050, or 2000 and the Rode NT2A rode are above it 
but for a home studio enthusiast or for a newbie and an mc who wants to work without ruining what it has done

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 1 year and a half already in my home studio in Senegal.
I use it for rapping, singing and lots of acoustic instruments (guitar, kora, percussion, traditional instrument)
This is my first studio microphone.
I use a samson c valve preamp.
I find this mic very different depending on the vocals recorded.
Unpleasant to catch hip hop edgy but fun for choirs or female vocals. 
Very sensitive microphone.
The + is for real acoustic instruments.  I am very satisfied with its rendering with a traditional guitar or kora (ngoni khalam ...) is quite impressive for the price of this mic.
Even for Percussion by finding the proper placement and setting it gives good results very nice.
I give it 9 stars for the instrument but 6 for vocals.
At this price the AC is definitely worth a versatile mic, but to record vocals, I would advise other mics.
With experience, I'll buy this microphone for its low price but I regret my decision to purchase this for my vocal takes, I prefer to use my good old Shure SM58.
