OVERALL OPINION

I use it for about 2 years and intensively for 6 months with the opening of my studio.

What I love about this mic is its sensitivity course you less than a dynamic force, though with only two microphones "studio based", the other being a pro Behringer b1, my choice was made quickly taken for the sound!
Anyway I will not dwell on the German star,
what I mean is that I can push the apex to its limits.
Let me explain:

Acquisition of a guitar amp, resulting in a sound equalization cold enough or is not recommended for a better place and quality in the mix.
He also this to unpleasant bump at the top of the spectrum that I prefer to place it in a micro atmosphere transplanted guitar amp.

With an acoustic guitar is the same, I think it takes more place next box to retrieve the lack of heat which he suffers, after that it will still spend time on the equalizer.

Finally taking voice, its main function with me, micro fared pretty well, but it is difficult to control at distance.
It should of course be following each microphone and singer well find its placement but I blame him two things that are his famous bump or use a de-esser me is almost mandatory and fairly low output level.
So luckily I have a good preamp for this but must make a choice - either away from the singer's microphone to "escape" and sibilance too pronounced and push the preamp is venturing to recover the atmosphere too part
- Or on the contrary more approach, recover a semblance of heat (proximity effect) and have as atrocious voice sibilance ...
I let you imagine to put a female voice quite low and very dug in a mix quite busy ...
All that to say that it becomes more difficult to place a microphone in taking this complicated mix.
In this case you have to spend a lot of time on the EQ to get what we really want, but also have a good amp behind him.

In the end it is superb mic for the price I paid, it does not bring me out of breath, told me to mix more but I can now limits.
A good choice for a beginner who wants to try to catch her.
