Condenser cardioid microphone and transistor with a low cut filter pad inside the capsule (super convenient)
I used it with an art tube mp to a Electro Harmonix tube. Result ok. Now I have an art mpa gold (same tubes) but not even tested it with this microphone ...
OVERALL OPINION
I used this microphone for less than 5 sound tracks taken.
It was my first static.
The dynamic is better than a SM58 or E830 but the frequency curve was not right for me, be it male or female voice. Hand mixing, it was simpler to leave a voice making the E630 with the apex 435.
That said, once the microphone is equalized, it passes and given the price (45 € used), we will not cry. Anyway, the sm58 is in my opinion to be avoided, whether the home studio or live.
Since I went on a studio project c1 which, like the 435 brings out the whistling, but what a presence! In any case, it is 2x more expensive, ok, but I got it at 90 € used for a microphone that is 220 € brand new.
To summarize, it is better to invest a little more because at 50 € it was a microphone that you will waste a lot of time trying to catch up with its flaws.
I will not repeat this choice but I can understand that a young person starting out is captivated: There is the suspension (to buy) an antipop filter is class! And to have gear that we find beautiful, it is also important.
