Condenser microphone condenser. Double Diaphragm "large."
3 Directivity: Cardio, Omni, Figure 8.

Rather for making voice, and recovery of instruments.

Comes with case and suspension.

OVERALL OPINION

Used for two years.

I've used other models in the same price range, the more expensive too, also different static tube ... but often out of budjet I can devote to music.

Most:
+ With no breath.
+ A made more correct than the majority.
+ A definition of "awesome" sound for a user accustomed to dynamic mics (I remember the first time I rubbed two fingers against each other in front of a condenser microphone, with the result Daus DT770 headphones closed . In perfect silence, I felt like my ear roamed the surface of every cell of my fingers, in a flurry light, precise and supernatural!)
+ Accessories.
Efficiency + in some cases on men despite her nasal voice characteristics (4KHz bump), it is possible to make it more neutral ... and less type, which is quite surprising!
+ A possible interest in troubleshooting couple over-head battery, because their lack of effectiveness in heart can take when they are placed high enough in both cymbals, and toms charlet ... (I said in troubleshooting.)

The -:
- Rejection of inadequate cardiovascular sounds.
- Little difference between gross and omni cardio, with a lack of precision in high-volume listening situations.
- Lower mediums quite dull and without much life (that's more felt than anything else ...).
- Difficulties with the way women, often becoming aggressive with some subtle EQ.
- The acute parraître may well defined, but in reality rather aggressive than well defined.
- Alignment of the diaphragm with the outside of the capsule unsatisfactory. I compared 3, was not a parreil. There was one who had more than 30 ° with the axis of difference! In cardio, you think back a tool after placing the micro ... no luck, it's 30 degrees next! (Heureusemet there ear to correct ...)

The -:
- Very great difficulty in bringing out the voices of the rest of the mix. This is the main drawback of this microphone. Alone, it sounds more than good for its price and any bluffs unsophisticated user. on the other hand, in the mix, the voice is difficult to place, whether naturally or with a lot of equalization. It remains in the background, does not fit in line with the rest and becomes really understandable with a little volume and natural cuts, ultimately destabilizing the mix. It is this which leads me to a very divergent opinions of some users who advocate the store Neumann, Brauner & Co. ...

This microphone is excellent for home studio use ... but in my opinion does not blockbusters, and it is also not his goal! Do not compare what is comparable ...
Final year, the price / quality ratio, because that is essentially very interesting for users whose goal is the demo recording, acoustic instruments, vocal ensembles ... without the fuss (or in association).
There is no real competitor in this price range, and approximates more expensive microphones brands.

The use of the windscreen for a voice recording is not appropriate, in my opinion, because it does not allow placement of reference between the singer and mic ...
