M-Audio Luna

Condenser microphone (FET) large capsule. Application amateur or pro studio.
Comes with suspension (you know how much it costs for a suspension Neuman Answer: the price of Luna full!) And beautiful fly. The finish is superb.

If I could, I would put a note of 11/10 for the presentation and finish!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 months especially for the song.
Amazing for the price of efficiency. It's really not worth paying 10 times.

I compared with 2 other microphones that I work with: the Neumann TLM 103 Rode NT3 and.

- The Luna has a sensitivity, a dynamic response equivalent to Neuman, with a breath nonexistent. It is really good. It is just slightly less accurate in the acute and tends to a slight distortion if he did capture a strong source nearby.

- Compared to the Rode (which is about the same price), it is more neutral (less flattering in the lower and upper medium) but also much more sensitive and quiet.

I use it mainly for the song because it is very musical (slight bump in the medium) where a warm and soft. It requires virtually no EQ Neuman unlike that produces too much treble and a cold voice.
Warning: if the singer moves away, the Luna quickly loses bass ...

I return to this opinion because after testing, I discovered a few errors:
- This is not the Neumann is too acute, but rather the M-Audio who lacks a bit.
- With its large capsule, it has a tendency to drool in front of a bass guitar classic example
- It is less accurate than the Neumann, but not easier to place
- There are a few blows from the Neuman but it's still very quiet anyway. You really have to gain fully realizing it.

I use it mainly for vocals and is specially made for that ... Come with case and shockmount. STUDY finish well look quite interesting but ugly but shockmount plutt ffective trs. Solid, simple and surprising!

OVERALL OPINION

Ingala sound for the price! Trs high sensitivity and good gain without introducing a breath (My audionumrique interface and the computer noisy opposite introduce them). Same with my pramplis can sound really but really warm! Srieusement like the microphone has been so low it's practically impossible! All goes well: low, medium and aige. As said by-cons Previous notice a little burr with classical and acoustic guitar but it is made mainly for the song (it has that ca is a large diaphragm) so that's all normal ... In terms of placement, I have not had a problem but it sr gnre That a computer that an audible noise will be loud asser capt ... So the background noise is usually of noise produced by lments am your string (pramps, console etc). Or just a continuous loud enough (computer fan, aeration) that our ear c 'is used but it captures our micro ... The Luna is wonderful ...

I use it mostly for voice.
It is a static micro transistor,
solid, good manufacturing, with its nice little padded case: he inspires confidence even before we did try.

OVERALL OPINION

I have since 2005. This is the first condenser microphone that I buy. What I like most is the quality of decision (vote) for a price so low (I can not remember exactly how many, around 200, certainly much less than the 780 announced by AF € .. .).
With experience, I do it again without hesitation that choice!
And this micro continue to serve me a long time, because to move to the top grade, will take a long Sousous, and a studio worthy of the name! (Thus still Sousous ...)
