Published on 12/23/10 at 13:31A truly universal mic.
OVERALL OPINION
I used it for several months now.
The sound is closer to my expectations than that the Rode NT1 I have been using until now.
Connected to my Yamaha i88X it is great.
But a few days ago, I heard a vibration noise on the input of its drum. Shaking (slightly) the microphone, it was a clatter of something badly connected. I hesitated and I removed because I'm on a project: no time to exchange it, too bad for the guarantee. It is an arc on the plastic capsule that vibrated as the screws were loose ...
I tightened the screws, and all is well again. Dismantling not obvious, I tore a wire of the cap ... I could resolder another thicker wire from a good microphone cable. Finally, everything works perfect.
