OVERALL OPINION

How long have you use it?
A year and a half singing mostly.
For making sound of acoustic instruments occasionally.

Have you tried many other models before buying it?
No this is my first condenser microphone.

What is the particular feature you like best and least?
The +:
- Ultra sensitive.
- Clear sound in the treble and bass too poorly defined.
- Great suspension with elastic parts.
- Silent rest.
The -:
- Heavy and bulky.
- The input range. It takes a string of flattering downstream processing to get something good.
- Do not cash large acoustic pressures.

How would you rate the quality / price?
Good quality / price ratio. Without further.
Very good for a first home purchase.

With experience, you do again this choice?
Before, yes for singing. Now much less.
I recently bought a Neumann TLM127 and there is no photo. This is the day and night. Neumann makes a SLAP, and not a little careful not slap, but a tamper pif.
That said, this is not the same budget.

I would use for overhead Z3300a instead or in addition.

I put 6 - Average

Having worked at the former importer of the brand (Audioland), I knew quite well the range. Across all models, the noise footprint is. We like it or not. In any case, as with any mics, the Z3300A does not fit everyone in singing. The Se Electronics are not micro-neutral and do not produce a dull sound. The sound is brilliant. It may be aggressive if planted out some amps, but I like him in return in addition to SM57. If I need extra shine without going through an EQ, I add a little signal from the Z3300A, if I make a crossover needs. Briefly, after each of these methods of recovery, there are infinity. Regarding the presence of sound, I find that all microphones To make an interesting sound and workable, but a little lacking in presence, body and, in my humble opinion, probably requires more experience to the mix than other micro that provide a full and very present.

OVERALL OPINION

How long you use it? I bought it 6 months ago or so.

How would you rate the quality / price? very good

With experience, you do again this choice? Yes, but to complete my park (very small at the moment because I have a SM57, SM58 and Z3300A), my neighbor could be a Audio Technica, Shure or Neumann, these three brands ultimately remains to be defined model or models, because I do not sing myself, so everything will depend on the voice of the person with whom I would work.

We have used the SE Electronics Z3300 A microphone several times over the last few years and liked it so much. But not long after we started using it I purchased the PR35 wireless head to replaced my Shure 87A head on my wireless. I sold my Neumann KMS 105; which is a very good high qualify condenser microphone. This is what I now sing with. I'm a high tenor, I sing 3 full octaves. The SE Electronics Z3300 A is the first microphone that allows me to clearly hear by whole voice when singing. Whether you're a singer or a screamer, if you enjoy singing this is the mic for you. I had a couple of questions, so I emailed Bob Heil at Heil Sound and he answered my questions personally. See if you can do that with the other Microphone manufacturers.

With the gain turned up there was a crispness and high-end attack that seemed to help me find my voice i knew this was the path i should have followed ..then...it took a dump on me. Started cutting out. knew it was time to invest in something that would allow me to articulate my sound. It also used 3 Polar pattern.


OVERALL OPINION

Overall, I am very glad we chose to use this mic for several recordings, it has made our mixes sound great without a lot of effort on the engineer’s part and its been a joy to use every chance i get now. The low end cut off switch is an interesting addition. The band I am in had been smiling as well I have clarity texturing. So when I soften the end characteristics of a lyrical line..in to a soft vibrato. It all is present not lost in the mix. The mike cuts thru...and its true joy. Look if your after a sound. And singing is your thing. give this one a try

Micro transistor Static Class A.
Microphone for the studio, versatile (vocals and instruments)

OVERALL OPINION

I acquris this micro there is only one week and I tried IMMEDIATE: This microphone is really not bad! I shall say that my opinion is based primarily on making his voice for singing.

I tried it myself vocally and I was able to realize that it accurately reflected the transition with the release of its 1 prcis.l 'attnuateur and selectable low cut on the body of microphone used to select the grain you want to voice (in the case of a very serious voice can be chosen to keep the stamp and rsonnance, or keep only the attack and the c t aggressive).

The only two default of this microphone is that he can be a micro prferera lamp that will add more heat and the voice will be cheaper (the Studio Projects TB1 from home for example!), And his senbilit remains a bit weak given the sound reproduction of the micro trs good (my opinion, only my opinion!).

In conclusion, this microphone is trs good on the vocal and well worth the prix.Munissez you, however, a sound card and a compressor to meet your paufiner making his voice.

Static for the song and omni directional instruments.3, cardio, at 8, -10 db pad and bas.C Cup is a big microphone that is impressive, solid metal briefcase, Neumann style spider suspension.

OVERALL OPINION

1 week, it's a great vocal microphone it blew me away I had already listened to another studio, he served for the last vx lead Ismael Lo ...
I already have several mics songs: U87, C414, TB1, Apex 460, and frankly for decision-voice that I made last week he is in second position in the first or even tied with Neumann, I even is taken of witnesses alternating voices and U87 will take on the same voice, I'd have to replay solo but I think it will not be easy to differentiate ...
Excellent value for money, yes I would do this choice.
When I have more perspective, I will modify this post if necessary.

In terms of its characteristics, it must be said that there is everything you need, attenuator, low pass, and 3-position directional, making it very versatile mic. otherwise it's solid mechanically speaking, it's beautiful and imposing ...

OVERALL OPINION

Bought to replace a CS450 Tbone taken for votes, either connected to a preamp TL Audio 5050 is a JOEMEEK OnQ, it must be said that there is no photo.

if it is confined to the intelligibility of the voice, in this case the Tbone is not that bad, for against, if we go into detail, it is not the same world, the sound is detailed, a linear behavior and balanced no overload at the bottom of the spectrum, and that's especially what the big difference not aggressive at the top of the spectrum. no more hissing that we picked up with Tbone. short microphone ideal for a home studio, a reasonable price for the beautiful sound.

we are still not the same as a microphone to € 2000 in terms of quality, the sound is very very typical Chinese crystal, but without the excessive low-end microphones.

frankly if you end up like me in the case of choosing a microphone at a reasonable price without ending up with a lower quality of daisies, then this is perfect micro a good compromise.

difficult to find fault, it is certainly more expensive than Tbone or studio projects, but frankly nothing to be made in the sense that there is a sharp work behind.

for semi-newbies sound like me, it is true that initially the difference between the micro and the cheapest Tbone, do not jump to the ear, or notes that can be seen in Forums, gender Tbone, neumann no difference! It always puzzled me, but since I could hear the difference between a Tbone, a Studio project an SE and a neumann, and I exercised my ear, bha there's no photo, there is a difference (in price too), and it actually appears on your sound recording ... Although sometimes it is so important details but for the ear and the final mix ... then the price difference is worth it these details, it is necessarily based on your budget and your expectations, I chose the compromise, and this microphone.

Static micro transistors.
3 polar patterns, omni, cardio and eight.
Cut down (120 or 160Hz I do not know) and 10dB attenuator.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 years and I've used a lot of other mics (M149, U89, 414, 4050, MC834 ...). I find it quite versatile, although most of the voices, as different instruments. Small defect, its size, though to impress, but not necessarily practical when multiple microphone sources.
Very good value for money, especially a suspension of quality at this price is rare. I do it again this election.
