All user reviews for the Eagletone CM90

I use it only for home made singing.

OVERALL OPINION

Purchased BSTOCK there over a month, I came across the c .... when I tested. Aside from a bump in the high frequencies that interferes especially on "French" s, I find it rather well balanced singing. It flatters all the male and female voice and that is what tube sound I was looking for votes. 80 € I think that there is nothing that competes on the market so Q / P: 10 out of 10.
If you are looking for, like me, a microphone to record the song (contemporary music) buy this micro eyes closed.
I think make a small change on the preamp (see forum relamping CM90) and change the lamp.
If I had known, I would have made that choice earlier.

Studio microphone capsule lamp double wide membrane.
9 directional omni 8 possible via semi-cardioid, cardioid, super-cardioid, hyper-cardioid (and three missing, I can not name them)

A microphone suitable for close miking and medium-range studio for vocals and wind instruments (note the sound pressure if you play a brass instrument)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it in my apartment (home studio) to record my voice (deep bass). I also tried with my trumpet and my flute (away from the microphone!).

I suspend it high and upside down as it is often the singers (it requires the singer to stand straight).

This is a big headache for deep bass bit fortunate as to find a microphone, not to speak of flutists! There were indeed two difficult cases: a serious side are the lowest spectrum of most micro, the other a clean sound that brings out any distortion.

For here was a real serious large-diaphragm microphone: sound is round and warm, my voice is natural. I'd love to find an equivalent for the scene ...

Trial by fire is the flute unfortunately the test is inconclusive because I hear distortion in my recorder, but I guess that the micro deserves a good installation: sacrificing the preamp gain and the level of output, I have a very round sound without audible distortion.

I'm really happy with this microphone: I was attracted by the relative bandwidth / price and I do not expect to have such quality. At this price, this is madness!

If one day I need another mic for my home studio, I would take the same.

Everything is said in terms technique.Pas worth to say more so.
Just one small problem, the original lamp is used Chinese-made low-end enough I guess. I replaced with a 12AX7 Electro Harmonix H in (14 € on the net) and there ..... Miracle! Already, as such it really was not bad at all, but with this light, it looks to regain hearing. Highs are present without excess and cristalins, mellow bass to perfection: happiness!
Manipulation easy to do (just two Phillips screws to undo, operation carried out in two minutes with just a Phillips screwdriver). It says in passing that change the lamp is a breeze, (a lamp is not forever!)

OVERALL OPINION

I've had it three months and I recorded half an album with, especially for voice and decision-taking of wind instruments (music quality broadcat)

What good things to say: the only thing to review the suspension. Not great. But hey, it's frankly a detail in comparison with all the qualities of this little gem. Choice again without hesitation (why did I not done earlier elsewhere?).

OVERALL OPINION

Tests for a week on Saxophones (Alto and Baritone), compared with Apex 460 (Soprano, Alto and Tnor).
Homogne its clear and cohrent. Is more "modern" in terms of sound as 460. Dfine also more and more ar.
APRS, the gots and colors ...
Relamping possible, and easy on the CM90 couraging.

MODELS tests other than Apex 460 and CM90: T-BoneSCT2000 (original lamp).
Finally, if the product had been available before 460 I will have taken the place ...!
One of the static light the cheapest on the market! (€ 189)

Micro lamp was used on his rapping / or spoken

OVERALL OPINION

3 months after use with other mic (input range)
such as the AT2020 or the apex 435 or sm58
I see a marked improvement with the cm90:

namely that

track fits easily into the mix, more needs to spend hours to settle,

the sound of the voice is open, it manages good treble in the sense that it does not rot catch with whistling

I've already been there in the studio long aya (davout, small farmhouse in Marseille, and emi)

then I must say that this mic is good,
to own a small model
it is sufficient, I think that song it must of carton, because the sound is precise, clear and balanced (neither too sharp nor too low in)
I save time because more needs to iron plug 50 behind the outlet.

I want to say that depending on the color of sound, I often change microphone, a voice for AT2020 fine example ....... or mxl v67 for something warmer, low and rough,


from the previous review (
explaining that he finds no difference between her and sct400 cm90):

Me, its just the opposite, we must say that juser a class A preamp, which reveals the peculiarity of each microphone.

do so has put in a good preamp and you will not regret your 120 €

a good buy!

OVERALL OPINION

I just got it and I tried it in stride. it is a good microphone, transparent, well short. I will say that I think I've got a very good ear but I have not found a big difference with his little brother that I have the Eagleton 40 cm I think. suddenly I'm doing a test by connecting each on a path to a stereo recording. ben you will be surprised but I'm no différence.j 'I feel that the small cm 40 (which I find excellent) connected to a tube preamp tube art kind gives the same result.
I have a 3d prodipe sct I found excellent, shure, two t bone sct 400 and 40 cm Eagleton is a true copy of t bone.
I love the most, I have not even tried everything but the weight, value for their money ... the sound is clear, clean.
what I like least, I disassembled and is not really terrible, the support of the lamp is askew and finishing int minimum. I received it in his briefcase but beautiful place by the foam was torn.
Qual price report, I got right now in woodbrass for 105 euros with the foot, anti pop up and then the cable xlr at that price I figured I'll try so great value for money but at 180 euros it starts to really make money and the little brother with the same items in addition to costs 48 euros and just buy a tube preamp which can also be used for anything else.
I would do if this election? yes for that price is a good microphone.

I bought it secondhand and the economy was a Chinese 12AX7.
Itis sold in a briefcase with a good suspensio the PSU Bonette a foam and two XLR cables.

In fact u is micro woodbrass rebadge for the store and which is manufactured by ALCTRON is a priori model Alctron HST-11A. also sold under the brand APEX (460), Nady TCM-1150 ...
see references to: http://recordinghacks.com/microphones/Alctron/HST-11A

nine it costs € 190 a priori micro lamp for less.


OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 months, mostly for voice and later taken for acoustic guitars. I changed the 12AX7 Chinese gave her a little saturated and deaf by a lamp vintage RCA 12AY7 gives, in my humble opinion, much better so sweetest but with less level.

I used to be a T-BONE SC450 that had a good value in comparison but gave a much more metal, less natural sound somewhat "pinched" I do not know if the picture is telling.

The sound of the CM-90 appears less flattering a priori, but the outlet, there is no need equalizer, it sounds good without

Given the price level, I have nothing to reproach him, by removing I noticed that the build quality, not detracted top marmoset but hey, it works very well so why not.

Afficioados more for the mod, you may refer to many sites on the apex 460 as it is the meme.

I probably would do so this choice
