NOTICE GLOBAL


More than a year I use the microphone.

I use it primarily for vocal recordings but I also often used for instrument jacks. (Acc guitar, ambiences, ets ...)

Sound: a ral heat and massive. An obvious coloration.
Despite a low net in a bas mdium excesses of serious and sometimes artificial highs, the microphone is very convincing.
It is also very sensitive to plosives, even with a antipop. This mic does not like aggression repurchase proximity. The rest is nickel.

Excellent on distant ambiences battery in instrument making, and of course voice.

Chinese lamp has a lot to imperfections. I replaced the latter by a lamp of my guitar amp, an era of Mullard NOS, and the difference is clear. The sound has gained in depth and definition.

For the rest, the low-cut do its job.

The microphone cable is very long, and it's very convenient.

For rsumer, it is a very good report quality and perfect will do its job if given him what he likes ... sweetness.

I'll gladly offer it to another pair.

good, see below

OVERALL OPINION

then I found this super micro (especially since I just bought a 60 euros! yes, he was the possessor did not work!)
Well, I come to speak of this micro because as I say I bought one for anything because the owner had problems with. when I received it I opened it and I tried many lamps (it is very easy compared to a lot of mics lamp change) then he does not like all the lights, I had many crunches with a lot of lights but two were great; December 1 AU7 our sound great but fairly level (of course since 12-7) and electro harmonix gold plated with 12 ax 7 pins. it is ultimately the one I left and returned with a very good.
voila, so if you have problems with this mic, consider changing the lamp ...

Tube microphone. Omni-directional cardio-8 with a notched selector that takes you gradually from omni to cardio, cardio at 8. We talk a lot but it is important!

OVERALL OPINION

I just bought it after seeing this video:

This is a comparison made by Audiofanzine. I listened in my studio and I said OK to Prodipe. While the U87 guard this little grain in the medium, Lamp Studio Pro in considerably closer! In any case, this is the sound I wanted. (Please Audiofanzine for this initiative!)

As for quality, I tested it on a Tascam DR-100 so as not to put too much value. No problems! Of course, we must give the gain, but really no complaints about the sound quality!
Value / unbeatable price. But without wishing to pub, it's a bit in the philosophy of the brand.

Another detail rarely given the microphone is supplied with a standard suspension and clamp, a foam (I tested it if it is not less than 15cm and they do not spit ...), diet electric sound cable (10 meters by eye). Found feeding on the pattern selector, a pad (-10dB) and a low-cut filter.

J "Use this microphone for voice only.

OVERALL OPINION

Let us make no mistake we are here in the pure low-cost Chinese manufacturing .. side and we are very reliable way to go.
I have this microwave for about 1 ½ years, I found a lot of input breath and sometimes 0dB position is created when a parasite affects the micro grid .. After return and reception of another micro Same story ..!
At first I thought it was because of a screw that was walking around in the hull (...)
Eventually he ended up let me go ..
And in terms of sound, all lack a lot of clarity and precision compared with a Neumann even entry-level ..
To avoid it!
