«  Excellent outsider »

A "real" studio mic "to do anything." I do not have that so I have not tried it on the piano, but whether taken vocal, acoustic guitar, small percussion, he is at ease. Directivities make multiple versatile.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it regularly for a year. It is a good outsider Brauner and Neumann. The sound is high class with air and feel very natural. Sometimes it does not ring on some voices (and then I take a Neumann or a Brauner), sometimes it's the opposite. But in absolute terms it is a very good mic. The finish is less "class" that German models, but noise, playing in the big leagues. To know that I replaced the lamp (a GE 6072 quite empty and very balanced) by NOS of the same brand (but triple mica, model "5 stars" makes a silky I was not on the other. Nevertheless, the character "lamp" is not a caricature of lower midrange emphasis: this mic sounds great, and for the price it is a bargain.
