OVERALL OPINION

I bought this kit was released, I waited a long time before DPOS notice, because I wanted to try other micro and be sure it is not my battery that sounds bad.

Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
Before: no no.
APRS: I work with clubs so Beta52A benefits, beta91, AKG D112, SM57, beta98, E904, Oktava mk012, AKG C1000.

What is the particular feature you like best and least?

The best: the microphones oh not sound too bad: compared with overhead AT4040, is doing a not so bad. Work placement.

The least: The bass drum: it is pure crap, I insist. In rock, reggae, dub, electro, funk, metal etc, we seek a sound with the bass to vibrate the abdomen, and acute attack. For cons, the board of 250 500 Hz do not like it, but then at all. And micro is full of these frequencies. For me this is a peak frquences, which make it unusable, and then twisting the eq. A shit

Always the least: The Snare: Micro with a bump 250 Hz, can be INTERESTED, but in my case, where my skin typing is severe enough, it's pretty horrible. So I cut up to 200Hz. For the rest of the spectrum is not too bad.

Even the least: The tom: On a floor tom c'es really rotten! Unusable, except trigger.
Tom on acute cons is really not that bad. I do not trig same tom acute.

How do you report qualitprix?

Not good for the made in china with 3 microphones on a battery unusable classic rock.

Exprience with, you will do again this choice?

No, I strongly dcommande purchase. Ok I compared the big names, but the need arrter, these microphones mritent not support mdiatique and everything. It's low-end Chinese POINT! Never ssay kits T-bone, but at least I never had bad surprises with T-bone, so see!

I can send extracts, compared a beta 52 on kick and snare on a sm57. sent me a message.

5 dynamic, 3 electrets

OVERALL OPINION

I bought this kit about 6 months ago dmos to record with my band.
the case is robust, the microphones also. A micro lectret no longer works well, it puts crpitements (I put it too close to the hi-hat). for 300 you have 8 microphones, it was clear that will not sound like neumann, but working a little to the mix, there are ways to get something.

bass drum microphone is clearly wrong, a very steep slope above 100Hz, 150Hz trsdrangeante a bump. I ran to the microphone beginners to the place o hits the bat, I had that kick, not a qt low, now I bow down to 30, I r cupra a little more, I will not deny that you have good intrt Plug'ins a waves renaissance bass or equivalent may s'avrer essential.

my snare does not sound very well, so I have a little trouble to make it sound mix, but I have the same problem with my sm57. there is very little diffrence between the snare drum microphone kit and an sm57, a person generally the same (at least for the snare)

other microphones Plutt sound good, the toms have a round, well overheads transcribes the cymbals but lacks a bit of potato.

for 300 you have 8 microphones that do their work, neither more nor less, do not bother to compare high-end mics, it would be ridiculous. is very good for beginners in the audio recording.

5 dynamic mics, 3 electret mics

OVERALL OPINION

I bought this set six 6 months ago to record demo tapes with my band.
The carry case and mics are sturdy. One of the electret mics doesn't work properly anymore: it produces noise (perhaps I placed it too close to the hi-hat). Considering the price of this set of eight mics, I knew they wouldn't sound like Neumann mics. But they provide a decent result you can enhance during the mix.

The bass drum mic sounds really bad, it has a cut below 100 Hz and an unpleasant boost at 150 Hz. In the beginning, I directed the mic to the beater but the sound had no resonance, it captured only the attack. Now, I tilt it down at 30° and I get a bit more lows. However, you'll absolutely need good plug-ins (like Waves Renaissance Bass) to enhance the recording.

The sound of my snare is also not very good but the problem comes from the instrument, not from the mic (I have the same problem with a SM57). In fact, I notice almost no difference between an SM57 and the set mic on my snare.

The other mics sound pretty good: the toms sound round, the overheads faithfully capture the sound of my cymbals, even though they lack some punch.

For a nice price, you get eight mics that do their job quite well. Don't compare them with high-grade mics, it doesn't make sense! They are a very good solution for beginners.
