«  Enfinnn live my batteries! »

Published on 03/01/11 at 05:14
Chinese ribbon microphone fig 8, see data sheet or Af thomann for details.
The pickups give a real impression of solidity weigh a good 400 gr each (feet a little attention to light) the rod bends but does not break through against the railing protects the tape but is deemed fragile.Ils are prewired XLR which is actually quite practical.


OVERALL OPINION

I tried to get a realistic sound for my battery lives taken typed jazz or rock "sound" (as opposed to catches close I realize that mike booth), and I'm not disappointed.
So I have a pair of these mics (repurchase OCCAZ to Nicolas Studio NG that I welcome the way) I set a couple separated at 30-40 cm above the ride and the crash of a gretsch set bebop
And waouhhh! Surprise!
I just made this little test on returning the 2 mics in Zoom H4 with the gain of the microphones on the maximum position, and frankly it's bluffing there's a real living with her just down the need for barrels and bass drum, cymbals and especially lively, much more muted, less flashy and detailed with my Oktava mk012 and thus ultimately more realistic.
I also feel that this type of microphone has better transient and returns the best move the natural dynamics of a battery live in equalize a little behind, we really brings his catch to the historic Blue Note!
Obviously all this requires a well-tuned kit and a piece that sounds a minimum because the directivity of this microphone in 8 actually takes a lot of atmosphere and thus the color of the room.
What kiff! I can just imagine the result with ROYER or EAR, but this is not the same budget!
