cocabeille « for the price ... nothing to say »

bidirectional
Gain out of the microphone is low (normal on tape), it is important to use a good preamp.
OVERALL OPINION
It is two years since happiness guitarists groups with which I shoot.
I was looking for an alternative to the eternal 57 and 906 on a guitar amp, something more mellow a stick on the amps a lamp, but something that I could also take presta on tour.
At that price (one hundred nine euros) I tried left and have not been disappointed.
It's a bit of a cartoon strip: a very low round, very smooth, but not very accurate, high end a little back and very soft and in this case that's exactly what I asked.
Do not dream it's not a Royer.
But Royer 2000 euros in presta when we had the stuffing and it can take a 48v which will destroy directly, very little for me. A 100 euros the risk is tolerable.
Caution is still fragile and the conection (one meter cable coming out of the microwave) does not help at all.
I tried on a lot of use, but it really convinced me as the guitar amp (even in the studio, I use it in the center of the bowl with an off-axis C414).
In ambiance battery too lacking precision, this can give an effect says a little extra on vintage jazz batteries.
On bass amp I got nothing conclusive, do not compete with my little SM7, even when it seems satisfying solo, it's very hard to get into the mix.
Little help to recover from the bottom in addition to another microphone behind a perceived example.
On vocals (in the studio), that's a matter of taste and artistic choice, very flattering in the low and very soft, but not precise, however, it happens that I use it for voice or back choirs warmth is interesting in mixing a bit.
In short, it is far from a Swiss Army knife but that price makes it a very interesting color, it's certainly not the first investment to do but I'm very happy to have him in my park and I think buying another.
