AKG C 391 B

I bought one of these micro two years ago now and I am very satisfied!
It goes almost everywhere, I use it mainly on Charley, over head, folk guitar, piano (excellent) or taking mood on jazz band or choir.
This mic is relatively faithful to me and has so far never failed.
I bought a second ago just to make me a pair.
We just open it easily on the gain without it hanging for your little facade is well equalized and it does not generate a breath.
I particularly appreciate the robustness of this microphone, interchangeable capsules that make it very versatile.
I would do this choice without hesitation.

OVERALL OPINION

Great choice for the live, head over ........

Micro Systm part of the capacitor C 390 that includes among other things, a universal power module / SE 300B output and 8 microphone capsules Different.
The CK 91 capsule cardioid is used here, the curve is almost linear rponse with lgre back to about 5000Hz 12000Hz chutte and more brand 15000HZ 20000Hz .
A switch located on the body of the micro attenuates the output signal of 10 db or to filter frquences below 75 hz. One may regret not being able to do both at the same time.
Trs robust hardware, AKG traditional finish.
Attaching the capsule baonnette: very practical and reliable.

OVERALL OPINION

I use a couple of microphones for 5 years and I am extremely happy few dtails prs.
First of all if you want to make the most of it is better to plug them into a good prampli lamp preferences. The placement must be treated (this is in fact valid for all microphones).
The 391 B is, I think a micro too mconnu given its quality: the rac a suitable trs well the sound of wind instruments, but also recording the piano. In these areas, I find the suprieur Neumann KM 184. Price, 299 euros Thomann, and the possibility of a subsequent acqurir omni capsule for example make it attractive trs.

A must try!
