Published on 10/28/14 at 08:49This is an electret condenser microphone, supplied with 48V Phantom. Fairly small membrane suspended and well protected by a fairly effective windscreen against wind noise and plosives (but not perfect). Low-cut two position attenuator.
OVERALL OPINION
This mic is full of qualities! It is perfect to get a clear and defined sound.
Much has already been said about this microphone, so I will not add too much, but I advise you to try on TOMS: it is simply the best micro toms I've ever seen all ranges combined price! And when to put one microphone between two toms, I can not imagine anything more to the latter.
There is almost no off-axis détimbre: sources from the sides and rear are attenuated but not distorted, then the repisse is clean and it changes a lot of things to the mix!
I stopped recording guitar amps with it. It is infinitely better than a SM57 but is not used in the same way: I have the right place in the axis of the speaker but between 40cm and 80cm apart. Thus the micro takes out the whole sound of the speaker, not just the few square inches of membrane that are just glued to the 57 to the gate of the amp. And it works great! Whereas with my other mics, it not and I preferred the old 57.
Tested on drums, it was beautiful! On vocals, it can do but live in the studio I will avoid at least look for a typed his FM radio on the speaking voice for example.
