OVERALL OPINION

I read the other reviews and I also did my tests on alto sax, tenor, clarinet, cymbals
Medium high-pitched voice and serious all in one its Jazz.
Firstly curve announced a bump on 12000 14000 and confirm that you can hear it.
Sometimes it's embarrassing it must equalize.
The alto it shines a little too much for my taste on tenor and clarinet is really very good.
On cymbals not bad but there are more suitable (not too small like membranes
cymbals that color too).
On high-pitched voice I copied Nancy Wilson Sunny (listening Emergency) in head voice.
And it very well: very precise, detailed, giving the hump of acute presence.
Much better than the beta 87 (on the same socket).
Medium of voice very well too.
on the other hand on bass (until I fa not really down below)
even if it remains the patch is less accurate than the beta 87.
The "o" less "o" and "a" less "a" ...
Sennheiser E855 and the surprise is more specific about the vowels in the bass voice. This is probably why Jamie Cullum and Harry Connick use the Beta and Norah Jones Neumann.
I used to club it works well but at this price ... it is likely to remain at the studio.
Small flat live orchestra he took over as the beta 87 that captures and less far
It has more noise body (rubbing and tapping) that the Beta 87. More noise
are issued around 800 Hz and therefore full of song as the Shure makes noises
equalisablent easily burn the low-pass.
Having said that Neumann did not experience the big scenes of microphones that can be Shure.
(I am not paid by Shure !!!).
Basically an excellent mic for women and the studio.
