«  Perfect for the stage »

Used in micro singing for the stage, and voice recording

OVERALL OPINION

Casual user of Shure SM58 and AKG D5 in the past, gave me this microphone for a year and a half, a vocal presence and dynamics largely outperforming the other microphones. I did not try to say every time what gear I bavais, (when it was not mine), but in any case the best I have experienced in the area semi-pro. Each time the microphone is aligned to other traditionally used on stage, he stands out so clearly and provides response and loyalty that singers stick it fast! : O).
You just learn to adjust the distance between the capsule and mouth to get the best.
Those familiar with SM tend to eat the screen at the beginning, which is not necessary with this microphone.
Smokers or other voice heavy breathing will learn to open your mouth a little more inspiring, if not, it's a bit asthmatic. O)
Very little feedback problems, and the possibility of significant length of cable with XLR.
It is obviously necessary to ensure that your configuration can deliver a 48V phantom power supply (your combo amp / deck / mixer, etc. ...).
I have not had to test the robustness of the microphone, because he never morfler. In my presence, at least! O)
In the studio, it's perfect cabin (isolated), and much less expensive than micro "professional" for a comparable result to me. Unless you make the lyrics or the one you are looking for ultra pure before treatment. But for a pop sound, I find the perfect result!
In short: if you make the scene, driven rock, hard or not, pop, variety, this microphone is very flattering and allow you to treat more your style and your vocal chords by offering presence without forcing, and not too expensive! It will just learn to control your distance to deliver her a line if you move a lot! : O)
