Value For Money :
Poor
Stereo microphones set 2 records for a couple scenes in stereo. Electrostatic, phantom power and even power supply with batteries loaded!
I use it mainly in overheads battery, freeing up my pair of Neumann KM 185.
Also very good for recording acoustic guitars ...
OVERALL OPINION
Bought used two years ago to an acquaintance seeking Sennheiser MD 421 I do not know anything about this model. Professional musician and sound engineer for over 40 years, I had the chance to try, compare and buy most of my pickups for different studios, but I've never invested in a stereo system. I had the opportunity to test long ago a Neumann KU 100 dummy head, a marvel but really expensive ... (approx. € 9,000) ... Very deterrent despite the exceptional side.
The good points: There is plug in, turn on the ghost and find the best position, no doubt on the phase of the couple and go ...
No breath, an excellent level so good sensitivity. Rich, well detailed and very neutral.
Obviously, he was trying to do a thorough comparison with my pair of KM 185, for me the only relatively cheap solution so far to avoid the inevitable Schoeps.
Well, for sure I prefer the KM 185, it's normal, they are more hyper-cardio which changes the game but overall it's really stunning and it really takes a place with an acoustic hell to make a difference. For me, it's not the same sound, that's all, but it is no good and bad.
Bad points: The special cable but it's not a problem, as it looks fragile beware.
The size and weight: with the right foot, it goes.
Sensitivity to wind: Nothing special: Outside the slightest gust of wind and it's cooked. It's the same thing with my Zoom H4 since there is no protection and little supplied windscreen is just to point out that the external microphone is not the best choice
On the manufacturing front, good but could do better for the same price (after a moment of the game appears in the body of the microphone)
What I like in this micro: Its sound, its technical performance even compared to a high-end torque, ease of use, quality / price extreme .... Well it's not bad ...
With 2 years of experience in its use, I can say that is good in his field and he even belong in a park studio microphones right level. I also take almost a second, but new ...
