Not just for drums...

I use this on my bass cab live' the results will blow you away! Super articulate with amazing response, just try it out and you will see what I mean. Also great for overheads and other acoustic instruments.

Great All Around Mic

Originally I just liked the fact that it was a side address mic, the specs were good too. But this mic does bring out really good detail for the price. I've been using these on toms so far and they sound great. I'm going to try one on a snare. Also, the pad and high pass filters are a plus.

Amazing Mic

I bought one of these to mic a horn player and was blown away by its depth and overall sound. I since have bought two more and use them as overheads on a drum kit, acoustic guitar and all kinds of drums. Get at least one of these!

Something i left out

I forgot to mention that this mic is also amazing on snare drum. You can easily place it out of stick hitting range and get a great snare sound. Depending on the snare drum and player I've recently only been using this with no snare bottom mic.

Amazing small diaphragm mic

HI-hat, snare, acoustic guitar, cello, toms, overheads. If you need detail and a small profile mice this the way to go. I've never gotten a compliment on my hi-hat sound before using this mic......... which is a compliment right?

ORTF results

I use a pair for recording in ORTF for orchestra, concert band, and choral ensembles. Being cardioid it lacks the bottom end of an omni, as you would expect, but the complexities of loud passages with full percussion come through with great depth and openness. The form factor lends itself to AB or ORTF stereo. The published response curve does not show up sonically, as these seem spared of the typical harshness in the upper mids and low highs of a small condenser. The size helps with storage and for a low profile during concerts if those things matter. They handle loud transients very well, reminding me of more expensive mics. If I were a drummer, this would be my main road mic for snare and overheads. They are an optimal trade between quality and cost.
