Holds Its Own

I've had this mic for a little while now, and I really dig it. I've used it on Outside Kick, Acoustic and Electric Guitar, Mono Drum Room and Vocals, and it has preformed well on all. I have more expensive mics, but the Clarion definitely holds its own. I'm actually considering picking up another for stereo OH's. Really nice mic, can't beat it for price. Plus the variable patterns are always nice to have.

Welcome to the world of Big Boy Microphones

I brought this challenge to my SE Josh Sites:
I need a versatile multi pattern condenser mic that will blow me away.

Without hesitation, he pointed me straight at the Clarion. Not only does it meet those needs, but exceeds them in every way possible. When calling him back to rant and rave about the clarity and quality I'm getting from this gargantuan mic, Josh just laughed:
"Welcome to the world of Big Boy Microphones."

Awesome!

This Mic was recommended to be by Trent and everything he said about it was to the tee! Amazing sparkle in the high end with no hype. nice rumble in the lows. very good Mic for under 1000!

Great mic

I asked my Sweetwater rep, Paul Rowan to recommend a $800 condenser that would work well on female vocalists & rappers that would sound great thru a Focusrite Voicemaster, an SSL alpha channel or a UA LA-610. He suggested the Clarion 357 & the Mojave 201. I got the Clarion because it has more features, but the sound I get out of it thru my focusrite surpasses my expectations
