great sounding mic

great mic with a 'different' flavor and very smooth sound. great mic for male vocals of any kind- rap, pop, rock, etc. also works great on acoustic guitar, low toms, bass and kick. very up front, great proximity effect that lends itself to the sound, and needs very little e.q. to sound great. female vocals are not its strong point, though certainly usable. clean guitar sounds good, distorted guitar also not its strong point. overall, a great mic with many uses that will compliment most anyones mic cabinet.

Sheen 
by Anonymous from Catasauqua, PA, June 2005

This is my gloss mic. Whenever I want to get the sheen on a pop or R&B vocal, I reach for the Mouse. It's great on male vocalists, and really shines for "on the radio" type voiceover sounds. Its got a ton of bottom and a slightly hyped hi end. Not neutral by any means. But it is nowhere nearly as stabby or spitty as a 414TLII. Just use a big pop filter for this guy. It can blow out easy. Compared to the U87s I've recorded with, I'd say this is a good "substitute". The Mouse is a little warmer to my ears, but that's just me. Great company, too. They really care about talking to customers personally.
