Davefrom NW Missouri May 15, 2012Music Background: Singer-songwriter Great All-Purpose MicrophoneI just purchased these last week to upgrade the Peavey microphones in my PA system, and spent the weekend A/B testing them against my MXL909 condensor that I use in recording.Although the AKG website recommends this microphone for back-up vocals and not lead vocals, I can say it does very well with lead vocals or vocals in harmony group settings [think the Lettermen, CSN, Kingston Trio, Statler Brothers, Oak Ridge Boys]. This also outperformed my MXL in recording. It produces a very clean even signal across it's frequency range. And because it is a dynamic microphone instead of a condensor , it doesn't require phantom power. I even borrowed a Shure SM58 to compare it with and it outperformed the SM58 for evenness of response and clean reproduction of sound. AKG has a well-earned rep for quality products at reasonable prices and this does not disappoint. I'd recommend them to anyone seeking a high quality dynamic microphone and doesn't have a lot of money to spend. Even if one does have the money for higher priced mics--I'd recommend these, and with the money saved, take the spouse or significant other out for an evening.

kaybeefrom nyc September 27, 2012Music Background: sound engineer, live location recordings Very UnderRated BARGAIN SOUNDIF this mic were 90 dollars, it can sell on merit of soundfor LIVE and RECORDING too ! we like it better than sm 57 or sm 58 for many situations. we have successfully recorded ( 2 feet away ! ) viola and violins and even brass and woodwinds with this thing ! VERY GOOD ALL ROUNDER and REALLY nice for female and male vocals too ! the akg D5 is even better...but after that, for example the akg d7, becomes diminishing returns, unless u got a really clean signal chain.... AKG is one of the best bargains out there... and it starts with this low price P 3 !!! u wont sell it , thats for sure, even if you got far more expensive mics, bec this mic has its place in warmth enjoy the music ! dont get toooo serious ! k |
