Built for real work, sounds great

by Ethan from Salt Lake Area, UT
December 10, 2011
Music Background: Recording Hobbyist
I use this for recording trainings and it is fantastic. It brings out a great deal of clarity, detail, and nuance from my voice, making it great to listen to, and very engaging. Harsh? No. Smooth? No.... read more [+] Just right? Yes. This microphone is very ruggedly built. I feal like I could hammer nails with it.

The features it has are excellent, all the right parts: gain dial, monitor mix dial, heapdhone amp volume, headphone port, pad switch, bass rolloff switch. It also comes in a cool flight case that fits everything nicely.

Know that this is very "attack" sensitive, so if you dare use it for something unintended, like piano, then you will hear lots of "clacking" from its mechanical parts and initial hammer strike. Guitar is also weird on this thing. 5 stars because it's a vocal mic, and a dang good one. close [-]

Our Customers Say...

When it came time to start from scratch with the studio, I had a lot of questions. The Sales Engineers I've worked with are really friendly and patient, and the guidance they provided was invaluable; they basically helped build the studio.
