SR20 - A real winner.

The SR20 is a fantastic all-around cardioid condenser microphone. A pair can yield VERY accurate results when paired with a good preamp.

The SR20 is an excellent choice for recording realistic sounding acoustic guitars and other acoustic stringed instruments. It handles transients superbly yet doesn't sound thin or harsh.

My only complaint is that the SR20 is considerably noisy to my ears compared to a Neumann KM184 or AKG C 451 B. For recording critically quiet passages, look at the Earthworks QTC Series microphones.

Hot Mic!

This is a great sounding mic. I recieved it a few weeks ago and have used it for four gigs and some home recording. It captures the soft passages with great detail and handles high volume singing with no distortion.
I unscrewed the windscreen, set it up for my acoustic guitar and recorded some of the best sounding guitar I have ever done in my home studio.
To perspective buyers I say buy it. To Earthworks I say great mic, but the pop filter seems rather delicate and the case is very cheap. Both are easily overcome by taking care of your stuff. My Senheisser 431 will go into retirement.
NOTE: Make sure your rig has full 48 volt phantom power. My Bose PAS has 24 volt and the mic will not work.

awesome!

I work about 300 gigs a year doing mainly jazz, brazilian, latin and occasionly some pop and r n'b. I have owned many mics in the past 10 years and I tend to use only high end, top quality gear. The M69 is the best mic I've ever owned. Period . Clear, open, faithful and detailed sound. Light and elegant design. The first one I had was stolen and I can't wait to get a new one. If I ever reach some sort of celebrity I'll ask earthworks to let me endorse this mic.
