Customer Reviewsfrom Chesterfield, Mi March 13, 2009 Music Background: Recording Engineer, Producer, Studio Owner, Musican Clear to a fault!This is an excellent mic for singers who have more than complete control of their voice. It is also excellent for acoustic instrument recording. However, it is so clear that it will make an average singer sound worse than they are and you can get better mics (like a used Oktava MK-319) for much less and sound better in these cases. Certainly it is the top of the line mic when recording top of the line musicians and singers but it is too perfect for average performers.

from Boston, MA October 1, 2004 painted by a masterLike a fine, classic painting, this mic has been copied, even forged especially lately. The magic of this baby is in the details. My voice-overs never sound better than through a U-87 and I've been recorded through them all. I love my C-1 for the project studio and we use it for production plenty but it aint a Neuman. Of course it also costs 10 times less. When I see this baby in the booth I always get a little more excited. |
