Sweetwater Advice

Carson McClain

The sE Electronics Z5600a2 gives musicians and engineers all of the capabilities they need in one mic. It's excellent choice for pop, country, folk, rock and any other vocals that need a clear and distinct sound that accentuates and records well. Not doing vocals? Pop this mic on an acoustic or any other stringed instrument for a robust sound that can cut through any mix.

Sweet Mic!!

This mic is a great addition to any studio. As a somewhat ameteur recording artist, this mic is a great all around tool. Put it on the figure eight setting and do some close mic'd vocals, and the bass boost from the proximity effect puts them up front in the mix before any production. The room that I record in is significantly less than ideal, but this mic seems to pick up the best of everything without any of the big reflections. If you are at all considering this mic, don't even think. Get it.

A multi-talented mic that sounds great on vocals and many other instruments as well.

I have a number of sE mics and the Z5600A is my favorite (with the sE TITAN coming in as a very close second).
It is definitely a multi-talented mic that sounds great on vocals and on many other instruments as well. (My favorite for vocals)
It is a "smooth and dimensional sounding" mic with some "air" that isn't raspy or gritty like some overseas built mics can be. I really like to use this in omni paired with the sE SE4 small diameter mic for acoustic guitar.
