  • A true 'sleeper' microphone.

    A real sleeper microphone if you're looking for something a bit 'darker' and 'smoother' than your average large diaphragm condenser mic. It's beautifully warm on the low end and very smooth on the high end, without sounding overly muddy - the slight presence boost in the frequency response really does help it feel very balanced for a ribbon, great for voice IMO. Sibilance and harshness is practically non-existent. Self noise spec is a bit high, but having said that, out the box with my GAP Pre73 Preamp, I'm getting noise floor of -80db in my recordings unprocessed so noise performance does seem better than the specs suggest. You do need a good preamp to make this work or a cloud-lifter like the SE Dynamite stick but even then the sound you get for the cost is very high end. There are very few mics that can offer the silkiness up top for this price - its a 'high end' sound.
