I bought 2 on sale and I absolutely love them. Great for mid side with an sm57 or 48. Flat 20-20 and phantom power capable! Happy recording! Cheers!

Sounds great bought one

[@LoweCommotionStudio]

These are very good and just went on clearance for $99.

I bought two and can honestly say they are absolutely the best budget mics I have ever bought. They are completely flat 20-20! I love doing mid side with them and an sm57 or 48... highly recommended, cheers!

Killing it

[@romanshredz]

Same here I always find the SM57 lacking on my dirty tones… like it’s missing some sound frequencies and too harsh in some mids and highs. I think your something with the Ribbon mic !!! Sounds good 🤘🔥🎸 would definitely be interesting to hear it mixed with the sm57. Can you spare an EVH cabinet 😂 🤷‍♂️ awesome review 👍

[@johnsguitarmusicanddemos]

Thanks for this unboxing video. I’m definitely going to have to check this out because I’ve been trying to figure out a good microphone to capture the sound of my amplifier and translate it good to the recording playback.

I bought two on sale and they are my favorite cheaper mic I have ever bought. There may be better out there but these are smoking! Flat 20-20... it sounds just like the guitar compared to the sm57 that has a dull like character in comparison

[@tianamarch6919]

Hey I’m just now getting into recording and I purchased this last week would you say this is a great mic for voice recording?

[@ricardopiedra723]

The rule is that there are no rules, however, cardioid mics have been preferred for vocals for most people, figure 8 pattern is widely used for guitar amps and other instruments. These are very sensitive to air pressure, so, a direct current of air could mess up the mic and you would have to buy a new one.
