patchwilliam's Music Gear Setup

This mic sounds awesome. It has that classic radio broadcaster low-end and a pretty transparent high end. It can give you a clean, bright, transparent sound or a dirty, crunchy, warm tone. It all depends on how you process this thing, which is the biggest part of owning this mic. This thing absolutely requires some form of dedicated gain amplification. Running this directly into my interface is not a good call. The interface's preamps are not strong enough to boost the signal of this mic off the noise floor. I have been running it through a Cloudlifter for some years but recently added some 500 Series outboard gear to my studio and I will be running this mic through my Warm Audio WA12 500 MKII from now on to get the signal hot. You can use this mic for everything - vocals, guitars, flutes, drums, whatever - as long as you gain stage it properly.
