Critic Reviews

Audio-Technica PRO37 Review

recordinghacks.com

The Audio-Technica PRO 37 stands out as a budget-friendly gem, lauded for its unique sound and commendable performance under $200. Endorsed by Steve Albini, it offers an appealing grittiness, making it perfect for acoustic instruments and digital recordings. While not the quietest mic, its presence boost and sharp frequency fall-off beyond 15 kHz add character, especially for bright, cutting mixes. It's not an all-rounder, but its distinctiveness and affordability make it a valuable addition to any mic collection. A high bang-for-buck ratio ensures you won't regret owning this small-diaphragm condenser.
