This microphone is a masterpiece!
Hands down the best mic I have ever used for my vocals. silky and smooth top end with a nice bass roll off. sits really well in the mix but also stands out. I've prob went through 7 different mics and i finally found the one that best suits me. I would definitely suggest giving one of these blueberry's a try before purchasing anything else. This product is an absolute gem. i couldn't be more happy, if i had to buy a second microphone it would be another blueberry because my studio peeps love this mic just as much as myself.
