Fantastic all around mike!
This is a real gem. It has warmth and has the edge. We use it a lot in our recordings for guitars and toms. Vintage white version is great on cabinets while we found black version slightly better for toms and more low end.
Vintage microphone used in studio for vocals.
Great for vocals and drums and owning two of them.
becoming a favorite
after using this for cab micing i have decided this and the 57 and the best cab mics around
have 2 of them
Love it on everything with fast transients. Interesting for blending with a condenser mics on vocals. classic for guitar cabs
Classic all round mic
Classic mic with some bad design faults but with a really good all round sound. I use it for all kinds of recording
I think I am the only person who avoids this mic like the plague, I just hate it! even on tis traditional use as a rack tom mic
I know a guy in germany that feels the same way about it
