At first I had no idea what I was getting into.....lol. I have never used a ribbon mic before and now I am glad I did. The sound from this Mic is awesome. I have recorded some with it and vocals are rich and warm. I run it through a PreSonus Tube pre into the Lexicon alpha into Garageband. All it needed is a little reverb and I was ready to record. Buy this mic you will not be disappointed. Just a few things about the mic, IT DOES NOT REQUIRE V48 PHANTOM POWER. Also the mic is very, very sensitive, did I mention sensitive? So handle it with care. It sounds very good for recording acoustic guitar as well.
I was trying to decide between a ribbon mic or a tube condenser mic for vocals and acoustic guitar. I went with this for the price, and I am glad I did. The first time I hooked it up to my DAW, I got a very clean and realistic sound without messing with any options or effects. Thats excellent. One concern is that I do not have a pre amp, and I have to turn my gain all the way up on my interface to get this thing to register. I wish I would have realized this before I purchased it, because I am sure I will want to get a pre amp in the future. I hear these things are very fragile, and I am concerned about that. The shock mount works great, and is easy enough to use. It holds the microphone securely. I did not purchase a pop filter for this, but it is a necessity. I will pick one up this week. It is so sensitive, the lightest breath in the direction of the mic creates plosives, which are very undesirable. I am very pleased with the purchase though, especially for the cost.
I did a lot of research before buying a studio mic due to my low budget. I needed something that could record an acoustic EP well and sound clear. this mic does that perfectly. I know that for more money the quality will get better up to a certain point. But for the money this mic is GREAT and the sound needs little mastering, if you want to sound natural that is, it's obviously your choice on if you want too sound like T-Pain or not lol. But I would suggest this mic. Plus it looks amazing next too any other equipment.
