Just OK

Hey, you get what you pay for. I bought a pair of these mics for a children's choir in a church. One of them was defective and after replacing it, I was disappointed in the dynamic range. I tried them on acoustic guitars, a pipe organ, grand piano and even tried 'em as overheads for congas. They're treble efficient and lack a little in the 40-300hz range. So far I've tried three and each one has sounded remarkably different. In the end, they are what they are and I'll use one of them more frequently than the other and that one as a last resort. I strongly recommend the MXL 993 pair in this price range.

great little mic

This is a fantastic little mic, i am so pleased with it's sound that i want to buy more mics from sterling audio. It has been used for a harpsichord, vocals, and acoustic guitar, even some wind instruments, all sound great i am really impressed. Vocals come in clearer and stronger on this mic than a large condenser that was more in price. Such a great deal.

Bought a couple fo these to use on Drum Oh's at church. Pretty decent soundiong little mics. I didn't find them to be overly harsh, and they picked up the kit well, without too much bleedthrough. Also tried one out on Ac Gtr in my studio. Sounded pretty good, though a tad boomy too my ears, but nothing I couldn't eq out. All in all, pretty good little mic for $100.

Sterling Audio ST 31

The st 31 is a great sounding mic! Despite being a relatively new brand to the industry, the technology and experienced work behind it is amazing! Definitely on my must try list.
