Loved the sound from these mics
Austin –
Loved it from the moment I started tweaking with EQ. This thing gives you loads of playroom. It’s a pretty dark microphone in its natural flat out of the box tone but don’t let that fool you. Highly recommend for vocal work and even streaming with the right live processing.
RACINMI –
These are the standard for a reason. These sound amazing very transparent. Great for overheads and everything else.
