Strong match

Who this is for

  • Vocals and strings where subtle nuance and depth matter

  • Guitar amps and close-miked percussion when using the included –20 dB pad
  • Users seeking a handmade, point-to-point-wired microphone

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Users who need more than cardioid operation from the included capsule
  • Users who need omnidirectional operation without obtaining the optional omnidirectional capsule
