For me this is perfect for a drum kit overhead because the frequency range picks up toms, snare drum and cymbals with a great deal of clarity. It will also pick up the bass drum as an overhead, which makes it ideal for acoustic jazz or other acoustic genres. For louder music this overhead and a kick drum mic may be all you need.
It also works well close micing smaller amps like my Roland KC-110 3-Channel 30-Watt Stereo Mixing Keyboard Amplifier , which has incredible tone, but does not project in larger and louder ensembles.
In the case of the instrument micing I mentioned this works practically out of the box. The shock mount is steady and attenuates vibrations and ambient noise, and all you really need to do is plug it into any mixer that can provide phantom power.
For vocals, especially when the singer has a sultry voice (think Julie London), this mic also excels. Actually, it matters not what the vocal range is, this mic will do an excellent job, but truly excels in the lower ranges. For vocal work I recommend running this mic through a PreSonus Tubepre Single-Channel Vacuum Tube Mic Pre , which will warm it up a little more and give you a lot more control over gain. It will also provide phantom power if your PA does not provide it.
Read over the other reviews, which provide more specific and in-depth information about this mic. Like most of the others who own this mic I am very pleased with it and would be hard pressed to find a better one at three times the price.
This is a really great mic that comes with a nice little accessories bundle including the shock mount, a nice hard case for both and some great resources and manuals to learn how to use it and get the most out of it. I found those to be very helpful and easy to read!
At the end of the day though, the sound quality is really, really good, especially for what you pay! I'm really glad I took a chance on this. It will make you sound great if you're well prepared but don't think it's going to do you any studio magic favors. If you don't know your music or sing/play flat, that's exactly what this will record, haha! No, it does not come with software to edit what you record. I didn't expect it to but some people seem to be wondering about that.
Here's how I use it and what I bought to go with it:
- Audio 2000 3ft mic cable from H&F technologies
- Samson MK 10 mic boom stand
- Zoom H4N audio recorder (which I already had)
If you're using a Zoom H4N here's what you need to do to connect it:
- Plug your mic cable into input 1 and press input 1 (both 1 and 2 will light up but that's ok)
- Provide phantom power to the mic by entering the menu options, scrolling to and selecting "Input" and then scrolling to and selecting "Phantom Power". This mic takes 48 so select that when asked if you want 24 or 48.
- Enable both left and right channels (you have to do this if you want to hear what you record in both the left and right ears of a pair of headphones) by going back to the menu options and selecting "Input" and scroll to and select "Mono Mix" and turn it on.
Ready to record and enjoy! I just record to an SD card on my Zoom H4N and pop that into my PC. I do the actual editing using Adobe Audition software which I like a lot.
I hope this helps someone else who is looking for a solid mic to get good vocal, guitar, piano or ukulele (those are just the instruments I play) recordings on a budget or someone who is trying to connect a condenser mic to a Zoom H4N recorder! For the record I did NOT get this mic for free or at a discount. I paid full price for it.
