Used it in Live Situations
Sep 12th 2010I have only used this mic extensively in the live sound world on Piano, Choirs, and Acoustic Guitar. It seems to be low on sensitivity scale as I always have some trouble with gain before feedback unless the source is really close to the element. Do you know how hard it is to get people comfortable singing in a choir group with a mic and mic stand over the top of them? It is my workhorse as far as small condenser mics go for live sound, but it's because it's all my company owns. Not sure I would buy it knowing that Neumann KM184's are out there unless I was on a budget. Has a midrange that makes a grand piano sound honky around 530 and 800. Might need a good preamp to bring it to life.
