Great Harmonica, Wind Instrument and Close Up Vocal Mic October 30, 2008
This is a great overall stage/recording microphone for harmonica, wind instruments and close up vocals.
PROS:
1. Very low feedback. Hands cupped over the mic won't induce feedback like other mics which makes this a good harmonica mic. Great for all very close up mic-ing tasks.
2. Very low distortion. It is very hard to induce distortion when playing up close. This makes it a very good saxaphone mic that can be positioned right at the bell. This is a CLEAN mic.
3. Great frequency response. Instruments sound natural. Voice sounds natural. A harmonica player that sings can probably use this mic for both.
4. No voice pop. Built in windscreen prevents voice pops even when your mouth is touching the mic.
5. Good small size. Easy to use with a harmonica.
CONS:
1. Doesn't distort for that bullet sound. If you want that Shure Green Bullet distortion and sound in your playing, you need to get the Bullet. Using a preamp with an overdrive feature can get you in the ball park but this isn't a Bullet replacement.
2. Not good for recording lectures or a group from a distance. Mic is designed to be 0 to 2 inches away from sound source. This is ackward for singers unless your style is to have your mic against your lips, then this might be the perfect mic for you.
OVERALL:
A great, clean mic for harmonica players. This is also a great utility mic for a band with mic-ed instruments.
Buying from AAAudio is a fantastic buy for $129. At the time I ordered it, the price included both the XLR cable and the low to hi impedance transformer plug. The invoice had the mic for $106 and $23 for the accessories. At this price, any band using instrument mics should have one or two of these hanging around.
