Good Intermediate Bass Guitar

Love it so far. Like the other reviewer, I bought it as a guitar amp since it was priced so competitively against a good amp. It has more functionality with the mixer over a traditional amp. with 800Watts, it has the bass needed to push a drum kit and bass player. The dishes in my china cabinet were literally hopping. I will return to revise the update with more time.

I purchased the HA-RX700 for my ham radio station, but ended up using them with my stereo on a regular basis. Very comfortable, extremely durable, and attractive - with an excellent, well-balanced sound signature. Bass is solid and punchy, without booming or overwhelming higher frequencies. Mid-range is all present and accounted for, it's all there. Treble sounds are clear and crisp, with no harsh sibilance. I play acoustic guitar, and electric guitar and bass - so I want my record collection to sound realistic. Guitars voices sound right. Cymbals sizzle and triangles ping as they should. Bass lines sound right - deep, full, but not booming or thick. These are well made, durable, and good sounding cans that compare favorably with other models costing much more. While they do not sound exactly the same, I consider them serious competition for my AudioTechnica ATH-M50, and similarly priced cans from AKG, Sennheiser, and Shure. YOU might prefer one of these other products, but you won't get anything sounding this good from those companies for the price of these cans. At least, that is just MY take . . . your mileage may vary. Good luck with YOUR buying decision. I am pleased with this transaction. Oh... almost forgot to mention B&H shipped them quickly and safely in practically no time. Count me a happy camper. JHR

Ideal if you play bass or guitar and sing. It gives you space from your instrument.

Used to cary multi effect system for my bass guitar

Great for intermediate distance shots!

Good bass!

Used once for powering guitar amp, powered monitor, pedal board, and bass amp on stage. Performed well and kept the hums at bay. Long cord legnth and good plug access.

I bought this mic on a whim. I have a large mic collection and find Cad mics hit or miss. They make some dull sounding entry level mics and some incredible sounding high end microphones. One thing: their mics tend to be incredibly tough. I'm a huge fan of the equitek line, so I figured I'd see what this mic was all about since it looks pretty cool. This mic is great, especially for the price. It sounds great on vocals, acoustic guitar, guitar and bass cabs, and piano. I briefly tried it out as a room mic for drums but found the top end a bit too harsh (horrible zbt cymbals), but I didn't get a chance to experiment much with placement, nor with switching cymbals out. I used the mic on a recent recording session I did for a metal band. Paired with a dynamic mic on a 2x15 bass cab about a foot away from the speaker, the cad e40 captured an absolutely killer bass sound. Punchy with just enough grit, and incredibly detailed sounding. It might be my go to mic for 15 inch speakers from now on.

I use this for playing guitar/bass and singing to see my iPad charts and lyrics. it's PERFECT, and very sturdy. Always at the right angle, and is a MUST HAVE!!

This purchase replaced two of my 5 MKH8050's that went missing. They are great mics that there was no question I needed to replace. The Sennheiser MKH8050 (hypercardiod),and the other MKH mics, have a very smooth on and off-axis frequency response, are very quiet, and being RF condensers ( unlike almost all other condensers) are not affected by very humid conditions( no cracking/popping). I've used the MKH8050 on almost every instrument you can think off with outstanding sound: eg kick drum, bass/guitar amp, brass, woodwinds. acoustic guitar, banjo, violin/viola/cello/bass, kalimba, sitar, drum overhead, tabla, djembe, cajon, choir, classical style vocals ( mic'ed from few feet distance). Great for live sound and live recording. Rycote INV-3 are perfect shockmount clips to use with the 8050 ( and the 8040, 8020, 8090). I don't bother with the standard clips-esp. since the mics and the INV-3 shockmounts are very small and this is a bonus for video work. I don't do boom work but many write that this mic is one of the go-to choices for boom mics (esp indoors where off-axis pickup needs to be smooth).
