Instruments In The String Family Noise

I use this mic to record string and wind (brass mostly) instruments.  The different patterns make it effective in a variety of spaces depending on whether you want to reject other sounds or include reflections.  Versatile and great sound quality.

This mic sounds very nice for vocals, plucked string instruments, and woodwind instruments (at least that's what I've tried it on). I highly recommend it!

Really fantastic big string sound in the VSL instrument family.

This is my first 'serious' mic, after a string of DIY mics, preamps and cables and ongoing noise problems. The C01U's hyper cardoid pattern reduces noise down to a mere whisper, (and could be filtered out digitally) but I won't, so a short phyical move of the PC will will do the job nicely. And it sounds a whole world better than anything I've played with before, I've been wasting my time with DIY mics (with elements that claim the earth), I know where I'll be looking to next time.

I use this mic to record instruments in my house. Hardly any noise whatsoever. Nothing bad to be said about this mic.

This device is well worth the cost! I noticed immediately, a lower noise floor, better separation of instruments, deeper, wider soundstage. Highs are clean, without glare. Mids are clean and rich. Lows have more grip and well defined. Well done iFi!

A quick way to not string cables across the stage.

Great for Vocal and Instruments!

I like the softness of the string and when inside my ears. Great Sound!

I use these types of headphones for music when mowing or trying not to bother family around me when watching something on my phone. They're not noise cancelling, but they do a good job of blocking out noise (for me) and they fit nicely in my ear. The sound is quite good and the battery life is excellent. The voice prompt said the batteries were still fully charged after using them to mow the lawn 3 times (about 5 hours use). My previous set was lucky to make 1-1/2 mowings before they died.
