Main Components Of Modern Guitar Amplifiers

I use it for guitar amplifiers and home appliances - have been working great.

Using it for guitar but appears to suit small amplifiers well.

I bought to of these to run as a stereo pair for guitar amplifiers in a live environment. They are terrific! They handle whatever two 100 watt amps can throw at them and do not color the sound in any sort of negative manner. They definitely let the amps tone shine right through. I went from two classic Sm57s to these and I just notice more clarity and detail than I did with the 57s. Mic placement is a breeze. I spent all of 5 minutes with a pre-recorded loop figuring out the most natural sound and its very easy to find the large sweetspot with these mics. Again, the 57 does not have a huge sweet spot.

Since obtaining this microphone, I have used it to mic up two different guitar amplifiers to good effect. Overall, the sound is warm and the bass response becomes more pronounced the closer it is placed to the grille cloth. Positioning the mic around six inches away produces a more balanced and useable sound IMHO. I have yet to try this mic with a Cloudlifter, which I believe should, when used in conjunction with the Fat Head II, yield a better, hotter signal.

I use the surge protector to power my guitar amplifiers and other accessories in my home recording studio. The long power cord affords me the ability to move the surge protector around the room without hassle. Lots of outlets and slim profile. Also a major plus is the low profile/right angle plug which fits flat against the wall allowing furniture to be pushed closer to the wall.

Receiver is a great fit for both older Audio Components and most-modern ones, as well. I have my Turntable, Cassette Player, Disc Player--all plugged into the Receive and it sounds great with my older Speakers. Additionally, with iPod and Bluetooth Inputs, it's as modern as today.

I am a long time audiophile. My main stereo consists of Luxman and Sonus Faber components, and I have plenty of experience with high end equipment. I bought this Yamaha A-S801 to build out a second system for others in my household to enjoy. I'll keep it short and sweet- I believe this unit sounds 90% as good as components costing ten times more. Is that extra 10% worth it to me? Yes. Would I be happy with this A-S801 if it's the most I could spend? 100% Yes. An absolutely phenomenal unit for the price, especially considering it includes a DAC and phono inputs. I struggle to think of a better value in all of hi-fi. I had a bit of a snafu with my order, but B&H service handled it with aplomb, which is why I will always buy from B&H if I have a choice.

This mic boom is designed to be used to mic an acoustic guitar (or such) while the main, top mic is used for vocals. I use it to hold a pre-amp for my upright bass. The pre-amp has a mic thread on the bottom and this allows me easy access to adjust my volume and tone. It can be clipped either to a mic stand or to a music stand. Very impressive little product. Solidly built.

The C3000 is my main mic, I use it on acustic instruments as Classical, Acustic and Portuguese Guitar,and also on Vocals and as a room mic. It sounds closer to what you hear in the room then any other mic, with a smooth top end to help you to get warm vocals.

I have a small project studio and my main guitar amp is a vintage 1967 Fender Princeton guitar amp. Before purchasing this microphone, I miced it with a classic Sennheiser 409 which records great tone but I wanted something a with a little more high end, enter the MK 4. The MK 4 adds a nice dimension to the 409 and I mix them both together to capture the Princeton the way I want it. It also did not break the bank.
