Very First String Instruments

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!

Very usufu and string tripod that is not to expensive and do the job.

Tethered shooting is definitely the way to go. I used to string together usb cables but it looked very unprofessional. This cable is great. Very well made and should last a long time. I use a jerk stopped on my camera but not on my MacBook Pro Retina I would rather lose a shot from unplugging than have a $3800 computer fall to the floor!

This is a fabulous microphone. I've used it on nylon string and vocals. Very nice! Records exactly what you hear. Warm and sweet. The threads on the shockmount where it screws onto a mic stand, however, are very sloppy . Feels like low quality production.

Just perfect !!! Very string, and offer fast quick change between 1x to 3x i love it !!!

A quick way to not string cables across the stage.

Great for Vocal and Instruments!

This a VERY good microphone especially for the price. It provides clear accurate sound of acoustical instruments. Being able to change the directional pattern is a great plus. It allows me to pickup just the instrument or the instrument and room reverberations when recording. The violin and viola musicians I have recorded love the sound this microphone produces (so far those are the only instruments I have recorded with it). It would be nice to be able to change the pattern of the mic without having to change the tip but is is not a big deal to switch tips. For the price this is a great microphone it compares very favorably with mics costing 2 to 3 times the price.

Very open, clear and accurate microphone. Sounds really beautiful and well balanced. It's good for both instruments and vocals from classical to pop music. The quality of this microphone is exceptional and it's definitely worth than the price. I am now mainly using this microphone along with Neumann and DPA microphones. I highly recommend this modernized amazing cardioid condenser microphone to all musicians.
