(see rating details)
At first I try to find a mic to replacing the beta 58a and got this mic while its on sale! Test it out and loving it !!!
Sound
It has a clean clarity and warm sound and very good in back ground noise rejection. Furthermore, Its have a very high gain and I could compare this to the Encore 300 !
Features
Handling noise is so low that its nearly none existence! and really good in rejecting the surround noise/sound.
Ease of Use
The sound is good just straight out of the box but if you play a little bit on the mixer EQ its even produce a more bright and sonic sound!
Quality
Very well make not as heavy as the beta 58a but just right to hold and its XLR is alot more secure than the beta 58a!
Value
This mic could be compare to that of the Blue Encore 300!
