again, just the thing for acoustic guitar.
Sound
As was mentioned, a good sound for acoustic guitar. I just bought a second one for stereo recording. I would comment it sounds "flat and even" as opposed to punchy or boomy, some mics add their own character and this doesn't seem to. That makes it excellent for rhythm guitar and general, background use. Also, some other mics I tried can get overloaded from a hot level, this doesn't seem to rattle or break up too much. Good clean sound, no noise. I like this mic.
