SPOTLIGHT REVIEW

Sound: Compared to micorphones that cost 10 times the price, the studio projects C3 has proved to be an amazingly versatile mic. I have used it in a variety of settings. Although the mic puts its own slight character, it yields extremely -- sometimes unnervingly -- accurate performances. Feature: A must for anyone who wants to get a mic that pulls double and triple duty a shoe-string. Pattern switching, at least on my model, an essential and useful feature. The -10db cut is useful for live or straight-to-tape performances. Included shockmount is fine quality as well, and the case -- although I wouldn't drop it from any height -- is roadworthy if packed diligently. Ease of Use: Well, just like any mic, if you know what you are doing with it and why, you'll be fine. All the controls are clearly marked, and are difficult to toggle "by mistake" when housed in the provided shockmount. Quality: For the money, A++++. Sounds better than the down-market AKGs and Neumanns that cost considerably more. Value: A++++ Manufacturer Support: Mine hasn't broken yet, so Idon;t know. Its stood up through some 100 hours of use over the last six mos. Call me in a year though. The Wow Factor: More, like, "You need it." If you're on a budget. Overall: Considering the value, and the fact that I've done top-shelf commerical quality wok with it -- and its cheap to the point of almost being disposable -- I would say this is probably one of the best choices for a new pattern-switching large diaphragm mic for a project studio on a budget.
