Got this mic in the mail from zZounds in record time of course. This mic deserves a good review. I immediately beat cheeks to the studio and plugged it into my EL9 and recorded a 60s style male vocal from about 18 inches away. Wow! I could hardly believe what I was hearing in the monitors. Recorded the vocal at 24 48. Placed that vocal in a skanky rock guitar drum bass mix w/ mono AR50s drums and a Rickenbacker stereo bass. HOly CrAp! My vocal sits in the mix loud and clear. Had to EQ out just a little mid/high freqs. I recorded it flat (no bass roll off - I rarely do that but I had to try it w/ this mic). Note: the EL9 is an amazing preamp and you don't hear any hiss in the vocal recording. If you read other reviews of this mic, yes, you are best to use a good clean preamp to get the best of this ribbon mic. CONCLUSIONLittle more to say than WE HAVE A WINNER! I will be using this mic for vocals and probably anything else I can think of. Super fun quality mic. Super happy with my purchase.
