C-2 Stereoset : Remarkable

5 years ago

I've been experimenting with them as overheads on drums, under the snare and for tuned hand percussion and kalimba.

As you have probably noticed, these microphones are absurdly cheap. I got them just to see what they were like. Compared to an AKG C414 they are not as full down below 100Hz and have an enhanced brightness up top. That being said they work fine as overheads. That extra brightness can be softened with a little eq.

I haven't got a pair of Neumans to to a direct comparison but then again I've got £969 more in the bank than if I had !!!

I have spent an absurd amount on some specialist mics in the past. It's not always been money will spent. These are great to get started and learning how to mic things up.
