C3000 : A good mic for the price

6 years ago

I bought it 8 years ago for recording mostly vocals and secondarily acoustic guitar in my home studio. I should state though, that back then the mic was sold with it's case, wich is sturdy and handy and stil working perfectly.

As far as the mic is concerned, it sounds fine for demo and preproduction purposes and is in mint shape after all these years. The -10dB pad is very convenient when recording loud sources. The shock mount, although it feels a bit cheap, does the job flawessly and remains unbroken and fully functional.

pros:

-Good sound for the price

-Sturdy and reliable construction

- The -10dB pad gives flexibility

cons:

-The case is not any more included.
