P420 : Great microphone, need to learn to use it

Overall this is a great microphone, and very versatile given the multiple patterns. What I see is, you have to find the sweet spot with positioning, and the proper room for ideal acoustics. Mic is very sensitive. Sound wise, i would prefer a bit brighter sounding mic, the response is flat here, very neutral, which is understandably the preference for professional studio recording, where there is no overcolouring, and you can adjust the EQ later. But I found I needed to add a bit more EQ on the high frequencies as usual, for the vocals to cut through. Regardless. I just tested the mic once, I am sure, that with some more practice and tweaking, and using different preamp, the results will be much better.
