Pra 218A : Smooth little fella...

9 years ago

After running a test where i compared this and several other microphones for recording a guitar cab (Audix i5, Co4, ribbons, condensers) - i had to listen carefully if this was not the SM57... It has the same flavour, but with extended bass and less air in the highs (ref. frequency response).

Now it wouldn't be fair to say it blows a 57 out of the water, on the whole, it sounds "more dull" than a 57 on a guitar cab. But in combination with another mic (a condenser for example) it gives a very interesting extra to my ears.

I have yet to try it on drums and harmonica (its design seems perfect for that) but i can already say it is not leaving...
