HI 10 : A nice condenser mic overall

This microphone from Superlux again gathers suspicion with its low-low price, but once again they prove that quality doesn't always mean money. This condenser mic is especially marketed for hi-hats, and indeed does not sound all too bad on them. Brings a nice shimmer and clearly enhances the sound of just letting the overhead capture the hi-hat.

Another great use for these is on acoustic guitar. I bought another just to record my acoustic in stereo and find myself usually going for these when there is a need to lay down some acoustic tracks. Clean, clear and crisp sound. But mind you, they are quite responsive and do pick up everything, like fret noise or mic-stand bumps, so think twice about placing them on loud targets or in situations where they might pick up unwanted sounds. They do feel quite robust for the small size and are really compact to take around. Also nice golden colour, they come with a soft pencil case like carry bag. Yet to try the stereo pair as drum overheads, but definitely gonna experiment with that as well.

Overall with this price, they are surely worth it to have around.
