HI 10 : Value for money - for beginners to professionals

A mic designed primarily for hi-hats but can easily be used for overheads on drums, string instruments, acoustic guitars and piano.

I myself have used it on acoustic guitar for recording. Sound quality is excellent, very clear with a great pickup range of frequencies from the very low to the very high. I have used this mic to record acoustic on two songs as the sole mic as I had no other at the time and it speaks for itself. If you are buying your first microphone or set of microphones and on a budget then this is an excellent start for a small diaphragm condenser.

Very lightweight mic so if positioned up high as an overhead there is no fear of it falling forward even if the boom is positioned as far forward as it can go.
