990 : Allrounder

I purchased it a few years ago as it was mentioned on several forums as a good platform for tweaking and customizing. Well I ended up actually using it "as is", maybe now I will finally have some free time to do the tweaks.

Using "as is" means putting it on men's vocals in front of a gospel choir on a quite loud stage. The included shock mount provided good noise isolation and I could get a decent beefy men's voice to the PA without much disturbance from drums and other instruments. I put it about 80cm-1m from the faces of the singers.

I also used it on some home demo recordings with quite usable results.

Anyway, I am not shy to use it here and there on different types of setups. Knowing it is quite cheap, I don't have to be too careful and can allow myself to experiment.

To finalize, I would say it is a good value for the price.
