EM-91C : Super sound, finicky output

The sound reproduction of this mic is outstanding. I just couldn’t dial in the gain in a suitable way. My Marantz doesn’t have that issue, which is why I opted for a return in the end. If it were consistent for me I would have loved to keep it.

Editing this rating from 3 to 4 stars. It’s really a quality microphone. I actually purchased it again because I really like the sound. I don’t like that I have to sing with a pad. I’m somewhat new to this world so maybe it’s weird of me, but I prefer not to have to use a pad when singing. Maybe it’s normal 🤷🏻‍♂️. For that 4 stars but if the gain wasn’t off to me, I’d easily give 5 stars. It’s my go to mic for Smule and I prefer it to my NT1-A because of the reduced upper frequencies. The NT1-A is better for me as a studio mic, it is too sibilant for live recording without a de-esser.
