C 411 PP : Good for starting out, handling noise, gigantic xlr plug

4 years ago

This is my first contact microphone. I think it can be good for starting out in sound design and as a complementary mic for field recordings. The cable is prone to transfer all the handling noise to the mic, so it must be a good practice to place the mic in place before starting the recording sessions. Another weak part is the plug that's enormous compared to the mic itself, even the included pouch can't contain easily the connector, you must put it diagonally. Maybe in future version they consider to use a little and more portable plug.
