Very good sounding microphone

I have had this microphone for a while now and used it on many projects. It worked almost perfectly on everything I threw at it. Wether it was some vocal on acoustic instrument. I say almost, because of this mics "flat tone" output you need at least some kind of processing either hardware in form of some colorful preamp or in software to make it really pop. That is why I removed one star, not because I do not like the mic, but for you to understand what you are getting into with this piece.

Overall. If you want some colorful microphone that is gonna be poppin right out of the box, just go look elsewhere. But if you want a versatile and reliable mic, that you can customise the sound of to your liking and throw it at about any source... well, you sure are in the right place and you are not gonna regret your purchase :)

Very good microphone in value for money!

I have been using this model for more than six months and there are no complaints! good bottom and warm, spicy top. especially suitable for female vocals or tall male vocals. I recommend to buy!

Good value for money

The quality is relatively heavy, and I have found a lot of brackets. Currently, I choose psa1.

Not very suitable for recording harmonica and guitar, its successor se2300 does not know if it has improved.

Overall it is quite suitable for getting started

I bought this microphone to cover all the new rap recordings I'm working on lately.

I first connected it to the Apollo Twin preamps and the sound was good on average. But then I put a Neve 1073 preamp and the microphone started to shine.

Obviously, it is a Chinese microphone and cannot compete with my German Brauners and my old Neumanns, but it does a very good job when I do not want that complexity and additional details in the sound but I still want the characteristics of a large diaphragm condenser microphone.

Another thing to consider is the very low noise of the microphone.
