Mediocre at best

I bought this mic to have a room image for live multitrack recordings, but I was disappointed when I heard it in action. The mic is very gain hungry even though it runs on 48v and sounds weak at the high frequencies range.

However, it has a lot of dynamic range even when you boost gain.

I will probably will use it for other applications.

weak signal, possibly favours louder environment

The price for the Superlux E524/D is low.

Compared to my other condenser stereo mics, this has a considerably weaker signal. Not a problem if you can site the mic close.

Comes with plastic box and battery but it maybe better to spend more money on a higher quality stereo microphone. This is a cheap option and the build quality reflects this.
