Value for money - for beginners to professionals

A mic designed primarily for hi-hats but can easily be used for overheads on drums, string instruments, acoustic guitars and piano.

I myself have used it on acoustic guitar for recording. Sound quality is excellent, very clear with a great pickup range of frequencies from the very low to the very high. I have used this mic to record acoustic on two songs as the sole mic as I had no other at the time and it speaks for itself. If you are buying your first microphone or set of microphones and on a budget then this is an excellent start for a small diaphragm condenser.

Very lightweight mic so if positioned up high as an overhead there is no fear of it falling forward even if the boom is positioned as far forward as it can go.

Brilliant value

really impressed how well this has performed, i mean it was ?29 and i have used it on numerous sessions so it has definitely paid for itself many times over, great performer on the neck of a guitar.

Hi-hat Mic

I bought this mic to use with the Superlux DRK K5C2 drum mics. Very pleased with the quality of the mic, I set it up on a mic stand, aimed it at the Hi-hat, and got good sound right from the start. Just point and play, what more can you ask of a mic?

A lot of value for the money

I ordered the Superlux for some experiments during home recording. I know the Superlux headphones which are incredible, so I chose this one out of all the entry-level budget small-diaphragm microphones. And it was a good choice. It seems well-made. I could not detect any build quality flaws. Okay, the mic-stand-adapter is quiet narrow, but with some controlled force you can put the mic inside and then it will stay there forever.

The sound is very good, especially for that price! I tried it for recording percussion like shakers or cabasas and it did a good job. It produces a lot of details and no overemphasis of special frequencies. Even at the low end I got some decent results. Put this little mic into the opening of a big plastic bottle and you get an incredible bass-drum-like sound when hitting the belly of the bottle! But beware, the smallest change in position changes the sound totally.

And also for recording a cajon it does a great job. I place it about 1 feet from the cajon and get a well-balanced sound. Love it!

Great piece of gear for the money. I consider buying a second one for drum-overhead-purpose...

Great crisp and bright sound with this mic. Use it for recording hi-hats and acoustic guitar, found it is much better suited to hi-hat and it was lacking a bit of body with the acoustic. Very happy with the hi-hat sound with it.
