Good for starting out, handling noise, gigantic xlr plug
Blippo 01.08.2021
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.

Finally a acoustic mic that sounds amazing!
Colm 01.06.2013
This little mic just blew me away with its sound, I have used all sorts of mic's for gigging and recording acoustic guitars in the studio and this one is far and away the best value for money. It makes the guitar sound more "natural" and gives a purer representation of the instruments tone. The handy "sticky goo" that is used for attaching the mic is great for finding the sweet spot and is easily removed with no signs of damage to my Martin or Guild. The difference in sound is remarkable, AKG really hit the nail on the head with this new design.

For the experimental recordist, not good for live music
roccapl 28.11.2020
This microphone is good if you want to do an experimental recording of some resonating material without the ambient noise in your way, so it can be a very valuable tool if you're a sound designer. In my opinion it's not very good for recording violins, guitars etc in a studio, because the self noise is very high and the frequency response is not very linear. As a live reinforcement microphone it can feedback if pumped too high, so beware, but sometimes it helped me as second microphone to amplify double basses and saved the concert. Anyway, it's WAY better than a piezo for most applications. Note: the best adhesive to pair with this microphone in my opinion is called Blu Tak, made by Bostik.

Satisfied with quality and functionality
Sonoquilibrium 04.03.2022
In general I am satisfied with its functionality, only in very lower frequencies it's a little weak. I am curious if really has 10hz and above a possibility to detect the signal.

For unusual instruments as well great!
Anonymous 13.09.2016
I use this mic for Ukrainian bandura which is quite big 67 string and has bass register and strings which sounds like an harp.
So this mic pics up very clearly all registers and sound is soft and warm.
Also it douse not make any other third party noise.
Easy to attach. Just glue it with the tape which is in the package.
Disadvantage that its not active, so you have to buy a phantom power, Which I bought.

Bad Microphpone
themedicineofsound 16.12.2023
Honestly I bought this thinking is a good brand, but after buying two units separtley, I got the same conclusion, they sound bad, they gives you a lot of noise in the signal, and some of them was more lauder than other, so that makes me think about is not the same quality construction for each of them, one is broken and the other in the garbage. dont buy it.

Very happy with some of the results I've had so far. I use it for both sound design and live sampling.
Microphone connector barely fits in protective bag.
I've used it on a musical saw. Every resonating metal material I find. Even some drums to give them slightly more body. Glass bottles. I've been looking for something like this for a long time. It doesn't have a full spectrum representation, but nonetheless I'm happy with this.

The microphone to go for when you're short of cigars...
Slackfire - Italy 21.02.2018
When the moment comes to record a classical guitar nothing beats a traditional microphone. Apart from this AKG411PP that produces very detailed reproduction of the guitar's frequency spectrum.
Being a condenser microphone, it sounds way better than a piezo, and gives the advantage to carefully chose the position on the topo, to maximize the tone response.

perfect for small harps
Resonate 02.04.2021
I use this one with multiple small harps and I am stunned. It sounds as well as a fancy DPA on these small string instruments. Won-der-ful
