Minor QA problems

mateomorikone 22.10.2022

The first microphone I received had the highpass switch badly soldered to the PCB (it was loose) and I had to send it back. Thomann replaced it with another microphone.

The sound is very warm and round, but be careful with bass-heavy sources. I tried this microphone on acoustic guitar, clean amp, and as a drum room mic. It's natural sounding and has a nice roll-off in the highs, so it never sounds harsh. I really liked it on the amp with a combination of SM57.

The only thing to consider when recording with this mic is your room's acoustics. Because it has a figure-of-8 pattern you need to be mindful of your mic placement.

The included XLR cable is around 1.8 - 2 meters long (I couldn't find that information anywhere).
