TIPS AND OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
|
First of all, this is not just a vocal mic, granted it works excellent for vocals, but you can record anything with this. My new minidisc recorder (Sony MZ-RH10) works great with this mic, I also use the Bose Quiet Comfort 2 headphones that way outside interference doesn't affect recordings, plus, it's a great way to check how your recording sounds AS YOU RECORD.
I use the microphone to record vocal overdubs (rap artists) acoustic guitar, traffic, sirens, concerts, and nature sounds.
The included wind mic is great when you record a storm and it's windy because the wind goes away, or your hear just a low frequency rumble which is actually quite pleasing. Excellent at recording thunderstorms.
Always use the manual setting when using a microphone like this, people these days like using AUTOMATIC settings, but when you are in a room with 20 people drinking, and you only want to record the person with the guitar in front of you, this mic works great. If your maximum manual setting is 30, record with this on 12-16, that's it, trust me on this, it's that good.
Check out a picture I posted with my microphone and the Bose Quite Comfort 2 headphones. By the way, everyone tells me the same thing, "Where can I get a pair of those headphones?", trust me, they sell them online, just expect to pay $300. I have used them for a long time, and I can't go back to using regular headphones. Regardless of what reviews tell you, they are perfect headphones as long as you are not stupid and fall asleep with them on.
Get this mic now, and while you are waiting for it to come, get a AA Lithium battery, if a standard AA normally lasts 2000 hours, imagine what a Lithium will get.
Please use Ni-MH (Nickel Metal Hydride) Rechargables for all your portable recording equipment, and please make sure that it says MADE IN JAPAN on the back, this microphone is MADE IN JAPAN.
I seriously recommend this over the 907 model for many reasons, #1 being quality of recordings, #2 being the pop filter works on this one #3 is the battery life 2000 hours vs 200 hours on the 907.
That's about it, this is the only mic I will use until I can find a better one, right now, this beat out a $1000 Neumann microphone, how, I don't know, but this mic is perfect in every way. |
