Handy stereo mic

By Spencer
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2025-06-18

After deliberating over condenser mic pairs for a while, I decided it would be simpler for me to get an xy stereo mic for my current uses (general field recording with brief voiceovers via a directional mic). I use a rycote ball and fuzzy on it and it sounds great. Low noise overall, the stereo field is as I would expect from an XY setup and while it's probably $400 buyer's placebo, the field feels wider than other XYs I've tried. The only complaint I have is very very minor: the logo/model name battery tube does not align with the axis of the microphone, so with a windshield on it is difficult to align correctly. Nothing a dot with a sharpie couldn't fix, but I prefer not to mark my equipment if I don't have to!

Working great since 2005

I bought this about 2005 and it has worked great. The only complaint I have is the foam windscreen is now disentegrating into fine black dust. Always stored in a moisture free case indoors when not in use. If you need a sterio mic I recommend this one. Now I'm going to find another screen
