Getting the Job Done

To be honest, I have yet to actually *hear* this mic in action, but my church service zoom attendees have, and noticed an improvement. Admittedly they are likely listening on little computer speakers and zoom is compressing the life out of audio. I needed to upgrade the mic I was using to capture our big old pipe organ without spending a lot; this unit popped up in several articles about recording organs, so I figured why not, let's give it a whirl. It's very sensitive, yet does not easily overload the mixing console channel when the organist gets enthusiastic. I liked the specs, the fact it's omnidirectional, has a level pad and switchable high pass filter. I need to record a service or two to find out what it's really doing, and tinker with the audio controls in zoom a bit. I placed the mic about 25 feet away from the chest of pipes, etc, in the balcony. I sat in various spots while the organ was being played, and this one spot sounded pretty good with ambience, so that's where it went!

These microphones are superb.� I do nature and location recordings and every chance I can take to use omni mics I take it.� I upgraded to these from a cheaper pair and now I'll never look back.� Not only do they have an amazing flat low-noise response, they also have great off-axis response and, so far, they've tolerated humidity and low temperatures (still above freezing) without any problems whatsoever.� They are so natural and tansparent that you really don't have to worry about coloration, if you just focus on nailing your placement and location the mics will deliver.� Omnidirectional mics in general are incredibly underrated and underused because people don't appreciate all the benefits they offer beyond just the polar pattern.� Love these mics and I can't recommend them highly enough!
