Impressions

This is a standard in many studios, for almost anything. It’s kind of like a euro-sm57/58 in that regard. Many use it for guitars, vocals, tom-toms, even snare. And it has a life in live sound as well, due to it’s cardoid pickup pattern.

However, for me, I’m not really a fan. I’ll use it on tom-toms, but thats about it.

To me, it’s not a bad microphone, it’s actually decent. But there are just generally better mics to use.
