Review: Perfect instrument microphone, picks up finest details. Needs phantom power. - Great for picking ip fine details, especially from instruments. Note that it's a condenser microphone, so it won't work if the amp/audio interface that it's plugged into does not supply phantom power. Connects with a female XLR cable end. Make sure your amp that you intend to use it with has an XLR socket that supplies phantom power. If routing through an audio interface/mixer, the device should connect via an XLR socket and must have the ability to supply phantom power to the mic.
Review: Nada que envidiarle al SM57 de shure, para instrumentos es magnifico, para voz no tanto, pero haciendo una buena ecualización sonara decente. Ampliamente recomendable.
