Customer reviews

Overall Rating 5/5 (1 reviews)

The mic was better than expected. It was recommended by a friend who’s had recording contracts and time in hi end professional environments re 9 Black Alps. He now uses a studio I have set up and he suggested we buy one. It is great on acoustic guitar and for recording loud Fender vintage amps as well as some vocals. It certainly well worth purchasing. I’m looking forward to more sessions with it.
