Been saving up for this badboy and finally managed to get it! Had a quick shot of it last night!
Lots of rejection so doing vocals with monitors cranked is no problem at all, throw a gate on or edit out the noise and you're sorted.
Also you hardly get any room sound at all compared to using a condenser, which is great for when you're working in a less than perfect room.
I only needed about 20db or so of gain, but then I am a very loud screamer. I can see you needing more for quieter applications though.
Also I really see what people say about it sitting in the mix well. it makes the vocals really audible without drowning out everything else.
Definitely sounds a bit clearer without the foam filter on though, but I wonder if the presence boost would help.
The presence and rolloff switches are great for matching the mic to different singers. I preferred the sound of my voice with it on flat, but for the guitarist in my band (clean singing) who has quite a dull voice the presence boost and rolloff really worked for him.
All in, love it. £320 very well spent. If anyone out there is considering buying one then go for it! Your vocal tracks will love you for it.
