PERCEPTION Series – MARKET REACTION
“I do radio voice overs and I can tell you that after using a $1,000 Neumann, a $650 Shure as well as a $1,200 Sennheiser, this mic sounds better than any of those.
I own a pair of these mics and have used them to record everything from drums to choirs and they have delivered a very clear and tidy sound with awesome detail.
I bought this mic a few weeks ago and have used it for recording vocals and acoustic guitar. The results from this mic were unbelievable for the cost! The vocals were clear and warm-sounding. The guitar had a live feel to it.
This is THE best buy in an cheap condenser mic. So far, i’ve only used it for vocals and it delivers a warm, transparent sound that i’ve found lacking in other mics in this cost range.
I was BLOWN AWAY by its clarity and presence – it’s that sound that mics a few times its cost would have.”
