I've got to hand it to SP, that is one DAMN fine sounding microphone.
I like this thing even better than my AKG c422.
Its smooth, sweet, detailed, simple to operate and just FAT all around.
STRENGTHS
- cheap!
- sounds very smooth and refined
- awesome bottom end, dispite the 30hz end (something i've hated in other mics of that same measurement)
- monster sound stage..but that could also be in part to my ACM 660. XY recordings sound 3D w/this setup.
- easy to hide FOB w/the windscreen on. It just looks like someones head.
WEAKNESSES
- sort of cheaply built, imo. the pins on mine bend all the time, and they are quite loose in the chassis. But hey..what do you want for $499.
- freakin' BIG and heavy. 2lbs+ I believe. if your clamping, better pick someone w/a fat stand.
Honestly, the recordings iv'e made w/this thing so far since owning it are pleasing me every bit as much as my km140s did prior. A couple of times i've run my Pelusos for a set and the LSD for a set, and so far i've been loving the LSD stuff most.
which brings me to my next post....
anyone want to by a Peluso CEMC6 stereo kit w/cards and hyper caps?
