Amazing value
For vocals I have been using a Rhode NT2 and SE 220011. They are both very accurate over a wide range. For some voices they are a bit strident and need quite a bit of tweeking. I have been looking for something more mellow, and this is it.
Straight out of the box Nice carry case, and onto the comparison files.
Recorded through my Euro desk pres and then to Presonus 1818vls to cubase 8. No problem with enough gain , a very clean signal and a stunning sound. Very round and smooth .
Tracking next to the other mics there is a very big difference. The SE and Rhode are very similar with the Rhode being crisper. The 144 has less top but can be boosted in the top end and allows a nice top end to come in. Likewise the bottom end can be rolled off with a softer sounding cut than the SE.
For the price,amazing value. Looks cool too.
