AKGProfessional large-diaphragm condenser microphone Stereo Set, 3386Z00010

クリアに録ってくれます

Great for vocals, works for acoustic guitar, but i suggest accompanying it with a small diaphragm condenser to add more width to your music. Using one mic for an entire song can make it sound mundane. That being said, this mic works wonders for everything ive used it on, low self noise, great audio. Get a good cable to go with it, i suggest magomi, livewire makes okay stuff. But you dont want to plug a 500$ mic into a 10$ XLR cable. Good luck,

This microphone is great quality. I have recorded both guitar and vocals with this mic and the clarity is amazing. The flexibility of the patterns makes this mic a very useful tool for numerous applications.

One of the first things to say is : this is a good mic , yes, but only when used by a pro singer or pro guitarist , & the correct monitoring system. otherwise u may be wondering that is the difference between this & the $200 mic u already have. This is something that a lot of people dont understand : if u are a good singer, u will sound amazing with this mic bcos it picks up many small details which are not obvious on cheaper mics. if its a bad singer, well... they may sound worse than on a $200 mic because this picks up all the flaws beautifully.same with acoustic guitars. if u are playing a guitar in the $4000 range(like my handcrafted model), this may be useful. but my other $500 guitar actually sounded better on one of my $200 mics. this is because the cheaper mic gives a lot of artificial high/low boost to make the guitar sound better than it is. but this c314 is more transparent, so a cheap guitar will sound ... cheap. When listened carefully through studio monitors, i could make out the small details which make the elder brother mic c414 famous. Admittedly, I have never used a c414 so no reference there , but my standalone opinion is that yes this c314 is a good mic. for now, i have to believe akg when they say both mics use the same condensor.pros : -yes this mic is quite transparent without any artificial massive eq boost-yes this mic is quite versatile, works well on many different instruments-the included polar patterns are useful. figure 8 is great for Mid-side recording, hypercardiod allows it to be used even on stage with live monitors. omni is ok, cardiod is clearly tight & focused.-nice little case is included along with mic clip & shock mount.cons :- As expected with large mics, this mic does not feel the best fit for super fast strummed guitars, because it may not respond to the fast transients. I added some transients later in post production which is not completely natural, but its a mix effect. u may want another small mic for this, anyway even the manual mentions to pair with a small mic for acoustic guitar.- the build & colors are not as high-end as i imagined from the photos. it does not look cheap either, but then its not going to turn heads. maybe akg decided to keep aesthetics simple for this price range, which may be a good practical decision.

Incredibly clear.
