It struck me that the bright characteristic of this mic
could be used to advantage other than in concert applications, for
recording of instruments such a celeste, or tuned
percussion, glockenspiel, bar chimes, bell tree, etc.
The sound was
pleasing - clean, clear and bright, with adequate gain.


Yes, that pretty fairly sums up this mic. Bright - too
bright for many applications and harsh is a description
I've often heard. Of course any flavour of mic will find
an application, even if it is "enhanced intelligibility"
in a church, oxymoron though that clearly is.



Several reports of the C1000 making most things sound " glassy and
unnatural".
