Yes, that pretty fairly sums up this mic. Bright - too bright for many
applications and harsh is a description I've often heard.


Bright instruments (glock, celeste etc) sounded quite good -
crisp and clean. No sign of harshness, but this might show itself
more on vocals. A 50's rock'n'roll tenor saxophone might be
fun too:-)

Of course
any flavour of mic will find an application, even if it is "enhanced
intelligibility" in a church, oxymoron though that clearly is.


I can't imagine that I would ever find a use for the presence boost
module. I wonder if that merits a 15p discount? :-)
