Ooh I love this AKG microphones! They are amazing. They captured so nice and clean. They have a nice height to it, they look nice, and have a great sound. I recommend everyone to use this microphones!
I use this kit to record drums both during band rehearsals and separately. I was skeptical at first, as the price tag of this set is quite low, but upon opening the case for the first time I quickly saw that all my fears were unfounded: all mics had a nice, heavy feel to them, I could not notice any production flaws...
Although it's the first time recording drums for me, setup was a breeze, included clips for snare and tom are sturdy and adjustable, and the recorded drums sounded great even before fine-tuning mic positions and EQ'ing. I haven't had the time to use the mics on other instruments, but I'm sure they will hold up just fine for those applications.
Overall I'm very happy with my purchase and look forward to recording with this mic set for many years to come!
These exceeded our expectations - we wanted to record our band's drums in a small shed. We set up the mics in a few minutes and recorded straight away (no need to fiddle around with mic angles etc.). Most of the work is done post recording. Very happy with the result these mics produced.
