This review is from: Behringer B-1 Single Diaphragm Condenser Microphone (Electronics)

I compared this mic back to back with my Shure SM57 recording some guitar parts and can say that from my stand point as an amateur enthusiast it was easier for me to produce a better recorded tone with the behringer than my SM57.
Overall a great mic and excellent complement to my SM57.

it is a standard studio microphone pattern with good pickup in front of the microphone and good drop off behind which helps with feedback reduction.
i have a home recording studio and it is exactly what i needed it gets good pickup.
remember to get a good wire though as the quality of the wire is just as important as the quality of the microphone as i found out when adding a very bad wire which allowed bad hissing.

This mic is a little diamond! Response is lovely and flat, it's crystal clear and the low cut filter is great if like me you are a folk fiddler and can't stop yourself tapping your feet! The mic body is very solid, as is the suspension mount and case. For those new to phantom power, make sure you buy a high quality XLR cable though, my mistake was to get a cheap one, there was so much noise from the cable that the recording would have been unusable. A high quality cable made all the difference. I use this with a Xenyx 1002 also by Behringer and the results are definitely studio quality. Also worth mentioning if you get it and go "hey this mount wont screw on my mic stand" there is an unscrewable brass insert in it and with that out it fits larger diameter threads!

As a saxophonist (i.e. not a keyboard player) I like this keyboard. I had a few glitches setting everything up to work but I put that down to me rather than any fault of the keyboard or software. I use it for inputting notes on Sibelius and messing around with. I like the Pro Tools SE which comes with it. This was a bonus for me as I have had problems with other sequencing software and I'm an absolute novice at that kind of thing. I already have a Casio keyboard which is very good but I was dismayed to find it not compatible with my new iMac. This one is fine with the iMac and Sibelius. That's all I really wanted so I'm happy with this purchase. :-)

Shockingly good, 30 Oct 2010

I love this mike. I have 2 already and am finding it hard not to get some more to replace all my other mikes. It is solid, looks brilliant and has an incredibly clean accurate sound. It reminds me of the Sony MD7506 earphones in that the sound quality is so neutral compared to what we are used to - it can be a little odd to start with but then it grows on you. I think this is a much better approach, start with a neural sound and then add colour, don't get the mike to pre-colour the sound and then make it near impossible to get back to neutral.

So good I've just ordered another !, 6 Jan 2011

This review is from: AKG D5 Dynamic Handheld Vocal Microphone (Electronics)

Running ( as I do ) an intimate, acoustic-based music night utilising a smallish, but very clean PA, an upgrade to our mics was recently suggested by our sound man, and, as usual, the SM58 was used as a kind of shorthand for " a decent quality mic ". I decided to look at alternatives and, spurred on by the reviews here, I ordered an AKG D5. It arrived yesterday, just in time for last night's gig, and brought smiles and praise from all who used it. Even when, at the end of the night, no fewer than 8 musicians took to the stage for a final sing-along, the vocals came through crisp and clear as a bell. So, I've just ordered another...which says it all, I guess ! A great mic, at a great price, with a spec that ticks all the boxes, and a sound that your ears ( and sound man ) will thank you for.

Better than SM58, 27 Mar 2009

S. Christie "Mad Chilis Fan" (Edinburgh) -

This review is from: AKG D5 Dynamic Handheld Vocal Microphone (Electronics)

Nice mic - I bought two of these recently to upgrade the mics for the backing vocalists in my band. Being a 'Shure man' I was looking at the legendary SM58 but prices these days range from £80 to £95 depending on where you look. I settled on these after reading many reviews. I have to say I'm impressed! They are beautifully clear mics which reproduce sounds perfectly, they have enhanced the overall vocal sound of the band (which relys heavily on harmony) and they respond at all levels. Easily equivalent to an SM58 if not better!

This review is from: Saffire 6 USB (Electronics)

Really solid piece of kit for the money. Plenty of features for most bedroom setups. Note the monitor outputs are balanced, which is a nice feature. Good build, sometimes feel the headphone jack is only held in place by the PCB it's attached to, as it wiggles slightly.

This review is from: Saffire 6 USB (Electronics)

I've owned the Saffire 6 for over a year now and its never let me down. The pre-amps are sound clear with a bit of beefiness too. There are only 2 leds for metering so you have to be looking at the meters on your computer screen for checkin levels. I've used this both for home recording and as a live dj interface. The 1/2-3/4 switch on the front is very handy, and the headphone driver is loud enough for a dj or drummer needing a click track.
I've also dropped this box off tables a few times at gigs and its metal casing mean it wasn't damaged at all.
