Love this mic. To be fair, the only mics i’ve owned were an AKG C214, C414 XLS, TLM-103, & RE20, but so far this is my favorite mic for my vocals.. shocked by the cost to performance and wonder why more people don’t talk about this mic considering the low cost.
It captures less room than other condensers i’ve tried and handles proximity effect extremely well.
I thought it would have too much “high end” but it’s actually generally neutral, just has what I would describe as clarity and a very upfront/ mix-ready sound, might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but it’s mine!

Here is a snippet (single take) of the C80, a Serrano 87, and a Line Audio CM4. This is a demo overdub track for another artist. I don't have permission to release the backing tracks. on.soundcloud.com/8PTm54kCK1Y6eYCM6All mics were about 2.5 feet away from the banjo and very near each other. I've leveled the tracks to a common LUFS (integrated). My thoughts: - CM4: linear frequency response (as expected) and hard sounding - C80: high frequency emphases (as expected) and soft sounding - 87: frequency response lies in-between the CM4 and the C80 and is hard sounding The 87 works best against the backing tracks, to my ears, which isn't surprising since, from what I understand, the U87 is a standard mic for recording banjo. |
