Hi, all.
I have the opportunity to pick up a couple of Beyerdynamic MC834 mics. I'm wonder who's used them and what impressions you might have with them. They'd be a cleaner mic than what I have in my locker at the moment.
Any feedback would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Tommy

Cheers, Tommy Not a true LDC, very clean sounding vocal mic, but the one thing about this mic is that it almost sounds like it has a built in gate, that cuts the noise and the tail of acoustic instruments that can be annoying. Still while I would never suggest it as the centerpiece of ones mic locker unless it's the perfect fit for someone's voice, it's a unique mic that I personally would buy knowing what it brings to the party. |

To be honest, "a built in gate" doesn't sound like something I'd want. I'd likely want to use these for acoustic instruments. Thank you for the perspective! |

Yeah it's a very unique tool in my eyes a lot of people don't notice it, we had one in rentals and a classical guitarist is the one who first brought it to my attention, it was all detail, detail, detail, then silence, to early, with a Neve or API you almost can't hear it, but something like a Millennia and it just pops out at you! |
