Review: Five Stars - Nice microphone recommended
Review: Ottimo microfono ma occhio all'attacco. - Il microfono è eccezionale, suona benissimo e ha tutte le frequenze che servono. Solo un paio di cose, si tratta di un condensatore e quindi ad alti volumi scordatevi di farvi mettere il vostro strumento in spia e soprattutto l'attacco del microfono è un mini XLR con una potenza superiore a quella della phantom, va quindi abbinato al riduttore amplificato della AKG e non altri tipi di riduttori, io non lo sapevo e ho rpeso un normale riduttore da XLR a mini XLR ma non funziona, vuole proprio il suo cioè il cavo adattore phantom MPA VL che non è in dotazione e va comprato a parte.
