Jim McMillen / Vitamin String Quartet

“The N28 turned out to be perfect for recording an acoustic guitar that sounded quite scratchy on the other mics. The N28 made it sound warm and smooth without having to use EQ. I’m sure I will be using it in the future when I need something to take the edge off of a strident instrument!”

-Jim McMillen
