Don Zientara / Fugazi, Minor Threat

“These mics are magnificent for guitar amps, vocals, brass, and stringed instruments! They have a good deal of top end, yet are never harsh. Smooth. Very smooth! A lot of times ribbons will be too heavy on the low end, but these mics have tamed it quite well, yet still remained creamy. Even though they lack some protection from plosives, this can be dealt with by windscreens. Violin was sterling from about 18″ away!”
