Mic Reviews
Sound Advice

Introduction:

There were 31 microphones submitted for review. Additional manufacturers were willing to submit product. It was determined that any more microphones would prohibit proper, thorough, evaluation. This review would not have been successful, had it not been for adequate time with all of the microphones, with the same positioning techniques, on the same sources. A future review will be held, for those unable to participate this time.

It was a pleasure dealing with all of these companies. I met a few people that were presently involved in church/ministry music programs, or had been in the past. All of them expressed the desire to provide the church market with more affordable, effective tools. All of them understand the trends in church productions, building and system designs. The mics provided are marketed, but not limited to, fixed installation, concert sound, and recording. Some of the mics cross over into multiple or all markets effectively.

All of the manufacturers have websites full of information about their products. Some of them have "White Papers" that highlight their technology, while others list the bullet points with no specifications. DPA is the only company offering a "Microphone University," detailing standard microphone techniques and theory, in addition to Product Applications. The following is general information, provided by the manufacturers, via their websites. I have listed the website addresses for all manufactures in the specifications below. For additional technical information, you will need to contact the manufacturers directly.

    Where are the reviews?
    I am confused. I read that the number of mics reviewed here was limited in order to do a better job at reviewing them. But I have been searching for several minutes for the actual reviews with no luck, other then the manufacturer specs (complete wi...more

    This is a review?
    This is rundown of 31 mics, not a review. I came to this page seeking quality commentary on microphones in actual use - you know, a review – not specs and marketing material I can find on the web myself. Unless I missed something of value here, I'm ...more
