What you hear is what you get
Aug 26th 2010These are called "ultra-accurate" for a reason. I used them recently on a classical guitar and ended up mixing with another (colored) mic as they sounded "too accurate". They picked up EVERYTHING, including finger noises and external noises. I suspect that if the performer were better, these would be ideal. Also used them live for orchestra and they sounded so natural that the conductor thought the PA was not turned on... If your environment is noisy, though, beware, as these will pick up everything....
