Apex Pencil Condenser Mic - Long & McQuade Musical Instruments

Description

The Apex180 'pencil' microphone is one of the most versatile small condenser microphones available, and is an essential addition to any artists' microphone toolkit. This single microphone outfit is really is two microphones in one. The Apex180 is shipped with two separate interchangeable microphone heads, one a hyper-cardioid capsule and the other an omnidirectional capsule.

The cardioid capsule is ideal for live sound reinforcement applications and recording applications where wide dynamic range and good, off-axis rejection is required. The Omnidirectional capsule can be used in the studio or for live recording where off-axis rejection isn't an issue and the engineer wants to limit proximity effect or needs a wider, non-directional pickup pattern.

This mic is actually very nice. For the price you pay, you get a decent pencil mic with pretty good quality. I was surprised that for so cheap these days there are actually decent products out there. For what I used it for it was perfect (I recorded an upright piano in my room) Posted by anonymous on Oct 25, 2012
