    Acoustic Guitar

    I got these microphones primarily to record my acoustic guitars. I am completely blown away how much cities clarity and depth this microphone was brought to my acoustic recordings. I’ve never been able to achieve recordings like this. The microphone I was using is inexpensive and too harsh for acoustic. It really is amazing how good these microphones bring out the details.

    Sound good, but too noisy

    These mics sound great, they look really cool and if you are going to record loud sounds as drums, guitar amps, loud acoustics, orchestra, etc. they will work fine. In my case, I'm currently using them to record acoustic guitar picking, upright piano and other acoustic instruments. If you need to record very intimate performances, forget about these because the amount of noise they make will mess your recordings up, unless you are searching for this "hiss" effect.

    Good microphones overall, they are just not made for quiet performances.

    Good sounding mics, just need a little overhaul (noisy noisy noise)

    I have to use extremely high quality cables (equal to the mic value) when working with these mics as they are so fussy and noisy. When they are working and the sound is clean, they are great.

    Sp1, both faulty when delivered brand new

    A disappointing first impression of these mics. The quality control isn’t what I expect from UA. I use several of their various units, digital and analogue, and am otherwise very happy with those. Regarding the mics, one was profoundly noisy and scratchy and on the other the XLR connection didn’t want to latch even under force, so these have gone back and it’s unlikely I’ll get another pair as I feel I don’t have much trust in their construction.
