Soyuz Microphones SU-017 Large-Diaphragm Tube Condenser Microphone

This is a mic that belongs in major studios across the country. On vocals, it gives a warmth and fullness to the voice that must be heard to be believed. Let any singer try this microphone and they'll be asking for it again, I promise. I'm a vocalist myself and I've tried a lot of different mics over the years, across different budgets. This is the mic I'd choose. As an engineer, I'd use it everyday. It's great on vocals, yes, but it can work for any other application you'd use an LDC for. An added bonus is that it looks great! Classy, vintage, and it stands out from the crowd. If you see this mic anywhere, you'll instantly recognize it. and even though when it comes to mics looks technically don't matter, that's still good product development - something users can immediately recognize. I've not found any flaws. It's pricey, yes, and this isn't a purchase someone should make if they're not serious about making music. But once you try it out you'll see why it costs what it does. It will last forever, and you'll never want to get rid of it!
