Yes, the AKG website says it's suitable for mic'ing strings, horns and piano. Probably because of it's super cardioid pattern.Quote:
I was very pleasantly surprised at how well it served as an emergency mic for an acoustic guitar as well.
Having versatility aside from being well regarded vocal mic is a bonus.
I am mainly using the Sennheiser MD421 for playing/recording saxophone into.
It has a 4 stage dial on the shank which reads S - - M.
'S' is for speech and rolls off the lows.
I remember handing it to some bloke to do a speech mid-way during a gig.
I was surprised to see him studiously roll the dial to 'S' before speaking (obviously a professional speaker methinks).
cheers, Mark.
I've gone all Rode right now, even though I now only own 3 mics.
