| I own a 2247LE. The only thing I can say about it is that its the least used mic of my collection. Almost everytime I compare it with the others, also considering different preamps, I find that its not usually the winner for a given aplication.
On vocals, it has a tendecy to sound unaturally scooped or even harsh not revealing the beautiness of the full body I can get with other mics. I think it lacks the silkness and the elegance I love to hear on vocals. I find it more on the agressive side, wich can be just what Im looking for, sometimes.
I also find it a bit noisy. I had a rode k2 a few months ago to try out. It has way more quiter.
In an unexpected way, I´ve been using it more with female than male vocals. Also not a bad drum mono overhead.
For the money I spent and the frequency I use it I have to say it was not the best deal I made, altough having a mic locker growing means that you will use further and further less each mic, as the competition rises. But it also means that you have better chances to find the best match capturing a given sound source.... |
