I was goofing around with my new Raven over the weekend. I was able to find some nice tones on acoustic guitar. The mic captures the "edginess" of a steel string guitar nicely. Not a ton of "body", but good teeth.

It was nice in conjunction to the SM7B. The Raven has a strong upper mid tone that blended well with the darker SM7.

It's a keeper, but I'm not sure how much I will actually use it. Maybe acoustic guitar flatpick solos? or BU vox? I believe EV sells it as a "live" mic.
I think it would be useful live for acoustic guitar, guitar cabs, maybe toms...

I think as a harmonica mic it would border on "icepick in the ear" type tone.
