The Charter Oak had a much more pronounced upper midrange that didn't work for me at all. I could see it working in a circumstance where you had a really thick mix and needed something to cut through, maybe a singer with a lower register,... but for me, I'd rather EQ to get there than start with something so pronounced. Let me make it totally clear that the Charter Oak sounded dynamite and for a different singer would be a great call. Just not the one pour mois. C'est La Vie. Now I have to shoot the Pearlman out with my SE ICIS. James laughed at it, but that thing has won shootouts at my studio with mics 5 times it's price! |
What range did you sing What's Goin' On in? Lowest, highest, average note?
Sorry for such a particular question. I'm heavily contemplating this mic, but haven't been able to give one to try.
