I had kind of a noteworthy experience today
I was a little on the fence about my 2247 SE on my voice, calling it a bit "flat" or "thin" sounding sort of scooped or bright or something, you know
well anyway I played around with preamps and found that, with slightly different tweaks on the N72 vs the VP312 I got two very nice vocal sounds using the URS FullTec EQ plugin.
I cut about 3 dB at 12 kHz, cut about 2 dB at 60 Hz, and cut about 3-5 at 200 Hz with a narrower Q. this instantly darkened up the mic, cleaned up the bottom end, and let the breath frequencies breathe easier. the resulting sound is very clear and present sounding, and flattering to my voice. the N72 could stand a bit (3-5dB) of 16kHz boost, where the VP312 was already very articulate sounding off the bat. the N72 had the advantage in low end "warmth"
I hate the idea of having to use an EQ every time I sing into this mic, but, if it works, well, I guess I can deal with it until I find that mic that's perfect for my voice with no EQ.
on drums on the other hand I didn't need any EQ with the 2247 SE.
I guess I am reluctantly accepting the fact that EQ is often a necessary evil, and maybe that there really aren't too many picture perfect all at once vocal microphones in existence. anyway try this if you think the Peluso is too thin sounding before you get back on that sometimes trying quest for the perfect microphone.
