Apogee Ensemble

Larry Elliott · 24th April 2007

Has anyone had the chance to try one of these on Choral and or Early Music?

Preferably with DPA 4006 mics.

Many thanks

Larry

If you by that you are asking if the Ensemble is capable of recording sound to a very high quality, the answer is most definitely yes.

I haven't used 4006's with my ensemble but I'd bet my granny that the result would be very good indeed.

I've used earthworks, schoeps, akg and sony mics and every time I find the ensemble is very capable. To my ears you get what you put in, and that is what I want.

It is quiet, has a very good dynamic range on the mic pre's and is easy to set up and use. For this reason I reckon it is perfectly suitable for acoustic recording sessions and I wouldn't think twice about using mine for such gigs.

Don't forget that there are only 4 mic pre's so you'll need extra gear if you need more than four mics.
