Great review. I really appreciate it. I already have one that I want to start using for voice over work and it is definitely a hot mic that seems to pick up every little noise. Can you tell me if it is best to have the High Pass Filter on or off for voice over work and which position of the switch is on or off. Great musical skills too. Love the guitar playing. Thank you :)
Very hot mic. You definitely need some treatment in your recording space because of that output and the full capsule this microphone has. To answer your first question... it depends. If you like your voice to sound lower and more bloomy when you talk closer to the mic then keep the high pass filter off. This effect of making your voice more lower and deep sounding when you get close to the mic is called a proximity effect. If you want your voice to sound more natural sounding when you get up close to mic keep the high pass filter on. To answer your second question the high pass filter is off when the switch is to the right and switch to the left turns it on. Let me know if you have any other questions.
does your microphone have a bottom cap that unscrews? i've tried two of these microphones and one unscrewed at the bottom while the other did not, both sl models
Yes, mine does have a cap that screws off. I can't speak to the older model baby blue bottle or the bluebird, but I do know that all the baby blue bottle SL's have an unscrewed cap. The reason for this is because it is supposed to be a professional studio microphone and it makes it easier for repairs as well as to be able to alter the microphone like switching out the capsule. Hope that helps.
Are you asking about the analog to digital converter box? I would suggest to use a focusrite Scarlett solo gen 3. It's a cheap and reliable audio interface that you can get used for under $100. It is really great because it can do a sample rate 192hz and a bit of depth of 24 bit, which is studio grade quality.
I picked up this mic on amazon for a huge discount and this mic has been my go to. it's perfect for my vocal tone.
Yeah it is my go to mic for singing.

Yeah just got this off Amazon for 125 a couple days ago.
Yeah it's a crazy deal for a quality studio grade microphone
@@unumludum sounds way better than I expected too.
hey i wanted to ask how did you get that type of deal? for me it shows up as $259.99
@realparvana they've been going on sale quite frequently so just wait for the next Amazon day or boxing Day sale and they should drop pretty low.
@@unumludum oh okay thank you!
I got one on ebay open box for $179 before tax, cant wait for it to be here
It's a great mic. I'm sure you'll be happy with it. Let me know if you have any questions regarding the microphone.
@@unumludum Thank you and thanks for the review
