Geheimtipp Violet Design Mikrofone?

[RockinRobin]

Hallo, ich bin neu im Forum und habe nach Informationen zum Pearl Vocal von Violet Design gesucht. Hier ist der einzige Ort, an dem ich gefunden habe, wo wir darüber diskutieren. Ich spreche kein Deutsch und dies ist eine Google-Übersetzung.

Haben Sie etwas Neues an diesem Mikrofon? Ist es gut fürs live? Ich war bereit, die Earthworks SR40V zu kaufen, die mir ausgezeichnet vorkommt, aber ich hätte gerne eine Rendite für die Pearl Vocal, die nur die Hälfte kostet.

danke

Do you want an excellent stagemike? For what purpose?

 

[RockinRobin]

Yes I am after a great microphone for my live gigs. I play with a guitar only and my voice is the main part of the show, I have a low deep voice and play blues, folk, rythm'n'blues, soul, jazz. I play in pubs, restaurants, private events, anything really that's not a proper stage yet.

At the moment I'm using a dynamic MBHO MBD 219sc mic that is a great mic that can showcase the lows in my voice, but I want to upgrade and thought the SR40V might be the ticket. Then I heard about the Violet design Pearl vocal that got me intrigued. I love the studio mics from this company and don't know what to expect from their stage microphone. I understand it was released in 2008 so I am wondering why I can't find any information on it??

Anyway if you have some feedback I'd be very grateful

At the top end I would suggest DPA 4018V. I don't know the Pearl from my own experience, bit I can recommend the Audio Technica AE 5400 instead. I tested both the DPA and the AE 5400. Both very valuable.

Thanks for the recommendation. Exemples of the DPA I heard sound bland to me, very neutral yes but a bit boring, with a kind of behind-the-theater-curtain feel if that does mean anything to you

About the AE5400... yeah I feel it could work for me. I hear a kind of smoothness/lushness from top to bottom than reminds me of tubes vs fet. I feel it doesn't have as much resolution/detail/transients as other condenser mics, leaning a bit towards the dynamic mics compartiment. But that might actually be a good thing for me and what I play. It sounds not detailed, but big !

Do you feel the same about these mics or am I fooling myself?


BTW I currently use a MBHO MBD 219 sc dynamic mic, great handmade german mic. The AE5400 reminds me of it a bit, but bigger and more open.

The DPA is very accurate. I really liked it in practice. But it has a very high price. The AE 5400 naturally has all the advantages of the 4050 large diaphragm capsule, but is very feedback-proof. It even worked for Metallica. But in this category we talk about small advantages among each other. You can work well with both.
For readings, I prefer the Microtech Gefell M 900. The best mic for this purpose. And also from Germany.
