I’ve got this mic!
I got it from Long & McQuade a few years ago. It’s OK! It’s kind of UA’s version of the Shure SM7b, so it’s sort of a broadcasty/podcast close-talking mic. I’ve used it on some voiceover stuff and under snares. I grabbed a desk-boom stand thing so I always have it beside me if I get vocal ideas, so I don’t have to set up a mic stand. Decent mic for the money! And you can use UA mic modelling. Doesn’t sound like a large diaphragm condenser at all though, obviously.

@bgm@musicians.today Thanks for the feedback! My condenser mic is good but sounds kinda cold and sterile. Very accurate and clinical. Almost too much. Tried tweaking in the DAW. And my SM58 I find challenging with getting proximity dialed in. It’s much warmer but the plosives are sometimes wicked. Maybe I’ll try the SM58 in the stand with the pop screen. Usually I hand hold the 58, so I’ll see if I can make it work.
