Really like this mic

Thobias 14.10.2019

Really like this mic on different sources. Use it a lot on vocals (mostly in combination with any other dynamic or condensor mic), sometimes on percussive stuff or on BV with a lot of distance/room to create a different sound. Prefer the the 520DX over the Superlux D112 C, although the Superlux is much cheaper. There was always something in the frequency range (high mids) I did not like with the Superlux. If you are looking for something extra, with a perfectly balanced narrow frequency range, this is the thing. For me, a mic like the 520DX works a lot better than EQ-ing a 'standard' mic on a pré-amp or with a plugin in your DAW. Just set it up next to another mic, check the phase and your done.
No experience with harp however.

PRO: nice in combination with other mic's for a ton of purposes. Great built quality. Great value for money.
CONS: have to drive it hard on your pre-amp. Little noisy, but that can also be a benefit for what it may be used for. It has no shockmount. I use a Rycote (or an MXL).

Great mic option

FinnGall 28.01.2020

For harmonica, this is excellent. I used to play in a band in which the singer used this as the harmonica mic and can confirm the sound quality is great. I use the same mic in a studio environment when I want that high pass and low pass lo-fi sound. It really is great to create that sound but you will need quite a bit of pre-amp gain since the output of the mic is pretty low. I've used it to record guitar amps too as a special effect and it really works so well every time.

Very good product, strong, reliable and provides you a good ol' sound, maybe a little heavy (about 700 gr). Also good to amplify mr pearl bass drum

The choice of professionals

boringbob 20.01.2019

I got this for the bands new harmonica player. It does what it is supposed to do, but the built in volume control could cause issues on stage until you get a feel for it, unless you have an out front engineer. Highly recommended.
