Very decent for the price
Andrew NeroH 13.07.2017
Has a nice bass frequency response.
I use it for bass drums and bass amps.

I also used it for making some foley effects for a short movie, which was nice for background effects and the mic doesn't pick up the high end, thus naturally sounding darker than condenser for example.

Speaking of which, it does sound quite dark I found, which is expected, but you'd need to play around with the EQ to get a good sound out of it. Then again, that's not necessarily a problem, I personally love EQing.

Anyway, a nice entry level mic.
If you're on a budget and you're into crafting your sound, you won't be limited by the capabilities of this mic.

Great Little Mic (I use it for a bass amp)
Anthony7199 23.04.2025
I bought this while a little tight on a budget. I heard that it's common enough to use bass drum mics for mic-ing a bass amp and decided to give it a try. I hooked it up, put it dead centre in front of the amp and haven't looked back. It captures the sound great. It captures the low end really really well. I was shocked with how good it sounded actually.

I actually bought another one to actually use on a bass drum, like its intended use, and I'm sure it will do an excellent job on that as well.

The build is very sturdy. Comes with a nice little soft case. Well worth the money in my opinion.

I also really like the little map of the frequency response drawn on the mic itself. It's a nice touch

Solid build and nice clean appearance. Damped integrated holder is a plus. Thumb screw wing big and easy to grab. Tight sound. High end yes, bottom yes but not a boomer (a good thing). This is a good universal mic to have in your sack and for the price don't think twice. Have this and the T bone kick mic and you'll have a number of differing applications covered.

Great value!
Anonymous 10.05.2016
This is one of four Superlux mic's I've bought,in this case for home recording....
In terms of sound I didn't expect it would match high end types and I don't think any other purchaser would either but it gives us noticeably better results than just plonking an SM of either type in front and for very little outlay....well worth considering if you're looking to get a bit closer to a "real" studio sound...its been well worth the relatively small outlay here...
