IS IT GOOD FOR VOCALS?

[soundpurestudios]

@anatol1204 It can be excellent for vocals- it really depends on the type of music that you are doing, the mic that you are pairing it with, and the vocalists sound- guess in that way it's like any great mic pre with a great sound of its own. With the right pairing, it is phenomenol. We'd enjoy learning more about your studio, and helping you select the best possible preamp (and other combinations) for your setup. IF you want, you can e-mail us at audio@soundpure(dot)com and we can help now!

The MP-2A is a GREAT mic pre! :-)

[soundpurestudios]

@JohnLRice Absolutely!

In your video, every time you showed the Neumanns, we only saw one mic in front. The other mic's you used, were showing the X-Y pattern and both up front. Can you tell us where you put the other KM184? I am recording classical guitars, how do these mic's and this pre work on nylon strings, finger style classical?

[soundpurestudios]

@billjodi5 The second mic on the left (players right) is positioned over the shoulder pointing downward towards the body of the instrument, creating a very wide and massive sound. If you watch our video on the KM184's, we discuss this positioning specifically. The 184's do a lovely job on classical guitar, and the MP2A has a certain brightness and tube sparkle about it. Obviously you will get the fleshy, warm sound of a Nylon, but acoustically, the transients will sound a lot like this video

i'am planing to buy a blue bluebird mic, but i don't know what preamp to buy or what audio interface (presonus firesstudio has a preamp but i guess it 's better to buy a preamp also)

[soundpurestudios]

It is always best to pair your microphones with an optimal preamp, based on your recording application. Depending on what you are specifically recording may change what we would recommend. Give us a ring toll free at 888-528-9703 (or e-mail sales-at-soundpure-dot-com), and we will gladly help you choose the best gear based on your application when we learn more about what you are doing. Your intuition is right that the onboard preamps on audio interfaces are OK, but nothing like this.
