MIX MAGAZINE ST69 REVIEW BY GEORGE PETERSEN

Download the full text of the review of the Sterling Audio ST69 by audio expert George Petersen. He'll tell you:
"With a low $599 street pricing, I was initially skeptical about the Sterling ST69. But it sounds great and would serve equally well in a large studio collection or as a single mic that can handle almost any recording application"

Jim has rocked with Avril Lavigne, Weezer, Paul Stanley (KISS), Poison, Rebekah, Cher, Shakira and more.

@MRsLee24

Read your manual dude, we don't know what kind of mic you have-

-all mics can be used with a preamp

-most of the time you dont need phantom power (48V) on the preamp if your mic uses a power supply.

-check your cables and your interface cause most of the time thats what causes static

[MikefromMesia]

Those are all good tips, plus ...use a pop filter!
