  • @SONGSTICKS Yes, any mic will pick up bleed from other instruments, voice, etc. But it's not usually a problem, anymore than having a mic on a stand in front of the guitar. James Taylor has been using one of these, for example, and it doesn't seem to cause a problem with him singing.

  • Can you use t his to get isolation on the guitar (that is, only get the guitar and not the vocal when recording both) in a studio setting?

  • Excellent demo and sounds very nice.. but I think $599 is a tad steep !!

    You could buy a Rare earth pickup for much much less and would sound every bit as good, if not better. I also noticed at one point when you brought the mic in, it picked up your talking voice. I would imagine when singing and in a crowded place you'd get lots of overspill and possibly feedback problems. Great for home recording though.

    I'd buy one but not at THAT price !!

  • Awesome video Great Review thanks!

    Just about everything I need to hear/know.

  • It would have much more useful to hear the mic on its own first then blended with the pick up - this video isn't much use for hearing what this mic is like

  • @MidouBanChan No, its designed like a tiny shotgun mic. It's specifically to cut out things like ambient or background noise and instruments near to your own.

  • if i'm singing while playing, will the microphone pick up on the vocals?

  • @mariopainthero11 There are several different companies that manufacture soundhole mics. Check out K&K trinity.
