CM-60 Cardioid Condenser Microphone with Windscreen, Professional Instrument Mic, XLR Gold-Plated Diaphragm Sound Head Microphone for Studio, Instrument, Interview, Radio Stations, Broadcast

It's a good microphone for a low price. I recorded it at the same time while using a Neumann MCM 114 for acoustic guitar. The Neuman was a bit clearer but the Takstar surprisingly held its own. Not bad for a microphone that costs around $45 bucks compared to another that costs around $700 dollars. I highly recommend if you want to record good sounds and save some money.

Bom produto. Devido a seu espectro de frequências, considero mais indicado para metais e alguns instrumentos percursivos. Foi adquirido para ser utilizado na capitação de hi-hat. Discordo do fabricante indicar a possibildade de uso para voz, prefiro o clássico SM57. De maneira geral atende ao uso o qual definiu sua aquisição.

I use this TAKSTAR model to record everything from solo instruments to full orchestras. While it is a relatively small diaphragm unit the signal to noise ratio has been excellent and it handles quite high SPLs with no distortion. The frequency response, as shown in its spec sheet, is almost ruler flat from 20 Hz to 17 kHz with a broad rise of approx. 4 dB around 10 kHz, ensuring a completely natural, uncolored sound. The cardioid pattern and frequency response uniformity is very good, allowing these to work very well in an ORTF configuration. I have a $600 coincident dual-capsule condenser microphone, but I've found the CM-63 to provide slightly more extended low end and similar high-end. These have become my favorites for general recording! The case is nicely machined and painted, and material quality is excellent. I recommend this model without reservation for most any field or studio recording.

Good quality. Nice sound picked up. Solidly built.

Great drum overhead
