Frequently Asked Questions

The SR314 is more transparent and less hyped than the KMS 105; it's a more 'accurate' representation of the vocal, whereas the Neumann adds a certain warmth and character.
While it handles high SPLs, its neutrality might lack the flattering coloration some metal vocalists prefer; it'll capture *everything*, so be prepared to work with it in the mix.
It’s true they prioritize accuracy, but 'clinical' is a bit harsh; it's more like a pristine window to the vocal – you'll hear every detail, good or bad, so technique and mic placement are crucial.
