Frequently Asked Questions
The flexible gooseneck allows you to position the mic for focused vocals or wider room capture; experiment to find your sweet spot.
The fader makes blending the signals simple, but mastering the tonal balance takes some experimentation – start with subtle adjustments.
While it doesn't perfectly replicate a high-end studio mic, the Rare Earth’s mic provides a surprisingly natural acoustic tone, especially when blended with the humbucker's clarity.
