Review: Bella ripresa del charly. Suono cristallino nonostante il costo di questo microfono non sia eccessivo.
Review: Microphone professionnel à condensateur. Idéal pour la prise de son instruments, voix de choeur, Batterie, etc. Le son est très propre (AKG est une référence mondiale pour la prise de son) et ce modèle pas très cher donne un son de qualité professionnel. J'en possède plusieurs pour mes sonorisations de chorale, je le recommande fortement pour son utilisation souple.
