The "8" is the polar pattern.

That mic is killer for the money ($100-$150) . Nice work

[@tjkcivic]

Thanks, bro, i agree!!

Tanner has some pipes and is pitch perfect, if it doesn't sound good, it's the mic. I was typing this when your vid went from the lapel mic to the MXR. It sounds like a ribbon, warm and mellow. I'd be interested in hearing something after an EQ.

[@tjkcivic]

Yeah, i tend to drop the bass and raise the treble slightly in EQ, but at flat, it still sounds pretty good. another guy commented on a pop filter, and yeah, it's needed and helps a bit too. Fun mic, though!

Might wanna use a pop filter... they're cheap sure... but no reason to blow your ribbon with plosives...

[@tjkcivic]

Yeah, i go back and forth with the pop filter, i think it's go for this one.
