Thanks for that review. Like I said, for $300 I'm not expecting a Neumann, but decent quality, and an upgrade from the Superlux CM-H8A that I currently have, which is also a cheap Chinese mic, but has an okay sound, but I would prefer to have a another mic for stereo recordings with a little different color on the second mic. I'm currently using Martins Thinline pick up on one guitar, and a Goldline pickup on another, for my secondary channel, where I'd prefer to use the V69 to replace them both for recording...I think I'd get a better sound with the V69 over either pickup.
I also have a neice who plays the harp, and I'd like to get some decent recordings of her...so the V69 would be used for that as well.
So the V69 fits that bill for me...I think. I'm not running a pro studio, but a private studio mostly for my own needs, with an occassional folk singer or two....who have their own mics anyway. So I don't need a large collection of high priced mics at this time.
From the sound samples I've heard of the V69, it should work fine for me, without breaking my budget...a $1,000 -1,500 for a mic is out of the question for me.
