A great microphone for recording brass instruments. I’m super enthusiastic about my new Dachman microphone. The first time I used it was for a video recording of the first of Johannes Brahms 4 Ernstige Gesänge. The microphone made it possible to use my live dynamic range on my bass trombone in my playing. The sound is very natural, full with harmonics and making my instrument sound very vocal. If you google Ben van Dijk plays Brahms you will find my recording.

Easy to order Easy to order. Microphone packaging was good looking and protective. Mic sounds great! Very happy with this purchase.

In comparison to my Neumann U87ai In comparison to my Neumann U87ai, the Dachman does not hold up or deliver on its’ promise. It is down at least 9 db in level and sounds dull by comparison. It’s not a terrible mic and may find use if I need an extra mic, but it would be far from my first choice.

Repeat customer and will buy again Repeat customer and will buy again. Great products, great prices, and great pre-sale support with all questions answered. Microphone capsules from Dachman sound better than more expensive units from other sources. Quality and sound between identical models is very consistent.

great mic great mic, but didn't get the shockmount -Update: The company responded the day I posted this review and sent me the shockmount, good service!
