Runner-up for best budget drum overheads
Tried these out in a recording session and they sure give all the budget-class favorites like Rode M5 a run for their money.
I noted that the mics have a pretty hefty boost in the AIR area around 5-10 KHz, so the energy in cymbals was a bit too much in the recording done in a badly treated room.
After EQ'ing out some of the harshness caused by the boost, the result was pretty great in the end. Don't get scared of that - every mic usually needs a bit of EQ post-recording, so I didn't mind it. The mics brought the hi-hat out really nicely, if that's something you need in your recording setup.
Also had great results recording acoustic guitars and piano, where the top end boost kinda worked out better than on cymbals.
Overall for the price, I don't think you can beat these on a budget. Rode M5's are about the same price and they offer a more balanced frequency response, but overall I think the Lewitt's have way better detail and soundstage.
Highly recommended, awesome mics for the price. But be wary of the the treble boost! :-)
