“…the most striking thing about the sound of the Reference Silver is its bass response, which is not only prominent by also seems to extend practically to DC…its sub-100Hz response is absolutely thunderous. As a room mic on drums, for example, it may leave you feeling there’s no need to close-mic the kick drum.”
“There’s smoothness in abundance…I particularly liked it on strummed acoustic guitar, where it produces a lovely rounded tone without any aggravating brassiness.”
“…it often shines on sources where you might not expect to use a premium valve mic at all: snare drums, electric guitars and so on.”
