cosmicguss 1.0Giving away my trade secrets here, but I respect the thread. Hesitant to say because they’re still super affordable, but the old EV DS35’s are killer dynamic mics with a tight pickup pattern and really great off-axis rejection. Really smooth in the top yet super detailed and interesting/charactery sounding. Surely I’m not the first but I’m the only engineer I’ve ever seen or heard of using them on snare (but the preamp I use is special sauce there too though), I consistently get high praise on my raw snare sound; I occasionally use them on electric or acoustic tracking, and I also use one as my main vocal mic for myself. I use 635’s all over the place too but to me the DS35 is one of the last super affordable slept-on vintage EV mics.
