The EV 635a - never forget the old faithfuls

Total sleeper mic.  I did some recording this last weekend, and the 635 was the bees knees for lead vox.  So darn smooth and just the right amount of everything.  This microphone has been around forever and can be used for a variety of sources.  Everything from vocals to guitar amps, and even snare drums.

Which brings me to the point of this post: don't get so wrapped up in the latest tech, that you forget how truly great some of the old tested & tried staples are.  Classic gear is "classic" for a reason.
