Hugeness times infinity, that is the
sound of the e300. This large diaphragm condenser mic has 3 selectable patterns,
a hi-pass filter set at 135hZ (that’s a great choice for voice work, I reach
there all the time!), a pad of -20dB as well as an on / off switch (not a normal feature for a solid state
phantom powered microphone, but the e300 actually uses rechargeable batteries
internally so it makes sense, phantom power from your preamp is actually
supplying the batteries).. The size of this mic is big, trust me it gets
comments when it is up on the stand. It’s a monster in size and sound though.
The self noise of the mic is small though, it sure is quiet.
On voice the e300 reaches deep down,
and pulls out all of the chest-y low end and girth associated with BIG vocals. Voice
over work and singers will love the even sound, but huge-ness that is achieved
simply by working the mic. It never showed any real sibilance issues either on
voice. For acoustic instruments a slightly mid / low-mid forward sound and more
bigness to be had, with an even top that delivers air but isn’t overly sparkly
either. Drums are going to be super sized by the e300 as well as delivering
lots of room detail, having multiple patterns make it a great choice for
overhead or room use.
Conclusion: A seriously sizeable
sound is ready to be had with the e300, one of the bigger sounding mics on the
market in this price range. I’d still put it in the workhorse mic category, although
it does have a bit of a specific sound to it, most people do want things to
sound BIGGER.
