Violet Black Knight

This microphone is in totally different league than most of the products at the same price. The sound of Black Knight is open, warm, full of details and very natural and close. Everything is perfectly balanced even when using pop-filter.

The $669 Grand Pearl is a unique bird: a mid-sized diaphragm condenser, originally designed for live use. Although I admit I'm skeptical of the Grand Pearl™s ability to not close its head during rigorous on-stage use or not sustain damage to its narrowly attached capsule housing sphere while engaged in performance ” I do like it for pleasant coloration in the studio. It has a nice, full sound that is far from flat, but quite useful paired with appropriate sources.
