Your recording 'space' and 'preamp' are going to contribute as much to the sound your are capturing as that mic. It's a capable large diaphragm unit.

Please tell us more about your recording 'setup' and 'goals'.


As I said at the start, the P220 is having issues - its starts crackling when it gets humid.
I've been using the P220 and an older MXL multi-pattern LDC when I want to do 2 mic acoustic guitar recording, otherwise I use just the P220.
My interface is a Focusrite 6i4, JBL LSR305 monitors, 11'x15'x7.5' foot room with quite a bit of rockwool trapping. I have self-recorded/released 5 albums of music that varies from simple acoustic + vocals to full-on rock songs.
Just looking to continue to be able to record with low-noise and accurate sound.
