Not a session goes by that I don't find a use for this versatile microphone with its multi-pattern functions. I find it works well for capturing room ambience, close-miking acoustic guitars and male vocals. The Z5600a II is a mic that you could just leave up in your tracking room. Troy Van Leeuwen, guitarist (Queens Of The Stone Age, A Perfect Circle). If you are at all considering this mic, don't even think. It is definitely a multi-talented mic that sounds great on vocals and on many other instruments as well. It is a'smooth and dimensional sounding' mic with some'air' that isn't raspy or gritty like some overseas built mics can be. This is a lotta mic for the coin. Lots of patterns, tube, big sound. I found it awfully useful on male vocals and anything else that needs to sound bigger than it actually is. The sound is quite'tuby' and as others have said it works well on male vocals to give it that thick sound. Using a quite clean preamp it still cuts through in the mix without needing a lot of EQ. Plenty of body and warmth and a slightly smoothed-out high end. Paul White, Sound On Sound. Been using a pair of these for about a year and half...I absolutely love them as room mics (and the polar pattern options help if you are in a MS or Blumlein mode)... Wonderful on female vocalists as well - it has won a shocking amount of shoot outs.
Everything an LDC should do this does extremely well. It is the RIGHT tool!!! Not a session goes by that I don't find a use for this versatile microphone...
