In a studio setting or live application, the Milab DC-96C side-addressed large membrane microphone,never ceases to impress. With it's origins dating back to the 1960's, one of Milabs most iconic microphones receives some cutting-edge updates ensuring that the DC- series microphones continue to perform at the highest level. In fact, Resolution Magazine said that the Milab DC-96C “is a great example of how a classic design can and should be reinvigorated.” The DC-96C is suitable for a wide range of applications, including studio vocals, acoustic guitar and piano, hi-hats and overheads, guitar amps and more.
“These mics picked up the body and depth of the soul of the instrument beautifully. […] The low end that the Milabs capture is absolutely stunning as well. There were moments where I couldn’t believe how richly the mic captured the bass of the guitar.”–Recording Hacks
