Peluso 2247 Le or other vocal mic?

[brodgind]

Has anyone used this mic?? Is it anything like the c12, or is a gimic piece of boat anchor junk? Looking for a vocal mic with a little more warmth than the 4050's I'm using now in the $1000-$2000 range. Thoughts are welcome...

Peluso mics are awesome and the 2247 in particular is a stellar sounding mic regardless of the price.

They may not be every one's cup of tea, but they are certainly not a gimic piece of boat anchor junk.

The pelusos are good mics. If you're looking for a c12 flavored mic, the P12 is the one you want.

I am actually about to demo a 2247LE today or tomorrow hopefully. I'll let you know what I find.

Good news so far!!! If I get a few more good reviews like these, I go ahead and pick on up...

I din't use the 2247 on these tracks, but if you want to hear some other Peluso's in action, check this out:

Allie’s vox- Peluso 22-251
Drum OHs- Peluso CEMC6 (pair)

No EQ applied to the vox, just compression and a bit too much reverb here and there but that's what the job called for...

I use one for all my vocals at home. It is an awesome mic! Did you see that one for sale on www.gearslutz.com ? They are asking 1500

 

[xstatic]

$1500 is almost what they cost new.

I'm suprised they're not selling it more than they are new because its from a gearslutz member.
