Sound character

The C1000S is often described as bright and highly detailed. Some engineers appreciate that extra presence for speech, hi-hats, percussion, and live sound, while others find it somewhat harsh on certain voices or instruments. Community opinions are notably divided, which is why auditioning one before purchase is ideal.
