Worth well more than its price

On the recommendation of a well-known record producer, I picked up a P170 for recording hi hats - and boy, was he right! Very clear and clean, maintains the pitch and clarity extremely well.

Great mic's

I use these mic's in my studio. I have a hybrid drum kit (e-drums, but use Acoustic cymbals). I have the hi hats, two crash cymbals and ride cymbal mic'd with the P170s and they work like a charm and provide crisp clear sound. I do have each one on its own channel on the sound board. Love these mics.
