This is NOT such a junk mike as you may think ... I got one off Ebay because I was looking for a cheap stereo mike to record live practise sessions easily ...quality wasn't a real issue.
Yesterday I was doing some test of mikes suitable for recording acoustic guitar .. I have a Tacoma DR14 that sounds very 'bell' like and it is hard to get a flat sound with any mike in my box .... so probably because I'd run out of options I plugged in the Sony 99B and it worked a treat with the Tacoma better than the condensor mikes even.
I shall do some more experiments with it on other instruments ....it's always worth trying to record something with several mikes.
Recently I sold all my Shure SM58 mikes because I did a comparison recording against a Beyer TG-X58 and 48 ...the Shures were out classed and so out they went. I now have half a dozen Beyer mikes and I don't miss the SM58's.
