AKG D 310S

Hi just want your opinions on the AKG D310S.

 

just aquired 2 of these mics.

 

What application are they intended for ??

Someone compared them to sm57`s

 

We wish to use them for vocals in a studio situation and for spoken word>

 

Also a few months ago I bought some Shure C606`s , only cost £6 each plus vat..

 

Really impressed with perfornance and quality considering cheap price point ..

The 310 (and 320 & 330 ) were quite respectable vocal / instruments mics in the 70s and 80s (ish). You may well find some online videos of Abba using the 330 as a vocal mic.

 

I had a brace of them, but some oik nicked them from a locked room at Minehead Butlins. I still miss them ;-)
