I grabbed the DA 87i microphone on a whim, and boy, it knocked my socks off. The sound is insanely clean and the noise floor is practically non-existent. The highs? They're like glass, clear and smooth. When I first plugged it in, I was honestly floored. I thought I'd need to spend thousands more to get this kind of quality. It's like finding a hidden gem. And it handles EQ and saturation like a dream. I'm absolutely thrilled with it. Can't wait to see what these guys come up with next!
