Reviewer Background
:
I have been playing guitar & keys for about 30 years. I sing as well.
I have recorded in the late 70's, 4 track tapes and stuff.... Recently I bought a Zoom MRS4, it's cheap and compact, and allows me to record on the fly wherever I am. I plan to acquire a 16 or more simultaneous recording track console, since I have been asked to record jazz combos live or live studio. I know I could work on a PC or mac, but I have been in IT for the last 20 years, and enough is enough ;-)
I have a pair of unbranded (read : chinese) studio monitors, they sound OK, and a few headphones, mainly Sennheiser.

The 671 is a dynamic hypercardioid mike, I do not have the specs anymore.
I bought it new in 1976.
Did a lot of stage work with it, bloody reliable.
The capsule was ruined once due to extremely rough treatment, and replaced within the week by the Belgian distributor. Very good job.
It is a true vocalist mike, used (in those days) by many a professional.
When I bought it, I did not know a thing about mikes, let alone brands. I bought it because the owner of my guitarshop (Hill's Music, Brussels) told me it was a very good mike. If anyone is honest in this business, this is the guy !!!
