Audio-Technica PRO 37 Small Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone
Reviewed by Guilherme Fonseca on Guitar Center
I`ve been using a Pro37 for the last three years and just bought the second one now. They are just fantastic for acoustic guitar. Why didn`t I buy a second one before???They seem to get all the beautiful side of hi frequencies without the brittle sound. Now, with a pair of them, I`m VERY happy with the stereo images I`ve bee able to capture. I also use it a lot together with an Sm-57 to record eletric guitars.(This litlle thing handles a lot of pressure!!) Plug it to any decent micpre and enjoy the ride! Totally Pro!
Good low cost microphone

I use pro37 for the situations such as recording a big jazz band where each player needs a microphone. I also use this microphone for recording strings and vocals in addition to for horns and drums. In another words, this is an all round microphone. I currently have 7 of this microphone. I will buy more of pro37 as the number of channels of my recorder increases. Goods: 1; Not much colored frequency response. I mix with Earthworks SR20s when I need a larger number of microphones. Sounds from both microphones are nearly undistinguishable in many cases. 2. Good off axis frequency response. 3. Not conspicuous at live recordings. 4. Low cost Negatives: 1. Higher noise floor. This microphone is not usable at distant positions like tens of feet away. But, at proximity positions like within a few feet from the sound source, the microphone noises are not audible in most cases. 2. No brand name value - not usable for people who love Neumann. ...

Excellent Pro 37 mic by A-T delivers!

I heard about this mic from reading interviews with recording engineers in TapeOp mag. It seemed to be a well regarded secret weapon so I was intrigued enough to buy one. The price is certainly great. I tested this mic running through a FWRAudio RNP (pre) & RNC (comp) combo via a MOTU 828 then into GarageBand. It was up against my German Sennheiser e614 and my Russian Oktava MK_012-01, both similar mics. The Pro 37 is very small and light, but seemed ultra high quality. I tested it on acoustic guitar and also voice. I thought it sounded wonderful! It had as much detail as the Oktava, but more bass response; a richer, fuller sound. The AT had more warmth than the Senn, which is also detailed, but a slightly dull mic. So I am pleased, certainly for the money! I plan on using the Pro37 on the 12th fret neck position recording acoustic, w/ the Oktava on the body. I've read the Pro37 is also killer on guitar cabs for electrics too, so I'll be trying that soon. ... More
Great compact instrument mic

We now have four Audio-Technica Pro 37's. They are used in a house of worship setting for instruments, two on the piano and two that rotate picking up the bell choir and occasionally micing other instruments such as guitars and cellos. On occasion they have even been used for voice. We find the Pro 37 to be a versatile condenser microphone that has never let us down. I really can't find anything negative to report. Over all a great small microphone to have in your stable.
Nothing fancy--decent studio quality at a low cost

This is my second Pro37, to use as a stereo pair. These are my go-to small-diaphragm condensers for home recording. To my ears they sound especially good going through a tube mic-pre. You're not gonna get the cream/warmth of a vintage KM 84, just a basic transparent sound that gets the job done. My first one cost $130 several years ago, so AT raised the price a bit. Still worth it I think.

This is the second time I am writing a review on PRO37. This microphone became less attractive since the price is doubled recently. I currently have 8 of them. I will purchase several more if the price drops to below $$again.
A must for your home studio

I use this microphone to record my acoustic guitar, as well as for micing my half stack to get exactly the sound I want. It sounds great, has a crisp quality to it, and I've heard of others using this for overhead micing on drums. If you do this use the xy pattern to eliminate phase cancellation, and your mix will sound better. For this price, it is a great stocking stuffer.
Compact

Reviewed by Jerome on Guitar Center
It's a compact unit, designed to capture the higher frequencies that my large diaphragm condenser mic was not. It's operating voltage (phantom power) is between 11 and 52 Volts, so it's range is a bit wider. I haven't given it the official test yet, but if the spec sheets lend and insight to this mic, it should perform well.
Great for bass singers.

I bought 2 of these pencil condensers as a stereo pair. I have tried them out on acoustic guitar and they sound great. I am waiting to to try them out as overheads for recording drums. I did use one to record harmony vocals and was surprised at how good it sounded. Good stuff.
Great sound.
