The AKG Solidtube is a large diaphragm tube based condenser microphone that is designed for use in the recording studio. As is the case with all tube condenser mics, I wouldn't recommend using this mic anywhere outside of the studio, meaning they aren't designed for live sound. The mic comes with its own power supply and shock mount.
OVERALL OPINION
While I don't own an AKG Solidtube, I recently used it at a recording studio and have to say that I was pretty impressed. I used it on both lead vocals and acoustic piano and found that this mic excelled well with both applications. It is great for close micing in order to get a richer and more detailed sound. While it isn't my favorite tube microphone, it is definitely quite respectable and does have a great tone quality. While I haven't had the chance to use it for more applications, I'm confident that I would be able to find a number of other ones that this would work well for. It is definitely a rich sounding microphone and is perfect for anything where you would want to capture some depth in a sound. The price of the mic is about right for a mic of this stature and is accessible to both home and professional studio owners. It is right in the middle of being a high quality microphone in terms of price range as it won't cost more than other tube mics out there, but it is really a give and take here. If you are a home studio owner looking for an all in one tube mic without spending a couple of grand, this is a great choice for you. It would also be a good choice for the professional who is looking to expand their collection without spending the money it would take to get a top tier tube mic. All in all, AKG Solidtube is a great tube mic and is one that I would definitely recommend checking out.
