4 out of 5 stars Sony MS957 single-point stereo microphone   August 10, 2004
 20 out of 20 found this review helpful

The MS957 is a reliable performer for serious amateur and semi-professional use. It has two settings for stereo sound field width. The narrower (90 degrees) gives good spacial positioning; in the wide setting, peripheral sounds are captured with good definition, but central sounds are sometimes not so well localised. The MS957 copes well with the sound levels from most natural sources from individual instruments to full orchestras, but I would not use it in a heavily amplified environment such as a rock concert. At the other end of the scale, I have seen the MS957 recommended for wildlife recordings, although the microphone internal noise levels are not the lowest in this class. Listening tests show the high-frequency response to be very good, but perhaps with a little "grating" on close violin recording. The only real reservation I have concerns the low frequency response. The specifications give 50Hz as the low -3dB point, which is a little high for percussion and some other low instruments, but the overall impression is that the MS957 is somewhat light in the bass. That said, it is probably the best general-purpose stereo microphone in its price range for musicians. One minor niggle - the thread on the clip is non-standard, designed to fit the table-top stand, and two flimsy plastic thread adaptors are supplied to convert to standard microphone stand threads. These adaptors jam and break, even with careful usage. Overall - recommended. PDR
