The BC12a ended up being way too bright on me. I think this will stick a fork in me trying to get a C12/251 style mic to work on my voice. I did basically like the mic though. Build quality felt great. Noise floor was a little higher than I would have liked but I don’t think it would have been truly problematic. I’m used to my 67 which is like dead silent, so a lot of other mics’ self noise tend to stick out to me. I am sorry this did not work for you. Was this the tube version? Mine has the brightness I expect and it is sweet. Not for my voice though - I prefer a 47. But for some voices and instruments, yes. I did not notice much noise. The only 251ish mic I liked on my voice was the Soundelux 251, but even then I would take my Heiserman 47tube over it.

I remember reading a certain Producer-pretty famous-sorry I forget who... Said they tried a Primo C12 on Smokey Robinson and it was so wrong. Smokey's "usuals" include 67/87/414 Brass capsule. (Found an old 80's performance and the Sennheiser 431, smoked his other live mics) I guess "Horses for Courses" again.* Chris *Similar to a Ref C on me.
