The mic does a wonderful job of capturing vocals. I found the mic's bass roll-off to work well with vocals, sucking out the low-frequency muddiness without eating into the body of the vocal sound. Acoustic guitars record brilliantly with the MA-301fet. While I found the mic's forte to be vocals and acoustic guitars, the MA-301fet works well in nearly any situation.

But with the AES Convention is in New York City, in the presence of Broadway, the best-known theatrical district in the world, it only made sense for the Live Sound Track to take advantage of that proximity and present insights and knowledge from the city's top theatrical live sound pros. Such was the case Saturday, as a number of them assembled for the early morning panel, “Design Meets Reality: The A2s and Production Sound Mixer’s Challenges, Obstacles and Responsibilities for Loading in and Implementing the Sound Designer’s Concept.” On hand for the panel were moderator Christopher Evans, Benedum Center; Collie Bustin, Ires-Partners; Paul Garrity, Auerbach and Associates; Dominic Sack, Sound Associates; Scott Leher, Scott Leher Sound Design; Christopher Sloan, production engineer, The Book of Mormon.
