Customer Review Summary
Granelli Audio Labs G5790 Review
I purchased the Granelli Audio Labs G5790 primarily for miking snares and guitar amplifiers, typical scenarios where the classic SM57 is often employed.
Features:
The 90-degree angle of the G5790 significantly reduces its length, making it easier to position in tight spaces, especially between the snare and hi-hat. This design allows for precise aiming at the snare while minimising bleed from surrounding instruments.
When miking guitar amplifiers, the G5790 functions just like a standard SM57. One advantage is the cable routing, which runs along the microphone stand, creating an inverted L shape instead of a T, keeping the setup neat.
Sound:
In terms of sound, it delivers the classic SM57 tone, and if you’re familiar with the SM57, you’ll know what to expect. For further details, it might be worthwhile to consult reviews of the standard SM57.
Build Quality:
The build quality is robust, akin to that of the traditional SM57. The angle modification appears to be made from similar materials, contributing to a solid and durable feel.
Pros:
– The angled design is particularly beneficial for cramped spaces.
– Retains the proven sound quality of the SM57.
– Well-constructed and sturdy.
Cons:
– The price is noticeably higher than a standard SM57.
Conclusion:
The Granelli G5790 is a more practical variant of the SM57. If budget allows, it can be invaluable in specific situations. While it saves a few centimetres in length, which is advantageous in crowded setups, there are other microphones that take up even less space. For those who are dedicated SM57 users, this model offers a slight improvement, albeit at a premium price. Overall, it is a solid addition, providing the same quality and reliability, with the added benefit of greater flexibility in positioning. An excellent choice for those with space constraints and a preference for traditional sound.
