The EV "Raven"by Craver The Raven is a stylish dynamic microphone designed to capture the character of live and studio vocals. It is also the perfect microphone for live and studio instruments. The Raven incorporates the collaborative design work from the top industry microphone engineers to provide unparalleled performance in a stunning package. I recently put The Raven through our rigorous, real-world test. We used the mic during 20 open mics in Atlanta. We played in a wide-variety of rooms, small, large, acoustically friendly, and 'not so much'. The Raven held up to our challenge. This outstanding mic accentuates the warmth and clarity of lead and back-up vocals alike, and has consistently received accolades from the many open mic performers that have used The Raven during our test. If you're looking for style, durability and great sound, The Raven from EV is a great choice.
