Amazing Mic

This is an extremely good condenser mic. I have tried a bunch of different ones for recording purposes. This one is amazing. When you listen to the recording back, you almost feel the person is standing right next to you. The sound is amazing. This is a definate must have microphone for anyone looking to record vocals, or instrumental.

Cheaply made. Sound quality is ok.

Paid so much money on this and they can't even use a decent metal screw for the mount. It's way too late for me to return it. I had this for over a year and I finally decided to replace my old one and use this for my desk. Screw broke right away. Darn thing is not even metal. For the price, they could at least use something better.

    This is a great mic at any price, there is no job that I couldn't get done with this mic. It's well made and comes with a pop filter, shock mount, a non shock mount, a Polish cloth and some paper work including a graph showing the frequency response of the mic and some recording tips in case you're new to the game. It's worth reading even if you're not new to the game. There is no hard case but it does come in a sturdy box that is just going to sit on a shelf anyway so I'm not worried about it not protecting the mic. I hate to mention the money because like I said it's a great mic at any price, but you simply cannot go wrong with this one.

  • Great Microphone

    I love the crisp sound of this mic! You can't beat the price and it's ability is endless. I would recommend it to anyone who is starting up their own home studio. Excellent for vocals, acoustic instruments and even for Foley artists.

  • Super voice capabilities

    I just purchased this microphone and have been actively using it in my temp studio. The voice clarity is great and with the ati-pop grid, it is an awesome addition to my collection of studio equipment. Highly recommended.

    Basically any source of phantom power. Either via a mixer that has it built in, or we sell standalone units that offer it.
