Review: Good edition to my hardware - I thought that it’s body was plastic until I unboxed it, and it’s a pretty dope sounding mic too. Would recommend anyone looking for an XLR microphone. Worth the price imo Update: I dont recommend to buy this mic anymore because of the price spike, I’d recommend you to wait until COVID is over and the stocks get back to their MSRP
Review: On par with high end mics - If you’re looking for a microphone that captures everything in high detail? This is exactly what you’re looking for. It has a slightly warmer tone but very usable it’s very close to high end microphones like the Neumann microphones. But if you have a room that is noisy like fan noises or roommate shouting or family members making noise It will catch that too, why? because that’s how condenser microphones are, If you are worried about that then a dynamic microphone will be more suitable. Also if you’re room is treated with acoustic panels, it wil Be more effective to use this microphone. I currently use the shure sm7DB cuz I have a noisy brother in the room. But if I had my own room I would definitely go for a condenser microphone like this. Solely because of its high sensitivity in capturing the most detail in sound making your recording as close to real as it can get. If you’re looking for quality then this is it. Note: condenser microphones uses phantom power 48v Else it will not work, so make sure your mixer, audio interface, go XLR have a 48v button to engage the microphone.
