Nothing beats compression on the way in
HobbyRx Posted 4 years ago
This unit sounds great, I use it in conjunction with my Korg NTS1 reverb. The analog compression works wonders on the voice and it is probably the best USB mic on the market today. My only gripe is that it cannot be used without a computer. I would like if it could function with only a USB power brick, so that the audio can be sent via the headphone output. With that said, it is class-compliant, so it can be used with phones, tablets, and computers.

Solid Mic

I like the mic. Solid form factor and easy to use. Plug n play and ready on the go. The compression settings makes a difference. A bit pricey

It’s a pretty good usb microphone but it’s very expensive and the paint chips. Hoping it’ll prove worthwhile with it’s convenience.

Poor microphone; does not live up to the hype. :(

Please reconsider purchasing this microphone! The biggest selling point; (aka. the built-in compression) is a huge headache! It is terrible- I would never use it over a digital plug-in! I wish I could return this.. T_T

BardoEdgardo Posted 4 years ago
Bought this in early 2020 and the lighting to micro usb cable broke mid 2021. Honestly it’s impossible to find one of those wires cheap or at all. They do hace one on their website but its over priced. Honestly just wish they used USB C
