    Awesome microphone. If you don't believe me, just head over to YouTube and listen to the hundreds of reviews people have posted over there.

    This mic requires some setup and knowledge of audio routing and pc sound settings. It's not a good "1st mic". That being said, if you don't mind setting it up you have a very powerful piece of equipment. You don't get this level of control with any other piece of software or mic.

    Great sound quality, probably needs a boom to keep desk noise from getting into the recording, otherwise use RTX Studio
