    Arrived Broken

    Bought this microphone because it seemed like a solid cheap xlr option. The microphone came broken. If you look in the pic, the entire mic assembly is broken inside the shell. The return period was 14 days I guess and now I’m stuck with an unreturnable paperweight.

    Audio quality is great. I would recommend a shock mount as this picks up any touches around the mic

    This microphone is fantastic. Once I upgraded my setup with this microphone I heard such a difference. Handheld microphones can do the trick but when you need the clean sound you have to turn to one of these. And you cant beat the price!

    Pretty decent mic in general, good mic for the price. Although the mic has a good amount of distortion, it’s not much when compared to other mics at the price point. Not an SM7B but better than an SM57 for vocals.

    I use this with a microphone preamp activator, and it works great. Would definitely suggest using at a 45 degree angle from your mouth to deal with plosives.

    Great mic, easy to use and my colleagues couldn’t hear my dogs barking. Do not it does not come with cords so you want to grab the cables when you purchase it if you don’t have them.
