Reviewed by Thomas on B&H Photo Video

Top build quality and performance. (not using the splosives filter). Noticeably more sensitive, as expected, from a dynamic mic (eg, Shure 58). Sweet sound. (set up includes dbx 286s; needs less gain than a dynamic mic from the 286 or audio interface).

Perfect for Home Studio

In this age of home-office teleconferencing high audio quality is a must. This system delivers awesome audio for a reasonable cost. I am also using it for video voice-over work and podcast production and I could not be more satisfied.

It worked right out of the box (after I figured out that the left dial was also an on off button) and I sound much better than I did. Bring it on! Then my musical child needed to record something and I have the equipment to do so. Really solid and nicely done. Her guitar teacher is jelly.

Sounds and works amazingly!

There is no better mic in this price range/category. And this bundle offers great value for someone setting up there first recording space because these required items are much more expensive if purchase individually.

Reviewed by Chantal on B&H Photo Video

I upgraded to this mic after trying several others I already owned. I didn't think the upgrade would be so impressive. I use this mic with the Scarlett Focusrite to record a rather soft and weak female voice in the studio. The sound is powerful and perfectly free of background noise.

Quality Plain and Simple

This is not THE cheapest mic, but I wanted to forego the usb initial mic for vocal recording and I have not regretted it in the slightest. If you can afford it and are serious about wanting to hit an impressive sound quality level this is a very good choice.

Sensitive mic

Reviewed by Steven on B&H Photo Video

I'm surprised how sensitive this mic is. Compared to my Shure handheld dynamic mic, I can put the gain way lower and still pick up softer sounds. I haven't noticed any noise coming form the mic, either. The reason for 4 stars is that the fidelity of the recorded sound is not the greatest.

Warm frequency response and great tone overall for low price
