Its a decent microphone for the price. Definitely not good for recording adr (voiceover), I tested the microphone for adr and I ended up using my Sony boom microphone instead. It's built solid and heavy, I recommend for podcasts or YouTube videos.

Love the mic, thank you.

My current setup connects this mic to my MacBook Pro using an XLR to USB-C cable. This cable only provides 35 dB of gain; so audibility is accomplished via software gain, not a great solution, but a good start. I'm now shopping for an Thunderbolt 3/USB-C Audio Interface!

At a quarter of the price, this microphone is a nice alternative to the Shure SM7B for voice work. Sturdy construction with a nice feel and finish. Compact and easy to position. Pair it with a good audio interface and you're all set.

Rock-solid and sounds like butter. Appears and functions like it cost 10x as much. I paired it with a Rode PSA1 Studio Boom Arm - also purchased from B&H. Both are very hard to find everywhere else but not at B&H! I've setup my entire studio thanks to the great selection, price, and service at B&H.

Pairs perfectly Rodecaster Pro

I'm glad that I purchased this Rode microphone for the Rodecaster Pro. There are several more expensive Rode microphones to choose from but this one sounds phenomenal and gives my live streams that "broadcast-quality" sound.

The First one is more for voice recording and is supposed to be better but this one is really clear, bright and does a fantastic job recording podcasting guests. I'm going to go ahead and buy another one, I like it that much! It's also small and pretty portable.

Ssssshhhhh!!! It's only $99 bucks!
