Standard mic and great cost, I would recommend a filter due to it picking up the "P" sounds and "T"s.

Great microphone for low-budget vocal use.

Reviewed by Noah on B&H Photo Video

It produces a clean, crisp sound on vocals. It has a full-metal body and a mute switch on the top of the mic. The plosives are not great on it, but a simple pop filter can fix that. My biggest problem with this microphone is it's handling noise. It is very prominent. So if you plan to use this handheld, be careful about moving it around. But other than that it is a really great microphone for it's price.

Just started doing open mics and wanted a microphone for home practice. Only had for a couple weeks but is working fine. Good tone quality and picks up you voice from even a foot or so away. Liking it good so far. You can't beat the price.

Perfect all around mic. Doesn't need phantom power, it's plug and play. I use it for both vocals and for miking an acoustic guitar, depending on the venue. Works great, it's plenty sensitive, I keep foam on mine because it will pop if you are doing vocals through it. But with a foam screen it works great and it's very solidly built. I plan on buying more in the future.

Happy with deal and quality.

I run this through a tube type preamp/compressor and I have used it to mic my guitar as well as to do vocals through. It is sensitive and it picks up a lot, so I use a pop screen (sock type) and it does just great. In small venue gigs I can run it through a 10 watt amp and get plenty of good clean sound, plus, it isn't too picky about the cords you use on it.

Great value for the price.

great little vocal microphone. I use it for light duty home recording, and solo live performances with my acoustic guitar. Wrks well. Very clean sound. No troubles at all. Not sure how or if it would withstand the rigors of a "gigging musician", but it does the minor tasks I request without any problems at all.

Really reliable mic for small venues and houses of worship

I bought this mic to use as a TalkBack on a location recording rig. The mic is sturdy, well constructed with good rejection of unwanted sound due to the cardiod pickup pattern. The on/off switch means it can be muted with the dlip of a switch without having to adjust gain settings on the pre amp or sends to headphone mixes. Very pleased with this purchase.
