    with the right setup this mic sounds like a $3000 mic 🎤. with that said, protocols, waves and a Mac will get you together with this setup.

    Very nice Mic, it was packaged nicely and shipped promptly, I was confused it had no instructions, though I will still give a 5 star rating as for the most part you just plug it in and go from there. I think I would say it’s equal to the RODE NT1A, though I think as to vocals I may give the edge to the AKG P220, I have it basically for my stand up mic. I might do a comparison video with the two as the RODE NT1A is also set as either a set down or stand up mic. The AKG P220 is a great mic for its value.

    I upgraded to this from a Blue Snowball (USB condenser mic). This thing sounds super crispy and lively. The pop filter, while not extremely well-built or anything, does its job well and without complaint from me. Overall a great microphone for vocals and guitar and the like. I also like the carrying case that it comes with!

    an advanced quality professional microphone designed to operate at high sound pressure levels as well as the clarity of a whisper.
    NOTE: beginners should not operate without supervision or training to avoid damage to mic or connected equipment

    Really great sounding microphone, nice bass to give it that podcast sound. Everything is really sturdy and well made. Almost too sturdy, this is a very heavy setup with the microphone and shock mount together, my stand can barely hold it. That’s only to be overly nitpicky on an otherwise perfect microphone.
