Very natural

Viotti 24.02.2022

I was initially a bit discouraged with the sound but very quickly have fallen in love with this mic. It is very honest and doesn't flatter an instrument but placed well on a quality instrument the sound is perfect. Easily the best sounding condenser mic I've used on a banjo. Variable patterns would be nice but thats very much nitpicking.

Best mic for the price.

Bart_ 27.05.2022

I can't stress enough how good this microphone is. Especially for the price, I don't think you could find anything better sounding.

Clarity of the sound you get is top notch. Recording vocals and acoustic guitar is just a pleasure to do with this mic. Also, this mic is built like a tank, comes with a really nice case too.

If you in a search for a condenser mic in this price range, you can't go wrong with this one. Highly recommend

Affordable high end mic

Dan Gr 11.08.2025

Great sounding microphone with outstanding off-axis frequency response (no coloration). Put it through an 1176 when tracking and you will have an easy time mixing it. It is less sensitive than other mics, so it requires more gain to reach line level. It is suitable for many applications, especially vocals and acoustic instruments (cello in particular). Overall great sounding microphone and great quality [full stop].
