Had to send the first one in because it came defected and the one they sent back still sounds bad but they won't believe me. Still trying to sell it.

Excelente micrófono, super direccional. Ayuda mucho sobre todo si tienes mucha reverberación natural en tu cuarto o un cantante muy dinámico.

J'hésitais avec un sm7b mais ce modèle est juste parfait, il n'a pas besoin d'autant de gain et la qualité sonore magnifie parfaitement la voix grâce aux réglages disponibles, n'hésitez pas, personnellement pour du stream c'est extrêmement qualitatif

This is perfect for making demos and vocal recordings, and doesn't pick up unwanted noise (and my apt is very noisy). Also used it for a drum recording and was satisfied with how true to source it is.Also, I've been using the Hemisphere mic modeling plugin that it comes with, and love switching between classic dynamic mics like the Sennheiser md 441 and RE20, and getting more for my buck.

Ho visto molte recensioni, su questo microfono e devo dire che le attese e le aspettative sono state rispettate, ottima fedeltà per risposte in frequenza, consigliato per chi ha un budget limitato, non molto da invidiare al concorrente Shure SM7B.

Recién grabe tarolas con este micro y quedaron muy buenas. Lo agarre por debajo del precio actual y valió mucho la pena me hubiera encantado pedir dos. Sin duda es un micro más brillante comparado al sm7b pero no le pide nada de nada. Me parece es una excelente opción muy acorde al precio al que está y es una opción muy buena para empezar a grabar y también para pro studios creo podrían sacarle mucho provecho a este micrófono.

Indeed is a good mic but it needs the universal audio environment to work as expected, I mean with a good side chain for the mic you are able to record anything you like

The feedback I've been seeing about this mic definitely made me nervous about getting this, but I'm certainly glad that I did!So first let's address the elephant in the room, yes this is a sm7b clone. Is this going to put the sm7b out of business? No. Is it really worth the amount? Kind of but not really (It's honestly not anything special, but it is definitely one of the better mics if your budget is under $500), but this is still a great mic and could be perfect for your setup!As a podcast mic this mic is absolutely top tier, it has that broadcast sound and clarity that you'd hear in every podcast without the need for a cloud lifter etc. Now with that being said, the output of this mic is obviously lower than the typical condenser mic so you WILL still need a preamp most likely.As for recording music this is 100% the perfect mic for all bedroom artists and more! If your budget is under $500 for a mic, GET THIS MIC! Not only is this mic great for if you're recording in an untreated space, but this mic also has an extremely smooth sound for rappers and pop singers. Off of the top of my head I can't think of a better mic at this price range for the typical bedroom artist, and I'm a huge mic collector.This mic has the ability to literally make recording in a horrible room sound smooth. Now with that being said I do feel like some bedroom artists have unreal expectations, yes it will help, but you can't expect this mic to work miracles and make your recording completely silent. Also a good amount of processing is required or else vocals might end up dark and unexciting.Overall great mic! I would give it 5 stars, but I'll take one away since this is almost an exact replica of the MV3, with a different capsule. Is the different capsule really worth it? No. Just because it's a clone does it make a bad mic? No. It just might not worth the value for you personally.
