Complete Studio Kit : An Amazing kit for home-studio-voice-overs

5 years ago

This is a very quite microphone. You will hear a pin drop without any white noise.

The Frequency response of this microphone is as flat and neutral as it can be. Your voice will sound incredibly clear and comfortable to listen to on the long term.

I myself have a deeper/raspier voice then the average person, and because of this flat tone the microphone has it sounds very smooth and natural by default.

As for the SMR shock-mount and the included all-metal pop-filter..

- The shock-mount has a steady built that absorbs most of the bumps, taps and low-frequency resonances (Like a heavy truck passing by).

- The pop filter actually saved the microphone more then once in some of my more intense recordings. I am a voice-actor who sometimes needs to scream and yell in the microphone and with that comes... A lot of spit.. I know very gross... BUT THAT SAID, the pop filter caught all of that in it's double layered construction and not a single drop came through to destroy the diaphragm.

The Ai-1 Interface looks quite standard with only 2 knobs; One for the Gain and the other for the Audio playback level with 6mm Jack headphones. But the build quality is something else.

It draws the 48v phantom that some microphones need to function, without an extra power supply through a single USB-C to USB-A cable from your computer/laptop. There is an incredibly low amount of self noise on this USB interface. ONLY when I boosted it to 90% GAIN with no microphone attached, did it become noticeable.
