E205 : Versitile and Reliable

8 years ago

A great microphone for the price, and has great clarity. I find it lacks in higher frequencies, but works well for a male vocalist. Has a wide pickup range, so I usually use them as boundary microphones, however also very useful at close range. I have a set of 5, and some of the XLR connectors on the microphones are a bit stiff, and the screw-fitting on the underside that holds the microphone together comes loose with regular use, however is easily fixable. I am disappointment with the included microphone mounts, as several I've had are too stiff for hand tightening. I recommend getting their associated shock mounts instead of the included fittings, however a file and a bit of elbow grease can solve the issue easily.

Overall, great audio quality, but the hardware leaves a little to be desired. The front LED is a very nice touch.
