770 : Fantastic mic for the price

11 years ago

I am not experienced or anything with sound gear, so take this review with a grain of salt; I wrote it as I have experienced it.

The features of the mic are what you expect, and the fact that it comes with a shockmount and a proper case for transportation is a big bonus.

The sound is great; even going through a budget ART Tube it sounds much better than my previous microphone(Blue Snowball), and this mic is more flexible although much more expensive in total.

The build quality in general seems extremely good, the -10db pad and bass-cut have some weight to them and therefore cause some noise if you have the mic on and start fiddling around with it. The shockmount is what'd be expected; I've owned it for a few weeks and has worked flawlessly, was very easy to set up.

In general I think this is a fantastic microphone, for the price at least.
