990 : Good quality, good value

7 years ago

I would recommend this microphone to anyone wanting reasonable quality at a low price. I am using it for a live Youtube chat show and it works well with good sound and small size which makes it less obtrusive for tv work than most others. There is one downside. (Very) low noise is detectable but most definitely not enough to reject this microphone. Ours competes well with the Neumann u87 and Rode 1000 in the show! We haven't used it on music yet. They say you get what you pay for but I'd say you get a bit more quality than you would normally expect for this price.
