M2 : Finally arrived!

5 years ago

Took a very long time to get to the U.S. DHL isn't the best choice here and tracking was basically silent for weeks until a day or two before it arrived. Build quality is very good. Sound quality on voice is also nice, warm and full. But there are a couple of issues. This microphone is gain hungry and makes a lot of noise. I did a side-by-side with a Share SM58 and the SM58 was almost without discernible noise with the gain cranked up all the way. The fix is to get a special Fethead for condenser microphones that will boost the M2 gain and eliminate much of the noise. I would recommend the M2 but only with the Fethead.
