PD-70 : High quality broadcast mic for a very reasonable price

Absolutely delighted with the PD-70 . The sound is very smooth and balanced with a nice crisp detailed high end.

The frequency curve really gives great clarity with just the right amount of low end roll off, a flat and even mid range and a slight high end presence boost which is ideal for giving a little extra detail to speech. And the noise floor is extremely low, even with the gain almost full on my interface or mixing desk , there is barely any audible hiss.

The build quality is excellent, it's sturdy and the half yoke mount is solid but saves a little weight. It balances on a spring loaded boom arm perfectly. It stays exactly where you put it.

The included windscreen is perfect for reducing pops and it's a nice addition that you don't always get with mics in this price range.

All in all I highly recommend this mic. I can't think of any negatives at all.
