It's a great product!

I used it to record my album voices and they sounded amazing!

Käsittääkseni perus mikki

Ei sitten mitään valittamisen aiheita ole löytynyt. Oon käyttänyt äänitääkseni lauluääntä, sekä cajon perkussiota. Olen tosi tyytyväinen. Cajonin äänittämisen ajatus mietitytti ensin paljon, mutta ei tosiaan tarvitse viedä mikrofonia mitekään lähelle, poimii äänet todella hyvin.

Super for starters

We just started a podcast and needed extra microphones, we don’t have a big budget so we ended up with the superlux E205 because we wanted XLR mics for better sounds. Well I’m very pleased with those mics and they give an awesome sound, I was missing a mic stand like the small tripod on the usb edition that I have for work zoom calls so we had to buy an arm as well. But overal a great mic with good sound quality. Easy to use with GarageBand

OK budget mic

I can compare it only to Focusrite one.Superlux sounds a bit of flatter, but still OK for its price

Perfect for broadcasting or any other recording session.

I already used the mic for vocals and for my podcast, and it works perfectly fine. I am even amazed of how good the sound is for this price.

Impressed

First off, I am a Mic-aholic - secondly, I am a voiceover artist and produce radio adverts. I have a cupboard full of mics including Neumann, Rode, SE, Oktarva, Audio Technica, Sontronic, Sennheiser and more! I came across the Superlux S241 a few years ago and was very impressed with it for Acoustic Guitar it's still my go-to mic for micing guitars, so I thought I would give the superlux E205 a try especially at only £31.00 -once again Superlux has blown me away, it sounds fabulous and is dead quiet, even compared to a Rodes NT2a which is a very quiet mic indeed - and dare I say it, it has a nicer fuller sound than the Rode and doesn't have that U87Ai honk. one thing I will say is it is a little bit suspectable to the proximity effect, so keep back a little more than you normally would,

add a fraction of top EQ and you have one killer of a mic I would say it sounds similar to the Audio Technica 4033a.

Good alternative for the money

I use this microphone for some general usage at my desk in my recording studio, including streaming and voiceover.

In general, this microphone does stand up to its comparison to the AT2020. In the years that have passed, this microphone has managed to pack that punch into a sub 50 euro package.

In sound specific terms, the microphone is mostly faithful in representing a voice. It's not a perfect reproduction, but it does not hugely deform your voice beyond comparison.

It does a good job at picking up the wide dynamic range of sounds that a room with reverb would produce.

The microphone's internal Phantom amplifier is of decent quality, requiring less than 12'o clock on my UMC204HD to get to full scale gain. At that point, I cannot detect a noise floor issue with the mic, and solely pick up the background noise in my room.

If you're to some extent fine with tweaking small parameters and have the capability to, this is a very viable and capable choice to consider.

What I call value for money. One of the best budget choices.

good mike

The microphone is good for the money, it does have a good sound, quite balanced.

For the price, this thing is amazing

For €38,- you get a low noise, high output microphone that can hold it's own against mikes costing 10x that much. I couldn't believe it. It's not going to replace my Shure KSM 42, but for some things, it might be better.

A Very good choice!

This microphone is a good choice if you are on a budget. It's very good to record voices and instruments, like the ukulele or like a guitar.

I am very pleased with this purchase.

For the price... blew me away!

I picked up one of these mics just to see what it could do.. at this price, why not? I was really nicely surprised. On my voice, a bit of EQ had it sounding really nice (my main vocal mic is the fantastic Lewitt 440 Pure, which is clearly a superior mic), but on my acoustic guitar it sounded good out of the box - in fact, I'm probably going to use it on guitar all the time. I'm basically leaving it set up on my desk for recording ideas.

So, as a budget, beginner mic, this is a no-brainer, just get one.

No complaints

I've been using the mic for recording vocals, some acoustic guitar and as a VOIP device while chatting/gaming with friends. Sounds great, is built great, doesn't cost that much. For my mixed use it was a great buy.

Very good quality and price

Use

I use for live and studio recordings. I use as drum overhead miking, room microphone and brass (trombone, tenor sax).

pros

Low noise level, good sensitivity. Possible to use with original clip, but better to use shock-mount (especially in live shows). Very good sounding recording brass instruments.

Product comes with leather bag , paper box and microphone clamp.
