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.

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.

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

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.

It works fine. I use it to my home studio for everything. Drums ( almost as overhead), guitars, amps!. Ok its a bit fragile but you need to handle with care your mic. I am gonna by another one, it is cheap after all

Sounds great for its price. It is a little bit noisy, but with proper preamp it works well. It is not greates mic of all time but certainly can be used in podcasts / small home recording projects. Works suprisingly well with guitar amps.

Versitile and Reliable

A great microphone for the price, and has great clarity. I find it lacks in higher frequencies, but works well for a male vocalist. Has a wide pickup range, so I usually use them as boundary microphones, however also very useful at close range. I have a set of 5, and some of the XLR connectors on the microphones are a bit stiff, and the screw-fitting on the underside that holds the microphone together comes loose with regular use, however is easily fixable. I am disappointment with the included microphone mounts, as several I've had are too stiff for hand tightening. I recommend getting their associated shock mounts instead of the included fittings, however a file and a bit of elbow grease can solve the issue easily.

Overall, great audio quality, but the hardware leaves a little to be desired. The front LED is a very nice touch.

Excellent

I bough this microphone just for home recording and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality recordings it produces.
