Amazing recording sound for guitar

Although this mic is suggested to record drums mainly, I have to say I did not find a better sound on recording my guitar with this mic. Very clear and natural sound

Tight for live sound

Was really pleased with this mic for a live gig. Used on the hihat but I think it would suit anything that needs high end clarity or fast attack such as percussion.

Robust

It doesn't sound like a Neumann 184 but it does the Job! and it is robust like a tank!

Get what you pay for

To be honest, a disappointment... but probably fair value for the price. I would say, pay just a bit more for a better small condenser mic. It is very small and that could be handy in some tight miking situation.

The mic itself is very solid, full metal cover. Sounds perfect for acoustic guitar.

The microphone clip is very tight (small). I could hardly manage the engage with the mic. It's made of very rigid, poor quality (made in China) plastic. Once I managed to put the mic on it I never want to take it off (I'm not even sure I can without braking the clip).

Besides the clip this is a decent mic for a little money.

Mediocre, but for the price..

When comparing equipment, price / quality is always a factor.

For the money, this isn't a bad mic, but it needs alot of gain wich raises the noise floor with it as well.

If you compare it to something 10 times as expensive like a DPA mic, then it gets blown away completely and it's not even a competition. But if you're looking for soms cheap drum overheads, or a mic to record accoustic guitar on the cheap, than this is a very valid option to be considered.

It's not great, but for the money, also not bad. The build quality is descent, this mic can take a beating, and even if you manage to kill it, at this price point, it'll probably won't hurt your wallet too badly.

Does not sound that great but cheap

It is a quite noisy mic and the sound is very thin and not very inspiring. I would not buy more.
