Unbelievably good value

Bought this during lockdown, so now about 2 years old. In my shed its survived 2x cold winters and 2x warmish summers (in England, so you might not agree with the definition of warm and cold :)). Been hit with drum sticks and barely a scratch on it. I now use t as a vocal mic because its easy to put on a boom being by drum throne. Great sound for the price. Theres no way I'm buying anything else.

On a budget? Buy this!

This is no shure or sonarworks, but its a good over all mic for toms. When i got it i didnt know what to expect. It sound great, not to big, so its easy to fit it on a kit. So if you are on a budget and need great mics this is a must buy

Fantastic Snare Mic

This little drum mic performs great in either live or studio situations. I have used it for toms and both snare top and bottom, it works as well as its more expensive competitors. Easily my the first choice for anyone starting out into the world of live gigs or sound production. Low noise, robust build, great frequency response and bang for your buck.

Chuck a CD56 on it

Really good all round mic. I've used it on drums and guitar amp and it's worked really well. Basically if I'm not sure what mic to use, I'll try this one 1st!

very good microphone for the guitars

I use this mike for recording the electric guitars, it is not any worse then leading brands products, does the job very well. I used it as well for the snare drum with a success. I like it is small and well built. Colors are nice as well. But the most imprtant is the sound quality. I got AKG P4 - similar mike, and tbh they are very similar.

I recomend it for ppl wanting good mike withgn affordable price

cheap

It's cheap(ish). And sounds good. It reminds me of Audix d2. I am using it for snare drum and it does that job

Good mic for a low price

I use it for my electric guitar amplifier. In my opinion, the sound is as good as Shure beta 57. Can't see why would pay 100+ euros for different brandname.

This microphone doesn't feel cheap at all, looks like more expensive.

Can't get anything better with that price.
