Low output mic

I tried PRO 24 with Sony PCM D50 and Edirol R09 and it shows a very very low output on both recorders. Pluged into a mixer the mic gain should be adjusted to maximum to get some sound and much noise. I believe that my unit is not defective because many people have the same complaints. Very bad...

I own this mic (if can call this a mic.). It's simply one of the worst microphones I ever tested. My Macbook's microphone is way much better than this little thing...there's simply no gain, it's noisy, the battery won't last a day, terrible! Do yourself a favor and buy something else...

Not Great

I gave it a 3.0 in "Features" because in theory it should be a pretty sweet mic. But, alas...

First off, it is impossible to get phantom power to the mic when you have its signal split into L and R channels (using a splitter purchased elsewhere) -- I use a Presonus FP10. Second, the battery dies quickly. Third, it barely picks up any audio, even when the mic pres are turned way up. I've recently donated this mic to a friend of mine who is trying to make microphones out of lasers. I would not recommend this mic.

Very low output

Reviewer's Background: recording

Reviewer's Play Style: whatever

I had much higher hopes for this mic. The output is so low, that you allmost have to use two preamps combined to get decent levels. What this means is the signal to noise is very poor. Also, the on off switch is so small, and indented, so you have to use a fingernail to turn it off, and on. Not a bad mic sound wise, but needs loud sources to overcome poor self noise.

Reviewer's Background: songwriter, singer, in a band, home recording

Reviewer's Play Style: indie rock(?)

I record at home both solo and projects with my band. I was using this as an overhead mic in conjunction with a PG56 and a PG52 on the drums. So far it really seems to pick up a good stereo image and is a good representation of the sound source (toms, cymbals, etc). However, when I used a splitter adapter for L and R, I HAD to use the battery instead of phantom power. But, it didn't seem to affect the quality. I'd recommend it. Especially for the price. As far as placement of the mic goes, even the slightest variation seemed to change the sound. Which is a feature I personally think is useful.
