i used this mic today and i have to say its way better than i expected i have never been one to tell people how awsome a product is until i used this mic

I bought this mic and was very pleased with the sound. And its so awesome that its a usb mic. all u do is plug it in and there's nothing else to do but to record. You just plug and play. And i love that. No installing anything. This mic is definitely a professional mic. Im sure people have had not so great experiences with it. but people always have different expectations and needs for the mic. I just record demos and stuff at home and the mic does everything. Picks up pretty much all instruments including drums very well. The three settings are awesome. the omni directional allows u to be jamming with another person and both singing and playing an instrument and all on one track. the mic picks it all up. for my needs this mic more than does the trick. Worth my money.

I have been favourably impressed so far. The dual capsule design really adds a lot of versatility. Among the three settings, you can probably find one for your particular application. The omni setting gets fairly even response from nearly all directions. Directly in front is still a slight bit more sensitive than elsewhere. The cardioid settings are both quite useful. The -10dB pad isolates outside noise particularly well providing a tight, but very usable sweet area right in front. The tone is very usable. It has a very flat response that rolls off nicely at either frequency extreme and has a slight bump around 2-5kHz. It has a very natural sound. The build quality is great. Don't abuse it, but it should hold up fine under normal use. It looks fantastic too. It's not as flashy as Blue's higher end mics, but it sure outclasses its competitors aesthetically. On a side note, it's bigger than it looks in photos. It's easily softball sized. I've been using it to record vocals and guitar for some songwriting projects. It's done great for that. I don't think I would sell CDs with that kind of sound quality, but it's definitely enough for a well done demo disc. Overall, a great mic. I couldn't recommend it for much professional studio work, but it is fantastic for what I need.

I needed a microphone that could easily be used, for a low price, that could pick up all instruments. Well, I got what I needed. I recomend this to anyone looking for a recording mic.

The mic works like a dream. I mean, with more money you could obviously get a better sound, seeing as this one seems to distort a bit. Overall, good mic.
