### ⭐⭐⭐ This is a novelty item only so beware.
*by D***E on January 8, 2017*

From a singer's point of view:You've been warned before even on the description here: "Ribbon mics don't produce bright sounds like condenser mics". That is, they won't produce the type of tone that is required for today's singing. This is the truth! Sure it EQ's well but your voice coming out of this mic is very different from a condenser mic. You will loose all the highs and mids and it just sort of sounds a little muddy without any presence.If you do Frank Sinatra or Bing Crosby type crooning this might be cool but if you do modern singing that requires a bright tone that cuts through this mic will actually diminish those efforts; that is, even if you sing bright it will sound dull through this.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars

i use this everday in my studio

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth the money if you're looking for some options in your mic setup
*by J***7 on February 11, 2015*

4 stars means I like it. But unlike a hotel rating system, these stars do not hold a notion of quality. I bought the mic so I could check out the ribbon mic craze. I recieved the mic, opened the box and was a bit suprized about the size. It's smaller than what photo "leads" you to think. No problem... I was still excited to give it a try. I took the mic out of the package and heard a disturbing rattle. I plugged it in to see if it was working, hoping that whatever was loose would just come right out if opened the mic. But I decided not to take a chance, and instead sent it back to get a replacement. The 2nd mic came, and no rattle. I used it last night to record some vocal. I does have a nice warm sound to it. It's somewhat colored, but not in a bad way. The mic's mount was useable, and easy to get the mic in and out of. The color is a nice blue, and it seems to have a solid build. It's a defenite keeper. I also used the mic to record the resonant head of my bass drum. Though I didn't get the sound I was after, I ended up pleased over all. My biggest gripe is that I had to really crank up the gain and inputs to get the meters to move. It just doesn't have that hot of s signal coming in. Hopefully it's not a flaw.
