If you can't afford a BMW. don't go and buy one. Cheaper microphones can work just as well. However, there is one particular sound that makes this mic one of the best. You can't reproduce its sound without seriously adjusting the EQ to your current mic, and that takes some time and skill. Yes, there are better microphones, there are worse ones, but the MX-416 is unique. Thanks to this, I don't have to bother with post-processing the file. I just record, edit and broadcast. If you're new to voice acting, this isn't a "magic microphone" (no pun intended) that turns your voice into the voice of God. However, it is a great tool for specific uses. Some voices sound good with him, some don't. If you buy it, don't be afraid to return or resell it if you don't like it. Try a different microphone and see which one works best for your voice.
