I did not regret the purchase, everything is fine.

The sound quality is good out of the box, but still there is a need for tuning in order to get the most out of it (therefore, I advise you to familiarize yourself with programs such as Adobe Audition). I also recommend using a microphone in a soundproof room, because no one canceled the echo. And finally, this microphone is many times better than any Blue Yeti and others, in the future I plan to take Rode Nt-USB (not MINI), which I advise you.

Pros

Decent sound quality for 8 thousand. Nice and well made. The package includes everything you need to start using (USB-C - USB-A 2m cable, microphone stand (I didn’t use it myself, I immediately installed it on a pantograph, which I advise you), a free license for Ableton Lite. The microphone has 4 modes recordings: Front, back, sides (left and right) and figure eight (voice recording in front and behind the microphone).

Cons

Since the microphone has a 4 capsule, when you turn on the Front mode (recording the sound in front of the microphone), the sound is also decently captured from the sides. For example: I am recording a voice (the microphone is in front of me) and to the right of it I have a fan or something like that, the microphone will 100% pick up this noise (therefore I recommend turning off all things that make sounds for better sound if you don’t want to bother with such programs like Adobe Audition and others where you can adjust the sound)
