Really projects your voice. Great for music too.

These days when you're housebound it's important to have a microphone that can reproduce your sound clearly. I've worked from home a lot for a long time (even until recently) and couldn't speak up on a conference call. I was mostly ignored. What difference does this microphone make? I used the included Ableton software to get the level right (high enough to pick up my voice but low enough not to pick up too many extra clicks and pops - yes it's that sensitive) and then left the level unchanged…

Nothing like that!

All functions work as advertised, making this truly the most versatile and easy-to-use microphone. I use it with my iPad Pro directly in GarageBand via the USB-C port and it works great.

The iPad does not recognize the microphone as a suitable…

Having worked at Guitar Center for…

I want to love this mic but it has issues. It probably needs a firmware update that doesn't exist.

UPDATED 05/01/2020 Well you can see my pros and cons of this mic. Yesterday I ordered Blue Yeti. This should tell you where I stand on this. Additional notes and now comparisons. I also have an AKG2020+USB which sounds great but I was dying to adjust the gain and the AKG doesn't have it nor does it have a good way of sitting on a table which I found without a tripod. takes up too much space. Due to the design of the tripod adapter, the weight is inherently unbalanced. But it's a very good…
