FRONT: The most commonly used mode for audio recording. Ideal for voiceovers, podcasters, vloggers, gamers, vocalists, acoustic instrument recording and web conferencing, picking up sound from the front of the microphone.B.

Type of review

Excellent usb micro for my money price = quality + akg (for the first time I encounter this company and so far I am glad that I hear it). As I said, very sensitive, so processing is needed. I advise you not to be stingy with a pantograph and not to buy something cheaper like maono's or from Alik. By the way, I have Alctron MA612 and it holds everything perfectly

Pros
  • 1. Sound. Of all the more or less budget usb micros, this one came to me the most. Even in stock (without processing), my voice sounds very natural. But processing is still required because it catches noise. 2. Adjusting the sensitivity, sound in the headphones directly on the microphone without the need to climb and do it all programmatically 3. Mute button on the microphone itself 4. Unusual design (my subjectivity) 5. Workmanship
Cons
  • When you press the mute button, everyone will hear the sound of this button. Not important to me, but might be important to someone.

One of the best deals, glad I bought this.

For the money, the microphone is very convenient to use, gives a good sound enough for streams and webinars. Has pros: Great sound, up and running. It is convenient to have a mute button on the microphone Its cons: It is inconvenient that the sound control is on the reverse side, you have to adjust it according to the instruments

I can't stop being happy with the purchase, a very good deal!

Some pros: Price \ quality, 4 capsules for the price of two, software included, monitoring without delay. It takes up less space on the table than a mini remote control or an external sound system. Some cons: The stand is massive, beautiful and meaningless. It is necessary to put on the suspension, otherwise mouse clicks or wheel rotations become audible.

I'm very happy, it really is worth buying.

The guitar is simply superb! The voice is very chic, rich and clear! Easy to use and lots of modes! I RECOMMEND! Pros: A good, decent microphone, I use it for streaming, recording and voice acting. Its cons: Noises were caught in the drain, but this was quickly corrected, the computer's usb bus itself was noisy, so everything is ok)

Excellent product, the best quality.

In order to write directly to the iPhone, you need an Apple camera connector with a hole for charging, since the T-shirt does not have enough power from the phone

Pros
  • Good sound straight to iPhone
Cons
  • Search yourself

MOUNTS ON MICROPHONE OR TRIPOD STAND, OVERLOAD PROTECTION. The microphone comes with a dongle for the Ableton 10 lite sound processing program. Metal thread adapter (3/8 - 5/8) for rack mounting.

Pros
  • Appearance. Build quality, Sound recording quality 192 kHz/24 bits, Massive, beautiful and heavy stand, 4 sound capture modes: Front, rear, stereo (left and right) and eight (recording stereo in front and stereo from the back of the microphone).
Cons
  • Well, I didn’t find it, except that the microphone will 100% catch all the noise, but this is hardly a drawback.

Im amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

This is my very first video recording microphone. Before that, I used a headset and the sound was ten times worse. Now I'm recording and I can't get enough of it! Beautiful, fashionable, good sound. Some pros: Very good sound, sensitivity and volume change, connects to headphones and a very beautiful design. Very good. He deserves 13 thousand. Has some cons: It can sometimes pick up extraneous noise (but this can be corrected). When my sister is nearby typing something on the keyboard of…

The quality is top notch, be sure to try it.

Very pleased with the purchase. Pros: Easy to connect and use Sound quality out of the box Can be used with phone and tablet Looks stylish A wide range of tasks: used for presentations (streaming), for participation in conference calls, for recording / broadcasting meetings with a large number of participants in the room (placed as an omnidirectional microphone in the center of the room). Worked great everywhere Cons below: No "spider" out of the box, if you want to type a lot at the same time…

Best I have ever used, great product for anyone!

Got pros: Compared the recording quality with all home devices, the quality is very good. Convenient to plug in headphones Different cons: The wire does not allow you to put it vertically without bending it to a kink.

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)

I screwed it to the pantograph - so parasitic noises from Klava or accidental touches of the table are transmitted less. Once I wrote on 58 Shure + Presonus, but the result sounded much less natural, and the kit cost decently more. Well done AKG. Price-quality is impressive. Pros: Excellent design, assembly, the presence of the necessary functions, modes for four capsules, high quality signal pickup, both voice and instrument. The recorded result is easily integrated into the overall score in a

Good product for me, I was satisfied with the price.

A lot has been written about the pluses and deservedly, I will add only one - it works fine in Linux (ubuntu 18.04.5) right away, it is friends with pulseaudio. About cons: A significant disadvantage is that USB power noise (if any) passes into monitoring and recording. There was noise on 2 existing stationary PCs and one smartphone (Samsung A3 2022). On two ASUS laptops and a Samsung A41 smartphone - clean. The noise is small, but it will not work for studio recording. Headphones are…

Pros
  • sound quality the presence of stereo and circular radiation pattern built-in monitoring with a decent headphone amplifier works in Linux (although the manufacturer is silent about this) many places in stock
Cons
  • sensitive to USB power noise under Android 10 did not work normally right away no overload indication

Nice price, good quality.

A very worthy USB mic, the best in quality and capabilities, probably up to 10k. Instantly recognized by both computers and android. For streams, for audio recordings approx. There is a problem with video recording. And she might not be. Pros below: Easy to connect to a computer (Windows 10) and a smartphone (Android). I turned it on via USB (for a smartphone - Type C) and everything works. Overall very good sound quality for the money. Choice of 4 patterns (for example, the front one…

Impressions from the purchase are good, buy.

Against the background of increasing everything and everything, it can and is worth its money (although 3-4 thousand would still be a normal price for it), but don’t count on long work, according to statistics, electronics live 4-5 years, then the polarization of the plates in capsules disappears. Has some pros: Writes well, for its parameters, converting to 24 bits, which is very good. With its cons: It is not a condenser in the classic version, there are 4 electret capsules, and that's it.

Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good purchase.

Literally just a review. Descriptions of ++ and - abound exactly both here and on the vastness of the entire Internet. And I'll just say that I'm very pleased, I like it much more in all respects than my old RODE NT and the very young, but already hopeless BLUE YETI Nano. The device is more than worth its money. And I say this, realizing that the course has done its job. Again, a very good microphone.

Pros
  • Definitely there
Cons
  • Either not, or virtues blind too much.

A valuable purchase, some advantages!

I decided to change my blue yeti to the AKG LYRA model, since my picture came out in a new 4k format and, accordingly, I wanted a 24-bit sound! As a result, I am very pleased with the microphone. Amazing sound, amazing sound quality. Compared to the Yeti, everything here is just juicy, but in the Yeti it’s somehow more rotten, deaf, and the capsules in the Yeti are 3 versus 4 and the maximum bit depth is 16 . In general, I was very pleased! I recommend!

Pros
  • 1) The perfect sound for a usb microphone, 2) a control panel on the microphone (volume control for both the microphone and headphones) 3) a 3.5 mm headphone jack to monitor yourself, 4) a key for a decent sound processing program ableton live 10 lite is included. Without a key, it would cost 60 bucks, 5) built-in pop filter (feels like), 6) full 24 bits, 7) 4 capsules, 8) 4 environment recording modes.
Cons
  • The shape of the microphone. Peculiar, not every spider will do. Well, probably, but I will not exactly attribute the build quality to the shortcomings. Do not misunderstand, because he inspires confidence, but when he accidentally pressed on the grid, everything creaked and there was a bit of backlash. In the same mind, everything is rigidly fixed, and no matter how hard you press, everything remains in place.
