I have not been using this microphone for much time, but I have already managed to evaluate it in comparison with other microphones that I have worked with. The microphone is a condenser, picks up the sound from the front, while the sound is muffled from the other sides. Capsule size 25 mm, produces a good sound. According to the characteristics, it is like Risen for 15 k, only the price is lower. Already at a volume level of 45%, the microphone picks up remarkably. On the front of the microphone there is a headphone volume control, a mute button and an LED that indicates the status of the microphone. If you use third-party software, then the light starts to show in red the microphone overload, and wind explosions, B, P, etc., which is very cool and convenient. Behind the microphone there is a USB input for connecting to a computer and a 3.5 headphone input. The microphone has a cool design in the form of a comet, but this has its drawbacks, since it is not clear how to use this microphone with a spider, it is impossible for a campaign. Although the microphone is metal, it does not weigh much, and it can be used in conjunction with a cheap pantograph, but you may need to buy an adapter for mounting (from 3/8 to 5/8), since the thread diameter is 16 mm. The microphone has folding legs, on the one hand, this is a plus, since they are compact and the microphone takes up little space on the table, on the other hand, they get in the way if you screw the microphone to the stand. In general, I liked the microphone. In my opinion, this is the best USB microphone in the price range up to 15 thousand, I can not compare it with XLR microphones. Definitely recommend to buy. If you decide to buy, then be sure to take a pop filter (mesh on the ring) to avoid sound interference from breathing. Or do not speak directly into the microphone, but place it slightly away from your mouth
