Review on Apogee MiC Plus - Elevate Your Recording Game with Studio-Quality USB Microphone and Zero-Latency Headphone Output by Cindy Vang

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Rode NT was better!

I had a small recording studio about 15 years ago and have been recording my own projects ever since. I usually use the old M-Audio Solaris through an audio interface, but I need a portable solution for voice work and maybe singing while traveling. I bought this mic and a Rode NT USB mic at the same time and tested their capabilities. With a few tweaks, I was finally able to get the Rode NT to perform relatively close to the performance of my better studio mic, at least when it came to funk and scoring. It was IMPOSSIBLE for me to ever get the Apogee mic to sound remotely in the same ballpark. It's too small for a serious microphone. It couldn't deliver the low frequencies that Rode could. To be honest, the Apogee mic looked like a toy to me. Don't get me wrong, I understand the appeal of being light and small, but the technology isn't quite there yet for a mic this small to be able to produce decent results. It sounded clean, so if you don't want the mic picking up low frequencies then this might work for you. However, this just doesn't work for me as I'm used to studio quality condenser mics which can produce that stereotypical "movie preview narrator" sound. This microphone was more suitable for light high frequencies. i will return it
