Quality

I am vary impressed with the built quality of this microphone.

I am happy with the quality of this mic definitely natural as if i was speaking realistic.

They will pickup the sound of the air conditioner, birds chirping outside, the squeak in you chair, and the sound leaking from ... Read More

I swear i was going to return this fast if it was anything more than 20% below the sm7b in sound quality.

If you have it in the budget this mic is a worthwhile investment!
