Is this what you expected?
From the moment I made my purchase of this product, there was that fear, is this what I expected? After seeing many reviews, comments and multimedia files, I have come to the conclusion. It is not the same to see it, to listen to it through speakers, than to already have it in person and carry out tests. If it is everything I expected, even more I would say. such a versatile sound, so friendly to work with, 10/10 quality. I am a user of a UA VOLT 2 interface and they behave together in an unexpected way. It's a dynamic duo. In general terms, it is a product that you know from the first instance that you are facing a high quality product and premium materials. Without a doubt, a great ally for my future productions and with an exclusive flavor.
All this is my humble opinion about this excellent product. Undoubtedly. It is my favorite dynamic microphone for a long time.R. Belculfine
Seriously impressive.
Bought this to compare with its clear competitor the Shure SM-7b and I'm very satisfied with the quality this thing delivers. Using it for voiceover, podcast, and vocal recording. Blown away by the versatility and overall aesthetic of this microphone. My new go-to dynamic mic!

Not good as my imagination
I just directly plug it with Apollo twin x interface, and noise is shocking! I don't know how to deal with that so I decided to ask a refunding.
