The microphone is delivered in a beautiful aluminum suitcase with windscreen and spider. A small leather bag, in which only fits the microphone, also is still in. The microphone itself feels sturdy and high quality. Along with the pop filter, which is completely made of metal, the microphone is visually very nice and works fine. When I turn up fully all controllers in audio interface, I already hear noise though, but also all the noises in the next room with the doors closed. I have no comparison microphone, in order to assess where the noise comes. Comparing the given specifications Signal / noise ratio: 78dB Equivalent noise level: 16dB with really expensive microphones, it is observed that it can go even better, but also have more than 1,000 microphones quite comparable values.
