Excellent micro to semi-pro recordings. Several buttons are present, allowing you to adjust the gain, adjust the headset volume (if you have connected one), set the shooting mode (stereo, cardioid, omnidirectional, bidirectional), and a button to turn off / on again the microphone. The reproduced sound is very faithful and works perfectly as Audacity (free recording software and audio editing on Windows or Linux). The microphone is a bit heavy (1.7 kg) but it allows him to have an excellent foundation.
