I have worried me the microphone primarily for vocal recordings. The sound quality is very good. There is virtually no noise, a recording with eg Audacity is possible. The supplied connecting cable is easy to plug into the USB port, the PC, the software automatically installs. I have had no problems with this Mirkofon until now, in contrast to its predecessors, it works even after almost a year. Very strong buy recommendation. Even the reading - acoustics, pitch and volume - works flawlessly. The only drawback: After about 3 months, the spider does not work properly. By retightening and "rumzerren" on thread adapter can this deplorable state of affairs is relatively easy to eradicate. However, the microphone is firmly seated in the spider, so this small shortcoming is not the end and the receiving fun decreases nothing. LG Ella
