Overall a good value. The production and presentation inspire confidence. Only problem with the installation: Check that registration applications used well take this microphone and not the standard input of the sound card. I plan to use it to record spoken comments. The first tests are very positive: the sound is good. Only downside: you have to find just the right distance for the voice is taken too far echo of the room and the voice seems 'far'; too close to the microphone and saturates very quickly on certain syllables - and there the signal is unusable locations. I have not managed to clip it or ask it to find the right position, I finally mount it on a tripod (not easy with the provided screws). The pop filter is probably a must. Obviously this increases the price ...
