4.0 out of 5 stars Great Mic - not so great mount, February 14, 2007

By 

Ben Henny (Gold River, CA) - See all my reviews

I've been using this to record voice for a few months, and it's great. I have no complaints. It sounds as good as a $400+ mic. The trouble I had was with the mount. The included mount screws into the bottom of the mic, but the threads on the mic only allow maybe two threads, so if you screw it on tight, you're likely to strip the threads, as I did. I returned it for a new one. The mic is great, but the mounting mechanism is not great. If you use a shock mount, you won't have this trouble - I might go that route. Don't waste your money on mics between this one and $1000. You won't hear the difference.

4.0 out of 5 stars Yeah..., March 2, 2008

Except for the mount, pretty bitchin'(see prior review).
Full, warm, with enough detail to satisfy. I will probably buy another.
I used it on sax and it sounds great.
I put superglue on the threads and will see how that holds up.
Highly recommended(sound and value wise).

Yea just a heads up on this mic...it is the AKG 100 not 200...but still a great sounding mic. I own it as well as the 220...not much difference in sound especially if you connect it to a mic pre-amp...sounds as good as a 220...420 and other expensive mics....just need to have a solid mic booth!!
