This mic is FANTASTIC!

ByDirty Hippieon April 27, 2016

Verified Purchase

This mic is FANTASTIC! I use it for streaming, youtube, voiceovers, etc. I was using a G230 headset for gaming which was fine but I wanted some high quality sound to give it all a more professional and warm, bassy feel. I was looking to build a whole studio with the preamp or phantom power but simply couldn't afford it. I have heard bad things about USB mics or sound cards, so I was hesitant to grab this one. I was not disappointed though, it sounds great, there is no humming or hissing from the mic when it's idle and if you plug your headphones into the back of it, you hear both yourself and your system sounds with 0 delay which is great for monitoring your own quality.

Because it has an XLR port as well as a USB port, it's a great choice if you're starting out but plan to grow. If I ever decide to grab a preamp or something, I can easily upgrade it without having to buy a new mic. I have this hooked up to a NEEWER microphone desk mount, which fits it just fine. I'll write a different review for that item, as it's not as great as I thought, but as far as compatibility, it fits.

I would highly recommend grabbing a 3-5$ "windsock" or foam cover for it to reduce your plosives and since it's a dynamic mic, It reduces the room sound greatly (it only really captures noise directly in front of it)

Works great

ByKyleon September 5, 2016

I run a small time youtube channel and this records my commentary fine.
Since this is dynamic microphone it will mostly capture sound from the direction it is pointing. This is different from a condenser microphone which will capture any sound anywhere in the room.

This microphone is useful if you're recording in an environment where you cannot control the environmental sounds. This microphone is great for any amateur podcaster or let's player, since you're probably not going to have access to a quiet recording studio. Another perk of this microphone is that has both xlr and usb connections. This leaves you room to grow and if you decide to get a mixer then you can just switch from usb to xlr.

There are a few cons. I have a mechanical keyboard, so it's a bit louder than the average keyboard. This microphone will still pick up the keyboard sounds. These sounds aren't very loud and don't distract away from my commentary so it's not really a problem for me. Just don't expect it to eliminate every single sound perfectly.

The other con is that it records kind of quietly so you may need to crank up your gain a bit. From my understanding all dynamic microphones are like this. The gain will create a fuzzy sound in the background. You can easily remove this sound in post though. Even Audacity (free) has a sound removal feature that will remove this sound effectively.

Once the fuzzy background sound is eliminated, my voice sounds nice, clear and proffesional. This is a great beginner microphone and your money is well spent on this microphone.

Solid build and great sound, a great value for the money...except the stand

ByDavid Lenweaveron September 22, 2016

Verified Purchase

I've only used it a few times but set up on an iMac is simple and straightforward. I like the 3.5mm jack for connecting headphones. It comes with an XLRM to XLRF cable if you need it but the USB is easier of ray use. Someday I may need theXLRM but not now. To someone more professional the cable will be a plus I'm sure. There is a volume control on the bottom/back where the cables connect and while it's at the top it's seems like an odd spot and difficult to reach if you need access on a regular basis. In addition, it is not a dial but a spring loaded, rocker like switch. See the close up on the images. You push it multiple times to increase or decrease the volume.

The mic itself appears to be well constructed and when I took the screen cover off was surprised at how many turns it took. It indicates to me there is some engineering going on with stuff that really doesn't matter so the stuff that does matter is well engineered as well. Under the screen there are two soldered connections and there is an appropriate amount of solder used.

I bought it for better sound quality when I start podcasting and testing it with Garage Band it works well. I tested the input at different distances from the mic, 6", 9", 12" and about 18". Predictably the best sound was at about 9" directly in front as it is a cardio mic and they pic up sound best from directly in front, reducing the input from the rear and sides. I placed the mic just off to the side of my keyboard and you could barely hear any keyboard clicks as I typed. What's more, there is no delay in the sound getting from the mic to the computer to the headphones, which I understand can happen with other types of mics with lesser electronic components.

It did pick up "esses" and pops at all distances especially closer, again that's predictable and that's why the make pop filters. I found a usable, but admittedly goofy, hack. Take an old tee shirt and cut a 9 inch square, drape it over the mic and messes/pops are almost totally eliminated with little to no muffling of your voice. I don't have a real pop filter...yet.

The one thing Audio-Technica cheaper out on is the stand. I'm not expecting a full blown Steven Tyler proof stand but the one provided is all plastic and all but unusable. The mic holder proper barely holds the mic in place in anything but a 45 degree screen end up position. Having said that I was surprised at the amount of bumping/thumping isolation it provided. Maybe there's a method to their madness but I could have foregone the XLRM cord for a better stand...even though at some point I'll buy an articulated mic arm with an isolation cage.

Fit and finish is quite good. While lightweight it still has some heft and that is equally balanced. All electrical connections are tight.

All in all, I think this is a great value for an under $100 mic. I'm pleased with everything but the stand, which I'll remedy soon enough. Four star rating is too little and five is too much. The stand thing was the 1/2 star loss.

Good mic to start with, but has its challenges...

ByB Richon January 2, 2017

Verified Purchase

As many have posted, this is a great microphone to start with. I have used it to host multiple Crushing Defeat Podcast episodes. The reason for one star off is the noise floor leaves a bit to be desired and breathing comes through quite loudly. I also have experienced noise artifacts inc,using chirps and squeaks.
I've tried many different setups to try and get this fixed with the same results each time. I've gone direct to PC via USB and into Audacity. I also used an Audio Interface and then to USB. The best option I've found is to use the XLR cable direct to a Digital Audio Recorder. Currently an H4N Pro.
Still have to work with the volume levels and edit out artifacts and breathing in post.
Hoping to get a pro quality mic in the future, but again, this is a great place to start for the price point.
Even with the challenges...
