Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)What a fantastic product and great service from Amazon. The first one that arrived was a complete dud, which contained a lot of static and hiss. So I filed for a return through Amazon's website, and within a day I received a response with instructions on shipping it back for a replacement. What I didn't know was that a replacement, brand new, was already in route before I went to the post office to return the defective microphone; Amazon notified me via e-mail. I had to pick up shipping costs, and I was expecting to receive most of that back, but Amazon paid it back 100%! Great service!
Now on with the microphone, which was indeed brand new with all the plastic wrapping and cable plastic ties in tact. I have to admit that I was fearing that the replacement would give me the same issue. Fortunately, this one is a winner! The microphone produced a warm, clear sound and had no noticeable hiss, where as the defect had considerable amount of hiss and needed 100% gain to get any signal, which was extremely weak and full of static. Oh well. Even the best products have their occasional duds. I did a quick test with this microphone in an open area, and it sounded fantastic. I can't wait to get this into a better environment for recording projects.
I'm a happy customer due to the replacement and Amazon's excellent service. So why only 4 stars? The shock mount was a pain to install the microphone, for it was quite difficult to screw it into place. Putting the mount onto a stand was no problem, though. This microphone is a keeper.
