Studio Series SL300 USB Condensor Microphone

Sounds great, great features, great case, great shock mount. It's great, I love it, would recommend to all of my peers, it has a dual diaphragm design, so it's good to place in between two people.

I bought this mic after listening to a sound recording someone made. Even though the method I used to choose the mic was bad, It's a great mic! The noise rejection is amazing! My previous mic was a Blue Snowball. Don't get !e wrong, that was a good mic but the amount of extra noise it captured was annoying. The sound it recorded had a flat and clean sound which I suppose would be ideal for pop or rock; whereas, the SL 300 captures a slightly warm sound. There is probably a small amount of bass added. This mic is a unidirectional mic and has worked well for my vocals and seems also to do well for piano and violin though a ribbon mic would probably do better for those instruments. The Hardy case and shockmount work beautifully. The extra features of -10db and the low cut frequency are nice. I don't utilize the low cut but the -10db can be very handy if I'm recording operatic type vocals. Once in a while, I find that it records a slight electronic hum but that can easily be fixed either with mixing or replugging the mic in. It's very easy to use. It was plug in play for me but I know the website has the drivers you can download. Overall, I really like this mic and recommend it's purchase!

Be careful if you live in the US, you will get a bill from DHL!!!I don't write reviews often, if I really like something or if I think people should be weary will I write a review.First lets talk about the product, the microphone itself IS really good for a USB, no fuss setup microphone. It does a great job at not picking up background noise if you set the microphone to do that. So the microphone itself gets 5 stars, the problem I have is with the seller and the reason for the 2 stars.I paid this seller 34.99 for shipping! I have ordered many things from different Countries and never had this happen before. I received a "BILL" from DHL (customs duty invoice) that requires ME to pay an EXTRA 18.73!! What's even funnier is it was delivered by UPS! It lists this microphone on the bill and claims the value to be 249.59 so that raised the price of this customs duty bill to the 18.73! I contacted this seller ASAP about this because I have NEVER heard of this before and they responded with basically, yes sometimes the US gets these customs duty invoices. ARE YOU SERIOUS!! I PAID OVER 30 DOLLARS FOR SHIPPING! This is something that should be taken care of by the seller!!So, if you live in the US and you order this, you WILL get a bill from DHL and have to pay EVEN MORE in shipping charges!!

Stopped working in less than 3 months of regular use. Was told by Editors Keys that since I bought it from amazon it wasn't their problem and amazon only has a one month return policy. Do not buy this mic, the customer support is horrible and if anything goes wrong you are down a lot of money and it's too bad for you.

Seriously have never had this much issue with a mic not working. After purchasing i found out I wasn't the only one. Originally this went on my win 7 pro but it wouldn't work if I didn't unplug the mic before booting the pc. Soon the usb slot in the pc and the plug on the back became loose. I bought another system and was using Win 10 pro and it worked on that for the most part. Sometimes it would just quit with and error code 10. Starting using 2 mics so i made sure to always capture audio (2nd mic was $30 and never quit).Fast forward to getting a new pc again and now the mic will not install at all. I have done everything but it still fails. Getting support for this mic was a joke during my first install and it hasn't gotten better.

I didn't expect to get such a high quality microphone for such a low price. It's a condenser mic set up with two elements that deliver a nice cardioid pattern. The analog-to-digital converter built into the mic does a very nice job. I had no trouble with the USB interface.The mic comes with two switches: One offers a 10 DB level cut. The other, trims off most of the bass. Unfortunately, it cuts too much off and makes my voice sound tinny. If I allow all of the lows through, it sounds tubby. Your experience may vary.

This is a fantastic microphone, I can't recommend it more highly.[edit] After using it for an extended period of time I have noticed that when I press record in my video editing software (Camtasia) and occasionally with Audacity there is a "blip". It's not a big deal and it doesn't change the otherwise-excellent quality of the recording, but it's quite annoying to have it in there and knocks my review down to 4 stars.

if you buy one make sure with them that they have bot baught it before and sold it on as its very glitchy with me talking get a blue snowball instead

After struggling trying to record a female pop vocal using a Blue Snowball I bought for video voice overs, I realised that the blue was simply not up to the job and my wife who I am recording was starting to think it was a problem with her voice rather than the Mic.I worked out that a Rode mic with a Scarlett 2i2 usm interface was the way forward but simply did not have £360 to buy that kit and we needed the vocal recorded immediately, so I took a punt on a £99 mic that had some pretty great reviews online.Well the results have been simply amazing, we now have a professional vocal recording and the mic works so well with my wifes voice I don't think we will be rushing out to upgrade for some time.Please note this is not perfect, there is a noticeable hum when no sound being recorded but given the all round quality of this mic I have to give it 5 stars for the recording quality, price and ease of set-up.The only down side was some major cock-up with the delivery but the guys at Editors keys did all they could to resolve the problem at cost to them.

Firstly, I love this mic. its great. been using it for my VO work for a while now, couldn't ask for better.that said, the case and mount arrived dirty, I'm not being picky. I mean filthy. and the shock mount in general was in pretty poor condition, or its manufactured to be this awful. I feel like maybe my mic was a return, or whatever, that was then re-shipped to me.I can't really complain, because it is a great mic, but ugh. the damn case and mount.

I really adore this microphone as it produces very high quality audio very well suited to recording female vocals. No problem with setup, simply plug into usb connection on your computer and you're ready to record your masterpiece. Asthestically the mic looks great as it lights up a lovely blue colour when switched on. However the light does serve a practical purpose as it highlights the best area of the mic to sing into in order to achieve the best results. On the technical front this mic is really versatile, it is omnidirectional etc., check out the full specifications. Comes with a smart sturdy padded portable case which is very handy for carrying mic around. For the price the audio quality is exceptionally good and I have no hesitation in recommending this microphone. You will also need to invest in a Digital Audio workstation which is simply a piece of software which allows you to tweek your audio. Audacity is a free programme which will allow you to experiment with manipulating your audio before moving on to a more sophisticated/quality piece of digital software. In my opinion having purchased other mics in similar price ranges e.g., Yeti - this mic knocks the sox off its competitors, as far as sound quality is concerned.
