Questions & Answers

joe s : Is this a large diaphram microphone?
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?GEORGE L : Great ValueMARSHALL B : PriceZADOK T : Im looking for a good microphone for music production and I hope I found what I neededSAMUEL T : Is a good priceSAMUEL T : Just tryouts this microphone the price is rightDAVID H : PriceROBERT D : Price.ANISH-BABU S : I need a cheap cardioid condenser mic for my drum kit’s high hats — the high hats are the ‘dark’ kind so they don’t make much noise. My current mic set up — an entry level Shure drum kit mic set — doesn’t adequately capture high hat sizzles and sticking very well. Rather than spend hundreds on a set of high hats, I thought I’d try this out — worst case scenario it costs <$20 and I could use the mic for other stuff. This mic fits the bill with its reasonable quality for an excellent price.HARRY C : Value for priceBRIAN W : This is an older tech microphone that truly sounds great. Obviously a close out because its worth much more.ELIZABETH P : Quality, low priceJEFFREY B : Used to use CAD e100 and loved it.. just seeing what you can get for $20TYREE B : Price first, then quality.ANA R : Good product at a great priceSILVANA O : I think is a good product

Rated 5 out of 5

Great value

Great little condenser mic -- I needed one for my high hats on the drum kit, and ordered this from Adorama. It arrived this morning -- I've already tried it and am thrilled! It sounds great, comes with a shock mount + sponge air filter that does a fine job. I've just gone back and ordered one more -- I'll probably use this second one for video calls or other voice over applications ...as this is a large diaphragm condenser mic it's well suited to such use.

Great with a slight modification

I modified it slightly by adding two 22nf capacitors inside between ground and pin 2 and ground and pin 3. Greatly reduced noise.
