Awesome package, especially for the price

Really nice performance and sound. Super happy with this and I highly recommend this to anyone looking to upgrade their audio capabilities. This is perfect for me, as a single shooter who just needs to have something that works and works well and is also easy to set up.

Great Isolation and SNR

The directionality and SNR on this microphone are super! We are able to get superb audio using it in our shop which is right next to the Interstate without having to resort to extensive post-recording processing.
