Advantages of the microphone:
Comes with two types of mounts, including a shockmount, and microphone stand custom cup mount. Customizable with upgradable parts online, Middle ground microphone between expensive, and cheap microphones, Only this microphone can be a "For Life" microphone capable of capture wide amounts of sounds and spectrums.
Disadvantages of the microphone:
Hard to find quality shields for, but can be easily fixed with a wrap around sound booth.
Author’s comment:
I upgraded from a generic rode imitation microphone, which i won in a Goodwill auction for $20, Was a good setup but definitely left me wanting more. An amazing Microphone, especially good for aspiring vocalists or VA's with a good sound stage and low sound floor, It's a perfect microphone for the price point.
