Our Verdict

When I first saw this product, I was a little unsure about its looks. The first thing that sprung to mind was 50's radio and unboxing it in the office sort of split opinion on design from mostly the male perspective. It also seemed to weight a lot more than I was expecting it too. It was well boxed and packaged and after taking it out the picture didn't do it justice. Once I set it up and plugged it in, I was pleasantly surprised at how crystal clear and well made it actually was. The price was not bad either for a microphone, it started to tick all the boxes and the first impression of design for me started to wear off and I actually found myself thinking it looked great. Listening to recordings played back just shows how clear it actually is, it sounds like your hearing it naturally occur again and it was a reasonable distance from the subject being recorded. I've had a few microphones of varying prices and never had something that I feel covers recording as good as this. Nothing more to say than I fell in love with this round retro recording goliath. Great!
