Cons

[su_list icon=”icon: ban” icon_color=”#f31e29″]

    • Many customers have claimed to receive low-quality products (except for the shock mount and cable).
    • Some users also claimed that the XLR microphone cable had to be purchased separately as they did not receive it in the original package and it gives a better sound experience. Luckily enough, this cable is not too costly and is available easily at any audio store.
    • Some users have complained about hearing a certain hissing sound while the audio is being played. However, the company has managed to cover it up in a subtle way.
    • When the mic is folded, the size is still quite long. This may cause some storage problems but can be overcome by arranging a space for the entire recording bundle.

    This feature helps it cater to all types of musicians, ranging from beginners to advanced musicians. It is also ideal for Single and multi-voice recordings.
