Signal-bleeding from other sources can be minimized quick and easily. Moreover, for on-stage applications gain-before-feedback can be maximized. PEAK HOLD LED View larger PEAK HOLD LED The polar pattern indicator LEDs also provide an overload indication. With conventional peak indicators, overload peaks lasting only for a fraction of a second may easily escape your attention. The new peak hold function makes sure you will notice even the shortest overload peak: If the output level of the microphone exceeds the overload limit, the currently active polar pattern LED will change to red for about 3 seconds.

It was a struggle to determine just how much to spend on a mic for our start-up podcast. Everyone says start small, you can always upgrade. Well, my friends, I don’t want to always be upgrading. You spend more, in the long run, that way. There are other places to save money, but your voice IS the podcast.
I read reviews for weeks, you know what I found out, people that write these reviews get a commission if you buy the mic from there link. Which made my skeptical mind think, just how unbiased are they?

I own many mics and they all have their own characteristics. The standout characteristic of this microphone is it’s very low self-noise. At 50dB gain, in my “quiet” room, on a very quiet Liquid Channel preamp, I register ~ -110dBFS across the spectrum. This is sensational for my recordings of quiet sound effects and acoustic guitar.
Particularly with an acoustic guitar, paired with a small diaphragm condenser mic, the sound is just beautiful. Quiet picking or a strum sustaining never gets caught up in the noise floor. I can crank the track all the way up in post and never hear more than room noise.

These are the standard for a reason. These sound amazing very transparent. Great for overheads and everything else.
