For recording my videos I have always used a directional microphone plugged directly into my camera. For years Ive been fairly happy with it however deep down I knew there was better quality available especially after watching other voice over videos and seeing that they use a condenser microphone and not a directional one like me. I then came across this condenser mic for a fairly good price. Although I don’t need the stand that comes included I decided this was still my best option because of the excellent reviews and its always good to have a spare stand encase just encase I ever need one in the future for multiple person recordings.THE PACKAGING:The box arrived the next day from Amazon and was a lot bigger than I thought it would be but it was still well packaged and securely wrapped. Inside the box everything is organised into its own space via the Styrofoam interior which is great as it pretty much guarantees the contents will arrive safely and undamaged.The contents include:1 x condenser microphone, 1 x adjustable arm/stand, 1 x shock mount, 1 x very long USB cable, 1 x arm clamp, 1 x pop filter and 1 x foam wind cover.THE REVIEW:First off there are two additional things that have made my day with this. The usb cable that comes supplied is nearly 2 metres long which is essential for my use as I have to have the wire going around the back of a shelving unit as well as the desk before I can plug it into my PC. Without this extra cord length I would have had to buy an additional one – so well done Tonor! Also the clamp stand actually fits my desk too! I have a large IKEA desk and my two other microphone clamps don’t fit it as they are too small. But this one can actually opens up to a considerable size (56mm approx) and can easily be fitted to the front or back of my work area which for me is perfect! It is worth pointing out that the clamp is solid metal too whereas my previous ones have always been plastic.The microphone itself is very well built and feels as well as looks very premium. Once again it is made entirely of metal and has a glorious looking, glossy, black finish. It really does look very professional. The metal arm once fully extended can reach a height of approx 70cm and then if attached to my desk it can reach out to approx 60cm. To use the mic it is pretty easy too – you literally just plug it in and after a few seconds it will automatically install the drivers and then be ready to use with your software. Great for time saving and ease of use! I use mine with Adobe Premier Pro CC and Im happy to say that yes it does work very well with this program.The complete set up (with the stand etc) may take a good few minutes to put together but its still fairly simple to do. I recommend just making sure everything is fully tightened before you start using/moving it around.Most importantly however the sound quality that this mic produces is very high quality. It’s seriously clear which is what is required especially for when Im doing my voice overs. With this mic my voice comes through extremely sharp, far better than when im using my directional one which sometimes sounds as though im in a padded box!On the mic there is an up and down button for adjusting the gain which is essential so you can adjust the volume of the mic depending on where you are using it. On its maximum setting Im surprised how much it can pick up! During setting it up I tested it out sitting approx 1ft away from my pc and it could pick up the cooling fan! But in my normal seating position at my desk with the gain around ¾ of the way up then you can only hear my voice in fantastic crystal clear quality. You may have to tweak the gain settings a few times depending are where you are using it but once you have found your perfect adjustment levels you will be very happy with just how good the quality that this microphone can provide.OVERALL:For the price of this complete set Im quite shocked with just how good it actually is. Not only do you get everything so you can turn any room into a recording studio, but it delivers very high quality sound recording too. I had my doubts that once it turned up it would just be a cheap and cheerful package thrown together but let me tell you it most certainly isn’t. Its looks and feels great, is very easy to set up and use and most importantly your voice whether you are speaking or singing comes through in sensationally clarity! What a bargain! Really looking forward to starting my retro gaming reviews with this thing!

This is a great USB condenser mic ideal for beginning streaming/YouTubing/podcasting on a budget. It comes with the boom arm, pop shield and cradle and looks the business once put together. It was very straightforward to get it set up and running, no drivers or software to download or install.The mic itself is reassuringly heavy and seems robustly built, it comes with a USB cable to connect to the computer.The microphone was very quiet out of the box. I had to push the mic's volume up to max and in Windows device settings too to get a decent volume of audio out of it. I use OBS to record and stream and I added a noise gate, compression and expander to remove noise and further boost the microphone, I also used an EQ plugin to add some bass to my voice for that 'radio' sound.One of the only issues I had was the annoyance of having to hold down the volume up button to turn off/mute the microphone, I would have liked a mute switch or button.The microphone being a condenser means it is quite sensitive to external noise and when I was recording with a fan on it was very noticeable in the background (as well as mouse clicks), but this can be remedied with the correct use of a noise gate/noise suppression plugin if you're using OBS.I have now moved onto a more expensive dynamic microphone with XLR/USB, but I still would definitely recommend this microphone to anyone wanting an affordable and easy-to-use entry into livestreaming or YouTubing!

The media could not be loaded. As a musician and music producer i bout this on the request of my son for his gaming microphone. i reviewed this product in the following video, and really put the microphone through its paces. In Summary:This is an amazing value for money, the complete package makes it versatile for gaming. The sound quality is definitely a step up from the dodgy preamplifiers and microphones on headsets, computer or laptops. This is best suited for the aspiring YouTuber and Podcaster, but works equally well for Skype meetings. In a studio environment it does not do more than 16bit, which was limiting for me. However, when I tested the guitar sound it didn't sound too bad. All in all, if you want to upgrade your present sound system and need the freedom of movement, and want to look cool too. This is an excellent value for money. My son loves it and is the envy of his friends!
