Amongst the best

Anonymous 28.07.2015

I researched a lot before buying this mic and i am totally pleased with the quality of it.
The sound is really good and if you bear in mind its cost, you'll find it awesome!

It comes in a box with anti-impact sponge, wich you can use to transpost your mic with safety.

Thomann packs it in a bigger box with very good care and they are super efficient at shipping. Go for it!

Best condenser microphone out there for the price! Wanted to try out cheaper condenser microphones to mic my overheads at home! It definitely has a little bit low rumble but learn to use it and there is no explanation for not doing good recordings with this! Insanen!

Great instrument mic

nikreiman 12.09.2023

I'm using this mic primarily to record didgeridoo, which is why I don't mind its tendency to pick up a lot of low-end frequencies. That said, I've done some other recordings with it and they sounded very clean as well.

Overall, it's a very solidly-built mic that is meant to be used in close proximity to an instrument. This is something that is really nice in my case, since it won't pick up any breath sounds and does not need to be used in a perfectly sound-treated environment. It has a great response for objects that are near to the mic, and nothing else.

Above expectations

Only 4 stars for features since it is fixed pattern, obviously. Other than that, I just ordered a second one to use as stereo pair. It’s the “sm57” version of the km184’s.
