Review: Insane deal at $75 - This is an amazing microphone at $75. I would not pay $150 for it, but $75 is a hard price to beat for the quality you receive. It is a warmer sounding mic with a narrow pickup window. It is plug and play with almost any XLR unit. This mic WILL require 48v phantom power. This would make a great podcasting, recording, and/or Discord mic. Its metal body and mic mesh cover all feel high quality.
