Review: Excellent high-quality USB mic at a reasonable price - Was the first mic I bought when I started casting, and despite buying a bunch of XLR mics and mixers, I keep returning to it because of the crispness of the sound, and - depending on where it's situated - the lack of noise. Whilst it's frustrating not to have the same mixing options for USB mics as XLR's without insane money on a USB mic mixer, it's a powerful mic with excellent pickup (I have a nursery behind my house and when the kids are out, the people I'm talking to think I have a kids party in my back garden). The USB cable is long and flexible (it's the same as a printer USB cable) which is of massive benefit as one of the few issues is if space is limited, the microphone can pick up residual buzz from proximity to a PC itself, so try to keep it away from that as best you can. I don't recommend any desk stand being a foot stand, they are prone to toppling because, unlike XLR's, it's a heavy bit of kit, so you'll spend some time working on the positioning. It may be worth investing in a desk stand with a ring base. or a floor or g-clamp stand. None of this is a criticism of the mic itself which is excellent value for money and a great quality mic for new casters/streamers.
Review: Value for money - I picked up this mic in a sale for around £30 to replace an 8 year old blue yeti that had broken. It was easy to set up, just had to plug it in and windows takes care of the rest. It was a little on the quite side, so upped the gain in windows to 100%. I was really surprised by the sound quality, it was barely any different to my blue yeti and was 1/4 of the price. So if you're looking for a great quality microphone for a good price, then this is probably one of the best options.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Punches well above it's weight - good value
*by T***F on 10 February 2021*

For the £49 I paid for the basic no-accessories supplied version, I really can't fault this. It is a very nicely made, sturdy microphone with excellent sensitivity and being USB it is plug and play with laptops and desktop computers. I did buy a small £9-99 tripod and spent a similar amount on a cheap pop shield because I use this to record voice overs and online lectures. Still the total outlay came to less money than the equivalent Rode microphone. I have found the microphone to be great for my intended use - YouTube videos, audio voice overs and recording lectures. Crystal clear. I've knocked off just one star because I have found the recordings to be just a little bit bass-heavy and it does not come with any kind of audio mixer/recording app so if I wanted to adjust the frequency response and am using Win 10 I would have to buy an audio recording mixer app. I can compare this to the Rode NT USB, as I have one of those at work. I would say the Rode is better in terms of what it is supplied with, and the recordings are a little better in terms of sensitivity and neutrality/frequency response. The Rode recordings are a bit 'colder' whereas the Marantz records voice with a bit more warmth - not necessarily a bad thing. Overall, super value and I was really pleasantly surprised by both build quality and performance. Just remember, if, like me, you go for the cheapest £49 package without accessories, go for a tripod and pop shield if you intend to use this on a table/desk for voice work.
