Customer Review: Great Mic
I bought this mic to use for voice over work from my home. You can spend up to $5,000 for a pro mic, which I did not want to do. I did a lot of research on various USB condenser mics, and settled on this one, based on other reviews, cost, and simplicity. I was not disapointed. It is just as described...plug and play. The stand that comes with the mic stinks. It puts the mic off balance, and the smallest tap, will tip it over. If you are going to do it right, you need to buy a good short stand with a heavy base (about $25). You will also need a shock mount ($45), and a pop filter ($20). So when all is said and done, you really need close to $100 in extras to do it right. You can download Audacity (at www.audacity.com) for free. This is a great recording program, which allows you to record, edit, and add tracks...like background music. The only thing that I noticed is that I need to get really close to the mic to get the best sound, but that is not a big deal. If you need an inexpensive mic for voice recording, this is it!

Marshall Electronics USB.007 Condenser Microphone

The mic uses dual gold diaphragm capsules in a XY pattern together with low noise electronics and the latest in enhanced digital conversion techniques for pristine audio quality. In a demonstration CD a vintage acoustic guitar was recorded with a famous studio mic going thru high quality studio gear to a hard disk recorder and then was compared to the MXL USB.007 recorded direct to a standard computer. The results were nothing short of amazing; the MXL USB.007 sounded like a pristine direct to disc recording while the studio mic sounded nice but lacked punch or detail of the USB mic.
