Since more than 35 years I am testing now microphones of all kinds. However it has been a long since a sustained "WOW" would come over my lips. Just unpacking it was a celebration thank to the aesthetic and different look of both the mic and the shock mount. The small clip-on pop filter is rather a gimmick, but as a freebie it keeps in place and does the job, so I don't want to make it down. The manufacturer Samson has presented a wide range of products over the years, from crappy cheap up to highly professional. This microphone is top notch. I compared it to AKG C414 and Neumann TL-102 and - unbelievable - it left the Neumann behind. Punchy but natural lows and crispy and tranparent mids and highs. This is how a good vocal mic has to be. If I hadn't known the price, I would have valued it in the $800 to $1.000 price segment. You can't go wrong with this great mic, no matter weather you have it as a backup mic or as your main vocal microphone.Read full review
