Unidirectional (Cardioid)

Directivity

Unidirectional (Cardioid)

Cardioid: Captures sound primarily from the front, reducing sounds from the sides and rear. Ideal for vocals, podcasting, and live recordings.
Frequency
20 - 20000 Hz

Frequency

Indicates the frequency range that a microphone can capture and is expressed in Hertz (Hz). The more balanced the range, the more natural and clear the sound.

Usage examples:

  • 100 – 10,000 Hz to 200 – 12,000 Hz: Emphasis on speech intelligibility, with limited low and very high frequencies.
  • 50 – 14,000 Hz to 80 – 16,000 Hz: Balance of volume and clarity. Ideal for live performances and dynamic microphones.
  • 40 – 15,000 Hz to 50 – 18,000 Hz: Rich, natural vocal sound. Suitable for podcasts, radio, and streaming.
  • 20 – 18,000 Hz to 20 – 20,000 Hz: Full spectrum with high detail and "air". Ideal for studio recording.
  • Below 20 Hz & above 20,000 Hz: Extended technical range for specialized studio applications.
Impendance
100 ohm

Impendance

Indicates how "easily" the microphone transmits its signal to the equipment (mixer, sound card, amplifier). It is expressed in Ohms (Ω).

  • Low impedance (≤ 600 Ω): Stable signal, less noise, ideal for professional equipment and long cable runs.
  • Medium impedance (600 – 1,000 Ω): Good balance, common in live and general use.
  • High impedance (> 1,000 Ω): More sensitive to loss and noise, usually found in older or specialized equipment.
Sensitivity
25 mV/Pa

Sensitivity

The sensitivity of a microphone indicates how strong the signal it produces is when recording a sound. It is measured in mV/Pa or dBV/Pa.

  • High sensitivity: The microphone can capture very low sounds, but it may be more sensitive to ambient noise.
  • Low sensitivity: It records louder sound sources without distortion, but requires more amplification from the preamp.

In general, condenser microphones have higher sensitivity than dynamic ones.

Max SPL
137 dB

Max SPL

Max SPL (Maximum Sound Pressure Level) is the maximum sound pressure level (in dB) that a microphone can withstand before it starts to distort the sound.

  • High Max SPL (e.g., 140-160dB): Ideal for recording loud sources such as drums, amplified guitar, or live concerts.
  • Lower Max SPL (e.g., 120dB): Suitable for vocals and softer recordings.

The higher the Max SPL, the louder the sounds it can capture without distortion.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
-

Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)

Indicates the difference between the useful signal and the microphone's noise. The higher the value in dB, the clearer the sound. A microphone with a low SNR may sound “noisy,” especially in quiet environments or when recording low-volume sounds. On the other hand, a high SNR means that noise is minimal compared to the sound you want to capture, offering a more professional, clear, and detailed result—ideal for studio, vocals, or high-quality recording.

  • 35 – 60 dB (Low SNR): Noticeable noise is present. Suitable for casual use or loud sources.
  • 60 – 90 dB (Medium SNR): Good signal-to-noise balance. Suitable for live performances and general use.
  • 90 – 110 dB (High SNR): Very clear signal with minimal noise. Ideal for studio, vocals, and high-quality recording.

    Since the moment I got it, it has been problematic! I have sent it for service twice; it works when I pick it up, and the next day it stops again! The response I get is that it's due to humidity, even though I put it in its bag along with a packet that is meant for humidity! I do not recommend it! Also, they told me to use a protector because it is sensitive to saliva; I did that, and still the same! The 2 stars are for when it remembers to work; it has good sound!

    I have been using it for about 1.5 years and I love it! Amazing microphone, one of the best you can find at this price. I have paired it with a Scarlett Solo (3rd gen) interface and it sounds wonderful. It is indeed quite sensitive but I simply lower the gain on the interface and I have no issues. I record in a room without soundproofing panels but I don't have any problems with reflections. I think you have to be in a really bad space for it to create such an issue. I mainly record vocals and the sound is truly crystal clear. It also has a good EQ, easy to adjust later on (usually small tweaks are enough). I highly recommend it!

    Well, I have had the microphone here for a year and I can say that it is the best choice for its price. At first, of course, I had it reversed and essentially recorded from the back, resulting in a very muddy sound, but as soon as I realized it and put it correctly, I was amazed at how clear it sounds. To summarize, make sure to put it on the right side and it is definitely the best choice for its money. Then we move on to microphones over $800, so for a budget choice, it definitely outclasses all other budget microphones

    From the first day I got it, if it gets a little moisture (e.g. when I speak too closely), it completely loses the signal and short circuits. This is very bad. I've had it since August 2021 and I didn't have any issues with a pop filter, but when used without it, it's very annoying. And in the last week, it's been acting up and not giving any volume. I tried it with a Motu M2 and a Scarlett 2i2, and with different cables, so we conclude that it has some issues as a microphone. With daily use, it disappointed me for the first time this year, hence the 4 stars. Otherwise, it has very good sound in an environment with good acoustic treatment. Otherwise, you'll even hear the kitchen hood, as it is very sensitive.

    I have it for 10 years. I have changed several times buying different but newer USB microphones supposed to have technology etc, but in the end I always go back to this one! We're talking about a great microphone! It's good for singing and for speeches. Always keep in mind that these microphones require a good sound card, a good computer, and a good room with sound-absorbing panels, otherwise the reflections go wild. Crystal clear sound in every aspect.

    Well, I have the microphone above for some time. The microphone is standard, the best you will find under 200 euros. Truly the quietest microphone in the world. Grab the Rode PSA-1 and you're set. I have combined it with the Soundcard Focusrite Scarlett 2i4. The installation is complicated but worth it. For voice recording, live streaming, etc. it is really WHAT YOU NEED!!

    It is a good product but not as advertised, etc. You definitely need a good space and yes, it does the job. For a home studio, it is average. The construction is very good. Sound quality starts from poor, I would say, and reaches good depending on the space and purpose.

    From the first day I got it, if it gets a little moisture (e.g. when I speak too closely), it completely loses the signal and short circuits. This is very bad. I've had it since August 2021 and I didn't have any issues with a pop filter, but when used without it, it's very annoying. And in the last week, it's been acting up and not giving any volume. I tried it with a Motu M2 and a Scarlett 2i2, and with different cables, so we conclude that it has some issues as a microphone. With daily use, it disappointed me for the first time this year, hence the 4 stars. Otherwise, it has very good sound in an environment with good acoustic treatment. Otherwise, you'll even hear the kitchen hood, as it is very sensitive.

    I have it for 10 years. I have changed several times buying different but newer USB microphones supposed to have technology etc, but in the end I always go back to this one! We're talking about a great microphone! It's good for singing and for speeches. Always keep in mind that these microphones require a good sound card, a good computer, and a good room with sound-absorbing panels, otherwise the reflections go wild. Crystal clear sound in every aspect.

    I have had the microphone for 2 years in combination with the specific sound card, the M-audio M-Track 2x2M, and it is very good. I highly recommend it!

    Well, I have the microphone above for some time. The microphone is standard, the best you will find under 200 euros. Truly the quietest microphone in the world. Grab the Rode PSA-1 and you're set. I have combined it with the Soundcard Focusrite Scarlett 2i4. The installation is complicated but worth it. For voice recording, live streaming, etc. it is really WHAT YOU NEED!!

    One of the best (if not the best) options in terms of value for money. A quick search online will reveal plenty of reviews, I have nothing else to add.

    It is a good product but not as advertised, etc. You definitely need a good space and yes, it does the job. For a home studio, it is average. The construction is very good. Sound quality starts from poor, I would say, and reaches good depending on the space and purpose.

    For its price, it is impeccable! I believe it is the best in its category. Clean sound, without interference and special fuzziness. I am absolutely satisfied as long as I use it :)

    Excellent value for money with very high-quality construction, including the 6m XLR cable that comes with it.

    Unbreakable microphone...4 years together and everything is perfect. You will only produce bad sound if you have a very bad space

    It's no coincidence that its sales are countless
    perfect sound quality even in a non-soundproof environment
    you hear the voice with liveliness as if someone is singing in your ear
    The entire frequency range is crystal clear and with almost zero processing it achieves a professional result

    Since the moment I got it, it has been problematic! I have sent it for service twice; it works when I pick it up, and the next day it stops again! The response I get is that it's due to humidity, even though I put it in its bag along with a packet that is meant for humidity! I do not recommend it! Also, they told me to use a protector because it is sensitive to saliva; I did that, and still the same! The 2 stars are for when it remembers to work; it has good sound!

    I have been using it for about 1.5 years and I love it! Amazing microphone, one of the best you can find at this price. I have paired it with a Scarlett Solo (3rd gen) interface and it sounds wonderful. It is indeed quite sensitive but I simply lower the gain on the interface and I have no issues. I record in a room without soundproofing panels but I don't have any problems with reflections. I think you have to be in a really bad space for it to create such an issue. I mainly record vocals and the sound is truly crystal clear. It also has a good EQ, easy to adjust later on (usually small tweaks are enough). I highly recommend it!

    Well, I have had the microphone here for a year and I can say that it is the best choice for its price. At first, of course, I had it reversed and essentially recorded from the back, resulting in a very muddy sound, but as soon as I realized it and put it correctly, I was amazed at how clear it sounds. To summarize, make sure to put it on the right side and it is definitely the best choice for its money. Then we move on to microphones over $800, so for a budget choice, it definitely outclasses all other budget microphones
