Pros & Cons
Pros
Sound is a little shallow at first, but with some placement tweaks, it’s excellent. Good build quality.
The critical aspect of this mic is the pin drop clarity and warmth to this mic. Pop sensitivity is like most medium to large diaphragm mics, so some sort of screen is useful for close mic-ing.
Cons
Don't get me wrong, i understand the appeal of lightweight and small, but the technology just hasn't reached the point where such a small mic can produce decent results. Will be contacting apogee. This is immensely impractical.
Highlights
Quality
Love the sound quality and ease of set up with recording acoustic instruments

I had issues with the usb cuttinglosing connection
Weak8 i wish it had a rolloff filter

Shipping
Luckily i contacted apogee and they told me they were sending me the cable
Packaging/appearance
I know apogee wants to be 34green34 and not use unnecessary packaging but really guys you need to have a tamperevident seal on the box
11 package does not come 34factory sealed34 so you wont know if it was opened — weird
Competitiveness
I have a 34deep movie trailer34 voice and this mic is great for that comparable to my akg or schoeps
I did some research and bought the apogee mic and combining it with a soundblaster dacheadphone amp it made a huge difference
Also the price is considerably expensive compared to other studio microphones
The difference in price for a mic is the company name maybe a few tweaks here and there

However that mic picked up every minor sound regardless of messing around with the gain knobs and eventually the mic didnt turn on after a year
