Pros & Cons

Pros

Great mic for plugging into a computer, but also a great mic for recording music. Works great for zoom while routing it through obs in mono. Not a 5-star mic because that's really reserved for high end units. If you want something for music, spend a b...  Read More

Upgraded to this from a 5 year old blue yeti. The microphone is just what i expected. Mucho más barato que en retail de mi país. Tengo 2 unidades por ahora and if todo sale bien and mis necesidades aumentan lo volvería a comprar.

Quality


Quality is crisp clean and with minimal sound design compressor noise gate eq you can achieve professional studio quality


Works best recording instruments due to its wide frequency response


What you dont want is bad mic placement and overcompensating with filters


For those saying it doesnt have enough gain you need to turn on phantom power on the xlr input from your audio interface

Price


Very effective and at a great price


Just an overall good value when buying with realistic expectations


Nothing below 100 comes close to it


Definitely worth the 30 bucks i paid for and more

Shipping


And amazon delivered just when they said


The eta is almost 2 weeks but the item arrives almost 1 week only


I admit i did not know this and thought the mic was dead and sent it back a replacement came the very next day

Competitiveness


There are better mics for 30 more than this blue ember but they dont provide a shock mount and youre soon sinking more money in...  Read More


Before you buy this mic look at the spec sheet and know this mic has the highs rolled off compared to other condensers


There are other mics cheaper than this that sound 34ok34 but have harsh chineselike highs that become annoying or are just kind...  Read More

    I got the em91c xlr version from amazon


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I recently sold it after 5 months because i wanted to try another mic and it lost compared to the used at 2035 i bought and the behringer xm8500 which is really what i consider the budget king of mics if you want something with character for podcasting and gaming


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Liking the xm8500 i sold the mackie and purchased a behringer sb78a


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    That mic is also decent for the money but only if you talk straight into it and deess cut highs


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Before you buy this mic look at the spec sheet and know this mic has the highs rolled off compared to other condensers


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Because of this you will find this mic works well for simple long form spoken word but youll want to add a low cut also called high pass around 100hz or it will sound muffled or muddy


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It is not a good choice for instruments or singers who want a bigwide sound imho


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    If you want something for music my suggestion is to spend a bit more for the wider but neutral at2035 which is a step up from the 2020 and doesnt have the 2020s slight excessive high boost or spend a little more on the at4040 used they are a great buy for the money which is a studio standard
