I usually record instrumentals and use a cheap dynamic mic.

It won't beat a Neumann costing 10-20 times as much, but if you're on a budget, this mic may be worth a look.

I can't fault the mic, but this makes it less desirable for our already tiny (i.e. a former linen closet that has been converted) sound booth

Very good mic for the price and looks very professional

For any entry level producer this mic is excellent, completely plug and play with my interface

Overall, the Marantz Professional MPM-2000 Condenser Mic is probably the best mic budget-wise under $200 that I have worked with in terms of recording vocals

The mic is a touch bulky, so normally I wouldn't use this for portable purposes, but it comes with a sturdy travel case that gives you good peace of mind if you want to haul it around with you

This mic is ideal for that

Awesome mic for the price!

This is a great mic for the price.

I usually record instrumentals and use a cheap dynamic mic.

This is a perfect Mic for Podcasting if you are on a budget or you are looking for a Mic that offers you great sound to the recorder but won't break the bank

With that added cost, the mic is no longer cheaper than the others I mentioned above.

While I like the mic and am not entirely sure if I was suppose to get an XLR cable with it, that is not why I am knocking a star off of it

This is a good mic for the price

Surprisingly good quality for such an inexpensive mic

I would not be able to tell from the results that this is a relatively inexpensive cardiod mic.

If you plan to use this in a PA system, I would recommend making sure you have clear separation from your audience, otherwise a plain old uni-directional dynamic mic might offer less hassle

Great mic for beginners like myself.

Really great mic with any mixer this mic will sound wonderful

The Rode is a great mic, but, at $275, it's a bit of overkill.

This mic is great

The sound quality was excellent (I especially liked the vocals) although I can’t say it exceeded my other mics
