Even if you can’t afford professional room treatment, the off-axis rejection mitigates unwanted background noise, again, for its crisp vocal reproduction.

You will hardly hear any background noise when recording

Sound quality is very good, background noise is minimal, control over the volume and mix (of PC audio and mic input) is controllable.

You can turn this low output level into a pro, as it can negate a lot of background noise, this is truly a near field mic that you will enjoy

cause its not very good for anything else besides background noise cancellation and eating up gain.

Even if you can’t afford professional room treatment, the off-axis rejection mitigates unwanted background noise, again, for its crisp vocal reproduction.

The mic doesn't pick up background noise, such as my forced-air heating or my PC fan.

I bought this mic about a month ago and my experience with it has been amazing!The mic is built very nicely and feels very solid, the sound quality is very nice, but the amount of background noise i was able to eliminate is why i love it, and also how professional it sounds, it's a must have for someone doing podcasts or streaming!!

The sound is unmatched and it cancels out all of the background noise

This picks up far fewer background noises than omnidirectional mics.

Also, it is very good at not picking up background noise, even though, somehow, when it detects your voice, it picks up everything.

One of the best features is it doesn’t pick up background noise and being a Voice Over/ Narrator that is a very important quality that is needed.

With a lot of background noise in my room, I needed to make a change in my Mic.

I wanted something that sounded great and didn't easily pickup background noises

Picks up my voice and generally leaves out of the background noise

Eliminates almost all background noise and doesn't cut quality.

It's very directional and "selective" (rejecting room ambience and background noise),

Was never quite satisfied with the sound, especially when dealing with background noise

The microphone is golden on vocals (only use it for close-mic voiceover work), but the quietest I have ever heard when it comes to background noise

It just picks up a lot of background noise do to the tons of editing required to bring the sound levels up so far

You will need a preamp, though, to get a clean recording (I recommend a Fethead as it connects directly onto the microphone, as opposed to a Cloudlifter where you need two cables)

like me using a desktop mic pre or small Mackie, etc, I highly recommend using a Cloudlifter and quality audio cables with this mic (as well as with the RE-20).

If you're serious about getting your vocals to sound great, and have the money to spend I would highly recommend this over a cheaper mic as it will save money on upgrading in the future.

Whether you pick the Shure or the EV we with experience know that both sound as good as or better than condensers costing many times as much money for spoken word.

It might not be the most bassy sounding mic, but this baby is as clear and present as you can come across

This mic, paired witha good pre amp sounds amazing for soft melodies as well as for yells and screams

I like this mic a

C-1 Best I think, but they are close.

With thousands of dollars in my microphone drawer -- dynamics and condensers, classics and new -- I kick myself for not buying this mic sooner because this $350 bargain has now become my first choice for every vocal project.

I think I've found a good balance with the SM7 recently where the S:N is better than many of my condensers
