Iincredible Mic
By Phil Hawkins
I can't believe there are no reviews on this mic. It's the best directional mic I have ever seen, in 15 years of sound engineering. It's very very sensitive, yet very directional. I do not have the video any more, but I once recorded a voice interview with a freakin' helicopter landing behind me. The helicopter noise could be heard, but it was not overwhelming the voice being recorded. I turned around to test the ambient rejection and could not point the mic directly at the chopper due to distortion. I then turned around to my voice subject and continued the interview, unimpeded. It doesn't get any better than that. This mic is tough, sounds great and has excellent ambient rejection qualities. Can't say enough good about it. I've owned mine for 5 years and use it about 8 to 10 times a year. It is very wind sensitive, though, and it's very difficult to solve that problem. A real good wind screen is necessary and I have never been able to completely suppress wind noise. But that aside, this mic is worth every penny.

By Scott FS
I purchased this mic with the power capsule a while back, and I only had the chance to use this this morning during a film shoot. Combined with a Gitzo carbon fiber boom pole and a shock mount, the mic performed admirably. The sound guy running the mixer said the sound quality was excellent.I think one would be hard pressed to find a better, more accurate mic in this price range. Sound rejection off-axis is very good in my opinion, and quality of sound was very good. I will note that if you are booming for a non-static film project (i.e. the talent is not seated for an interview), one has to be careful to point the mic directly at the talent's mouth, since the rejection of sound not directly on axis is very good.I'm happy with this mic for this price, and heartily recommend it when sound quality is important.
