I used this to record Pavarottis last concert. The sound was incredible with this mike and it was able to pick up the slightests of sounds, very nice and sensitive. Used this directly plugged into recording unit (flash drive) and could not be happier. If you have a problem its with your other equipment. Always use a flash drive recorder or it may pick up motor sounds unless you use the cord that comes with it.

I am a musician and own my own studio in Nashville, TN. I have thousands of dollars worth of microphones. This product is what it is and for the money is a brilliant little microphone. Even though I have a 250 track digital recording studio, sometimes I want to record without doing a major "studio" setup. I bought a Boss Micro BR and this mic to go with it. This is a fantastic combination. The sound is definitely studio quality. I did a location recording of a simple trumpet and piano. Rather than drag my whole set up I took the Micro BR and this mic and made a very fine sounding recording. I got a pair of windscreens that were made for a telephone headset. I put one over each side of this mic and never take them off. This mic does have its limitations and does not sound as good as my $650 studio vocal mic for sure, but that's not what it is intended for. This is for portability with clear crisp sound. With a Micro BR it's a phenomenal combination. I almost didn't buy the Micro BR because it only has a mono on board mic, but I ordered this mic to go with it and I'm so glad I did. This magic combo is a serious upgrade from a Zoom H2 or H4 and for less money - go figure. Sony - well done.

I'm using this mic with the Boss Micro BR and I'm very pleased. I record jam sessions in my living room that consist of an amplied bass, acoustic guitar and djembe drums. I set the mic up in the middle of the room on an improvised stand. The recordings come out very sharp. I played a session back on a surround sound system, and if you closed your eyes, you'd be convinced that live musicians were jamming all around you. The seperation of the instruments was that good.
