VSM-7 Condenser Mic

This microphone worked great for me. I set it on bidirectional and connected it to my mixer/amplifier for a 4 member bluegrass band to play live in a small auditorium. It picked up their instruments and voices nicely, and delivered clean, clear sound. I also tested the unidirectional and omnidirectional settings, and all worked well. This mike is a good buy!

Mic quality is fantastic! Love the switch options and how easy it is to use. Movo offers great customer service as well - the shock mount I received had a loose hinge that wouldn’t tighten and I was worried I couldn’t get a replacement through Movo as I bought the “Like New” option via Amazon, but after emailing their customer service inbox they promptly sent me a fixed part. My at-home voiceover studio quality is much better now!(:

How is this so inexpensive? This is a really nice mic that I found through a you tube review. I'm using it in studio for recording vocals but this would also work great for podcasting or voice overs on a budget. I have several other much more expensive mics but this is now my favorite. Not using the built-in pop filter because I prefer to use the metal mesh kind, but it will work if you have nothing else available. Shock mount does it's job. Overall I'm really happy with it so far.

needed to upgrade from basic dynamic mic. doing more voice work for education videos and other projects.first unit shipped had intermittent hum, replacement unit is very quiet. it does pick up more background noise (e.g. fans, a/c, etc.), but less so than some other condenser mics when positioned well.feels substantial, metal housing. shock mount ok, wish it had a gimbal. it's heavier than my other mics -- near the limit of my admittedly inexpensive boom arm.so far, very good on second try!

Purchased this to get better coverage of a group of 5 to 10 singers at our Church. The standard mics weren't working as the choir has grown. Love that it can be switched between forward and omni-directional. Great sound quality too.

Mic is great, sensitive and versatile. Associated hardware is junk; flimsy, underbuilt and fragile.Disappointed.

For the price you can't really beat what this mic offers. I've done two different projects and if I didn't tell them they'd have no idea this was done in a home studio...using this mic! It's sound pick up is quite sensitive though so pick your sound focus (from one of three choices) based on what kind of recording you're doing. Then make sure you have as much sound proofing as possible and keep all surrounding noise that is within your control to a bare minimum.This mic in my opinion is great at giving that warm tone or feel. Great for those especially with lower/deeper voices. The only issue I had is some of the pieces that surround the mic are very fragile. I was simply tightening one side of the mic where there is a bolt and half of that piece actually cracked and broke. So now I will have to glue it if I want it to be the way it was. I found a way to make it still work I just couldn't believe it broke like that. If it worsens I will update and adjust my rating. It looked like it was either plastic or made of very cheap metal.I wonder if they would even replace this small piece if I brought it to their attention. But my review is primarily about the sound the mic produces. So for this reason I didn't take away any stars...for now at least.

I coupled this with a Presonus 24c, for vocals and acoustic guitar recording. Maybe it's because I'm new to the "audiophile" world, but this mic is in a completely different league from the USB mic I upgraded from. The multi directional switch is pretty cool, though mostly it stays in cardioid. I'm sure I'll learn what the point of some of the other features are once I learn more about this stuff, but I am very happy with my choice of mic. A snaffu that is going to prevent me from giving this a 5th star. The shock mount is crooked, and there isn't anyway to really fix it. Seems like it was a QC issue that should have been addressed, but I will buying an aftermarket shock mount. It doesn't seem to affect the functionality, but it does make my eye twitch every time I look at it, now that I've noticed.UPDATE 2/26/23 I have found zero functionality issues over the past 2 years or so I've had it. That being said, I'm forgiving the shock mount issue and giving the 5th star. 2 years later, I'm still very pleased with it. Not bad for a brand I had never heard of until I stumbled across this gem.

This microphone works great with my scarlett phantom power. My main issue with the product is the XLR cable it came with didn't work. It's really low quality and didn't work from day 1. Because it's such a low quality item, I ended up ordering a nicer one from a different seller and now it all works great. If you can buy this mic without the cable and order a better cable separately I would do that in hindsight.

Looked promising on paper. Lots of noise and humm when plugged into audio interface . Sent it back for a refund. Bummed me out I really liked the mic.
