Excellent microphone
A surprisingly good condenser microphone despite its quirky looks. I bought mine because it was under £50, which is an absolute bargain. No mains hum on mine. It is very heavy and requires a solid stand or boom arm.

I collect Microphones. Not expensive ones. These are a bargain at the price.
These are good quality. Sound great. It is a no brainer at this price. I purchased two of them. Well built. Need a good stand to hold them. As they are heavy. Remember they need 48v Phantom power to use them. Very happy with my purchase. Thanks everyone. Amazon you guys have amazing deals.

My best mic in 25 yrs and the bargain of the decade
Purchased a few months ago for vocals,it's proved to be the best mic i've owned in 25 yrs and can't imagine anything coming close at the current and ridiculous price of around £35-40. Build quality is great and very heavy,but as mentioned by others,you need a heavy duty boom/arm capable of taking the weight. I would describe the sound as beautifully smooth and neutral,it work perfectly with my voice,full sounding lows,but not dull or muddy in any way,and very clean,controlled highs,not a hint of harshness. It's not quite as bright as my other mics from Rode,EV,AKG etc,which is not a bad thing,but may need a little eq for some applications. These and the previous version originally sold for around £250 when released and would say they were worth it,that's how impressed i am with this mic and given the build quality,should last a lifetime. At the current price,they are THE bargain of the decade,because they must have cost far more than this to produce. There are lots of reviews on Youtube,some compare them with 5-10 other mics,so well worth taking a look. Personally,this is the one for me,i think it would take a very expensive mic to beat this one and can see myself using it for a very long time.

Joins the growing list of great bargain mics
Got this after seeing it was on special. It might weigh a ton and look odd, but who cares when you've got a mic that sounds this good for the price of a decent cable! Sound wise it's surprisingly round and smooth at the top end, with a lot of weight in the lower end. I'm not sure I would use this for instrument recording, but for dialogue and vocals on the right performer, could sound amazing.

Fantastic mic...when it's cheap!
I bought this sold and dispatched by Amazon for £35, and for that price it's a no-brainer. Paired with a decent interface it's a solid mic (mine is connected to a Focusrite Vocaster One), though a little on the big and heavy side. Personally I like the odd look of it, though it won't be to everyones taste. I'd say it's worth up to around £70-80, anything more than that are there are better options.

Neat King Bee II
Beautiful sounding microphone, especially for the price - Picks up quite a lot of bass / sub-bass but a high pass around the 30-40hz mark tends to fix that - Pair it with a decently acoustic treated space and it's great! You legitimately cannot go wrong at the current pricing

Astounding value for a cheap warm rich microphone.
The richest sounding microphone in its price range by far, lovely velvetly mids. Big heavy and bulky but you can't have everything.

Should be removed from Amazon
The first King Bee 2 had a very obvious electrical ground hum. You do occasionally get a rogue microphone with a manufacturing defect, so I asked for a replacement. The second one arrived promptly and had exactly the same issue. Both have now been returned for a refund. I did think that £59.99 was particularly cheap for this microphone but its now obvious that Amazon have a 'bad batch'. It is a known issue with this model but its obviously a bigger problem. Don't risk it.

Que dire, le micro répond complètement à mes attentes, Le son capturer est nickel ( avec une alimentation 48V évidement ). la distance de capture est bonne et me permet de ne pas être collé à mon micro, le filtre anti-pop intégré fait son taff sans être extraordinaire non plus, le seul point a faire attention, c'est son poids ( +/- 1kg ) Bref comparé à mon ancien micro ( Micro à 15€ chez action ), la qualité est parfaite pour moi

Je l'ai acheté neuf à 49 euros en promo Amazon sachant qu'il est sorti à 169 euros il y a deux ans. Il me servira de micro de secours au cas où mon Lewitt 440 à 289 euros ferait des siennes. Pour le prix, il est excellent. Bien que moins ciselé dans les haut mediums que le Lewitt, il gagne en galbe et en rondeur dans les bas mediums et les basses, voire un peu trop si on colle le micro. Capsule ultra large oblige. Mais du coup il est parfait pour les voice-overs et autre utilisation en podcast. En chant, il est bon aussi mais il faudra un poil égaliser, couper un peu de graves et remonter les haut médiums. Mais là où j'ai été bluffé, c'est le niveau de bruit... Ce micro a un fonctionnement ultra silencieux. Je ne sais pas où le gars qui a eu un problème de ronflette a acheté son câble ou sa prise de courant pour son interface audio mais branché convenablement avec un bon câble, il est époustouflant de silence. Bref à 49 euros, ne vous posez même pas la question, il faut débourser 4 fois plus pour avoir un compétiteur digne de ce nom. Un bémol tout de même, il est encombrant et pèse son poids plus d'un kilo là ou le Lewitt affiche un frugal 500 grammes. A prendre en compte car les bras articulés ont souvent une limite de 1 kilo voire 1kilo et demi. Difficile de rajouter un caisson d'isolation qui pèse déjà un bon demi kilo.

Silenzioso, dal timbro scuro. È un microfono pesante e molto ingombrante, serve quindi un'asta o un braccio in grado di reggerlo. È un microfono sottovalutato ma dalla grande qualità costruttiva e sonora.

Gekauft für knapp unter 70 Euro inklusive Mikrofonspinne und mässig effektivem, integriertem Popfilter. Wer ein Kondensatormikrofon sucht und einen Mikrofon-Arm hat sollte hier zuschlagen. Schlägt m.E. ein etwas teureres Blue Yeti USB Mikrofon um Längen und sieht auch noch besser aus. Klangcharakteristik für mich auf Rode NT1 Level, nur effektiv halb so teuer wie die Signature Series. Optik und Verarbeitung ist abseits des farbigen, kleinen Logos sehr stylish und hochwertig. Gewicht sehr hoch, aber mit Rode PSA 1+ Arm kein Problem. Grösse ist ebenso ganz leicht über Rode NT1 Level, mit Spinne sieht es aber aufgeräumter aus als die Konkurrenz. Entkopplung vom Schreibtisch mit Arm und Spinne sehr gut. Klangbild auch bei größerer Sprechentfernung absolut überzeugend. Einzig die Unterdrückung von Nebengeräuschen ist schlechter als auf meinem (dynamischen) AT2040. Nebengeräusche bleiben seitlich auf dem selben Level wie meine eigene subjektive Hörerfahrung im Raum (und nicht deutlich leiser, wie etwa beim AT2040). In Voice Calls lässt sich aber problemlos ohne Interferenz mit Lautsprechern hinter dem Mikrofon arbeiten, in diesem Winkel ist die Unterdrückung auch sehr viel besser als mit dem Blue Yeti. Das hier oft beklagte Hintergrund Brummen/ Rauschen konnte ich nicht feststellen, da muss es sich wohl um eine schlechte Charge gehandelt haben. Wenn ich die Spektrogramme von Sprachaufnahmen bei ruhiger Umgebung mit King Bee und AT2040 vergleiche, erkennt man, dass das King Bee sehr, sehr viel rauschärmer ist, ganz besonders bei tieferen Frequenzen. Ich benötige hier eigentlich keinen Hochpassfilter mehr. Gleichzeitig ist der Klang natürlicher.. mit leichter Höhen und Bassbetonung und trotzdem noch sehr angenehm und natürlich. Vom Blue Yeti rede ich jetzt lieber nicht, das rangiert hier mindestens ne Etage tiefer als die beiden. ;-)
