It's far from being a toy. Great quality. Sturdy build. Love the raw sound and processed sound. Comes with user-friendly interface software. I have two of them. I use it for vocal recording, zoom, and podcasts.

My podcast was suffering with bad mic quality after iTunes discontinued the Bossjock podcast software. I'd used 19" studio rack mounted gear prior to that, with expensive mics and patchwork software. This mic solved all the problems. Try to find the Youtube of Sweetwater's extensive review of this product. It comes with software that is fully configurable and works so well - it's really shocking how good this setup is. To top it off, the company has a TON of amazing Youtubes on How to for Studio One recording software...which is also included - with a ton of great plugins - for FREE with the mic!!! My only complaint is that the cords going into the bottom sucks very bad for the desktop stand that they include. They need to come out the back because this setup is terrible. But that is the only negative I can say after using this for about the past 15 shows of The 12-Step Buddhist Podcast. Check it out, the sound is great because of this mic!

I was looking for an upgraded USB mic for my home office, and some podcasting and saw that the Revelator online. First off all I am super happy with it. Set up was very simple right out of the box without using any of the included software. After I registered my Revelator I received a getting started email that was very helpful so I downloaded the software. Wow! With the Universal control I can Visualize all of my settings. Found that I like the Broadcast Male setting and have now adjusted the mic gain to 20db. Oh yeah, I highly recommend this product.

Awful software. Rarely works on my computer, even after changing drivers, changing computers, etc. It almost never boots properly, the headphone out frequently fails, requiring reboots and or replugging the USB jack. If I screw around long enough, I can usually get it to work, but it requires an extra half hour to hour of setup every time I want to use it, and the solutions are unpredictable and non-repeatable. The mic sounds OK, IF you can get it to work. Their tech support has not been helpful at all, and of course, but now it is far after the return period. DO NOT BUY THIS MICROPHONE.

The included software makes this USB Microphone a great deal. The microphone options produce a professional sound.

I love this microphone as it is nicely made, solid and well built. Although it has some flaws. First of all the connectors are on the bottom, which is great; but the base is very short so I end up often bending the wires; which add stress to the connectors and I imagine in a bit this will take a toll on the connectors that will break. Not sure what was the deal to make the base a tad taller. The other problem is the software: not Studio One, which is awesome as DAW; but the software on the mic itself. When you plug it in it does not remember the last settings; so you end up with the effects always enabled, no matter what, and need to explicitly turn them off every time you plug the mic (you can say let it plugged in? That would work if I had enough ports, but I need to swap the USB-C port with other devices, so I just plug it when I need it). Beside those issues, the mic works great; and there are a lot of interesting effects to use and settings, but the training material/manual is totally useless. I can see why this mic is heavily discounted, but that does not mean that it is a bad mic; as it works great.

Muy buena captación de audio, y fácil de instalar y configurar

The software that comes with it and the sound quality makes this the best condenser mic in the price range imo.

Lo compre bien de precio... 40 euros. El micro es de calidad 80 euros... problemas,,, la interfaz de configuracion es solo para windows.... y no encuadra bien en la pantalla.... al final utilizo micro antiguo, q es plug and play y punto

I bought for podcast recording and there is no single minute in my recording without crackling noise. While trying so many setting and buying new cables, changing my pc electricity plug, I lost the return window and I am stuck with this mic.

Parfait et très bonne qualité de son je recommande

This microphone has a load of settings but there are two problems with it that renders it useless. The playback has crackling sound regardless of what settings you use. The recording has crackling sound regardless of what setting you use. The software and the hardware is seriously underpowered. Invest in pro-audio gear if you are an artist and want to record.
