Ion Audio Microphone And Stand Bundle

I bought this product as a bundle deal with the Rode NTG2 Microphone to be used on top of a DSLR for run and gun audio when I don't have time for an external audio recorder. It works as described. You plug in the XLR to the mic, the other end goes right into your DSLR. Build quality is solid, it doesn't feel cheap at all.

The Panasonic DMW-BLG10 Li-Ion Battery and Charger Travel Bundle came quickly. I like having a second battery charging while still using my camera.

a great bundle to get great audio from a distance, definitely recommend!

I purchased this shockmount to use on my Audio-Technica ATR2500 microphone, and it works perfectly. I use mine on a boom stand, and the mount fits two different sizes of stand, so chose the larger thread to suit my needs.

It's just the right length for my application. I have a tight working area for audio. I have the boom on a microphone stand behind the rack and it comes through from the back, so that the microphone is positioned directly over the mixer. Plenty of adjustments make it fit almost any application.

Setup was very easy for this microphone. It is a simple plug & play use. I tested it with garageband on a mac computer and audacity on a windows computer. Both worked seamlessly. The audio recording quality was better than I expected for paying this price on a microphone. Vocal recording is very nice (singing/podcast type applications). Acoustic guitar recording sounded great. Acoustic guitar was about 8 feet away from the mic when testing it out. I imagine fine tuning my recording process will only make it sound better. I used the mic to record a band practice session. I just placed the mic in the center of the room and played around it. The mic worked surprisingly well to pick up the instruments (recorded in garageband). Obviously this technique is not going to sound amazing but it is better than I have recorded other times with a TASCAM device or other microphone into a computer. The overload led light is nice to visually show you when the microphone input volume is set too high. I have been typically running at 20-30% when testing up-close vocals. So it shows there is an input range to work with. The microphone base stand is a nice simplistic setup. It does limit the positioning of the microphone on there but I believe this is what is intended. The stand will not allow for a horizontal positioning of the mic. Since I do not need the feature and do not think the stand was intended to do that, I did not take away from the rating. I recommend this microphone for anyone looking to have a usb microphone as a step above the bottom line microphones but do not want to spend money in the $100-$150 range. I imagine it would compete with those in terms of audio quality. If you wanted anything better than this, I would say to think about spending over $150.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Logitech Yeti Gx microphone has a premium look and feel to it. I was impressed how it was protected with careful packing initially opening the package. The weight of the microphone was also impressive. While not overly heavy, you can tell it was made with quality, sturdy materials by its weight. It was very simple to assemble and even more simple to use it. It comes with a desktop stand or it can be mount it if you prefer. I was glad to see a foam bottom on the stand to prevent scratching. This microphone is plug and plug. Simply plug into your computer and it syncs right away to use. I didn’t have to do any additional steps. The mic speaker swivels side to side to adjust to different locations. It seems like the audio quality is top-notch. The RGB lighting adds a cool, special ambience. Between the sleek design, quality materials and top-notch audio - this is the go to microphone.

We use this microphone on a 20' stand to capture the audio of our high school band's halftime performances. Works very well.

I found out about this product on an online audio recording board as a solution to finding a microphone stand tall enough for ORTF orchestral recording. It works great! Finally a solution to this problem! I have only had the stand for a few weeks, but I have used it during two live concerts with some pretty heavy large condensers at the top and it works amazingly. It folds down compactly and is easy to use. I use it in conjunction with the LifeSaver Sand Bag for extra security so it doesn't topple over. I could not be more pleased so far, especially for the price.

Great microphone stand!
