I have little to no experience with audio equipment, and i just wanted a decent microphone to experiment with. At this price this mic fits that bill, perfectly. It is possibly the greatest mic at this price point and if you are starting out it would be a great choice for vocals, guitar, percussion etc. It records all these reasonable well. The stand adapter it comes with is kind of useless on it own so keep in mind that you might have to look for something to hold it.

I use the mic strictly for recording. The quality is amazing for the price you pay. i would recommend this mic to everyone.

This is by far the best value in microphones I've ever found. With wide community support, you're sure to find this mic and valuable and loved addition to any mic cabinet.

Well I didn't expect it to sound that great for only $ but when I plugged it in I couldn't believe how good it sounded! Sure it was plugged into a $800 dollar daking mic preamp and using a mogami cable which the cable by itself cost more than the mic but WOW! I ABed it to my AT4050 mic (a $500 dollar mic). The MCA SP1 did not have quite as much top end and has a bit of a peak around 250hz which needs fixing with EQ later but for $, I can't believe how similar it sounds to high end mics. If you know how to EQ and mix and are on a budget or just need more mics. This is great. Is is a small diaphram condenser even though it is in a large condenser case so it will work better for instruments like guitars, toms on drums and any source where you want a warm sound. You can get many better mics for vocals but for most other things this is great. You won't believe how good it sounds for $45 bucks! I bought 8 of them.

I've been into recording since 1979 used a lot of microphones my favorite a sinnheiser but this mic preforms great on vocals ,especially bass vocals when EQed properly.Also does well on snare drums .high end is lacking some but overall for the money a great deal on a good product.

Wow, I'm impressed by the sound quality for the price. Never expected to get something that good for under $. Packaging however was... bad. It was broken and is kind on the minimal side. Roughly, I understand that I was buying a mic not a package, but it left some marks on the mic that I was not so warm about. But nothing to change the sound.

prepare my voice to getting better, no noise ruid!!!! Very good

Nothing beats this Mic for the price. I use them in my webcasting studio @) and they are superior to the SM58 we used to use by leaps.

I purchased this microphone to use in a home recording studio to record myself for the purposes of practice and make audition tapes. So far it has accurately captured the sound my instrument (double bass, acoustic guitar). After reading a lot of reviews I chose this microphone because it seemed to represent a good value and would be an inexpensive microphone to invest it while I learned some recording basics and figured out my DAW. I don't have very much experience as an engineer, but I do have years of experience in the studio as a professional musician, so while I can not compare it to many other microphones, I can say I am pleased with the sound I am getting in my humble little studio, especially for the price. If you are like me, on a budget and not really sure where to start with condenser mics you can't go wrong with the MCA SP1. Good value.

This thing is 97% of a U47 at 2% the price. Awesome!
