I first purchased this unit because of the price and my budget, but I did not use the microphne at first, I used another brand.
I tested the microphone one time on a recording and now my quartet is having to rerecord a CD that we were putting out.
Needless to say, I am very surprised by the quality as compared to the price. The mic performs as well as mics that are 2 and 3 times it's price.
