## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good for the price
*by B***. on June 2, 2013*

Ive had mine for around 8 months now, I use it mainly for recording concerts as a room mic along with the soundboard feed. Sure I have heard better from a professional $1200+ stereo shotgun mic but when reviewing products it's only fair to keep the comparisons to other products in a similar price range.I don't have any noise or interference when using mine, but I am running straight xlr to xlr in on my mixer. Im guessing the people having noise issues are having some type of ground or impedance problem and using a xlr to 1/8 inch adapter on a video camera. They need to be sure it's also balanced to unbalanced, adapter, not just xlr to trs. Maybe finding a mic with a 1/8 unbalanced output would work better for them. Or they have quality control problems and I just happened to get a good one. On the Super Cardiod setting it's fairly sensitive, when playing with it I was able to pick up a cat purr at several feet with little background noise. Ive kept mine in the case and tried to be careful with it and so far had no problems.Too bad you can not use phantom power on it (some people have tired but the manual says nothing about it) but then again it's a low cost stripped down mic and the AA battery it rated for 1500 hours. That comes to over a year if you used it 4 hours every day.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Good mic for the price
*by A***E on August 17, 2011*

We replaced six Shure dynamic mics with two of the SGM-12s for our church choir. Through our Behringer mixer they seem to work fine. The sensitivity in normal cardiod mode is not good, but in super-cardiod mode, they are quite sensitive. They made a lot of noise on our small mixer with phantom power on, but on the large mixer they're quiet. They're not great, but for the price, they're quite good for our application.

### ⭐ Not a mic worth having
*by F***N on June 11, 2016*

The reviews on this mic have been somewhat mixed. Because of the price point and the 'if you know how to use it, it's great' reviews, I thought I'd give it a shot. I'm going to be doing some low $ production video and a shotgun mic was one micing option for I was considering for some of the shots.The good is that this mic has very high output and is very sensitive. The bad... (there's a lot of it) 1) this mic has so much self noise that I won't use it. 2) the cardioid pattern doesn't work, only the hypercardioid. This is a design flaw. I took the mic apart to see if it was a simple fix, such as a bad solder or a defective part. Nope. Just a really bad design. 3) the low frequency response on the mic is abysmal.I could dig in and troubleshoot the circuit design. The failure here is probably either a poorly printed circuit board that's missing a trace, or a really crappy part in a critical location or maybe even a wire that's attached at the wrong point in the circuit. Simple stuff. But, why bother? It was a gamble and I lost.This mic is a toy, not a tool.
