I got the EM91C (XLR Version) from Amazon. I recently sold it after 5 months, because I wanted to try another mic and it lost compared to the used AT 2035 I bought, and the Behringer XM8500, which is really what I consider the budget king of mics, if you want something with character for podcasting and gaming. Liking the XM8500, I sold the Mackie and purchased a Behringer SB78A. That mic is also decent for the money, but only if you talk straight into it and de-ess / cut highs. Back to the Mackie.... I bought the Mackie after seeing the video review on Podcastage, and it is exactly as expected and reviewed there. Before you buy this mic, look at the spec sheet and know this mic has the highs rolled off compared to other condensers. Because of this, you will find this mic works well for simple long form spoken word, but you'll want to add a low cut (also called high pass) around 100hz, or it will sound muffled or muddy. It is not a good choice for instruments or singers who want a big/wide sound, IMHO. If you want something for music, my suggestion is to spend a bit more for the wider but neutral AT2035 (Which is a step up from the 2020, and doesn't have the 2020's slight excessive high boost) OR spend a little more on the AT4040 (used they are a great buy for the money) which is a studio standard. Bander from Podcastage talked about what instruments he liked and did not like this mic on. If you want a big sound as cheap as possible, skip the cheap condensers and get a Behringer XM8500. Nothing below $100 comes close to it. The Mackie excels at long form spoken word, specifically for those who have overly-sibilant voices (harsh "S's" in speech). I EQ'd the bass to roll off from around 100hz, and it's not required, but I also pulled it down a bit between strategic places at 250 and 500hz . I also brightened the highs maybe 2db from 5,000hz up, but I also feel you don't have to do that unless you want to brighten it more. I like how it handles sibilance. Without EQ, its character borders on dull and a bit overbearing in the lows -- you may not like it 'up close' until you roll off below 100hz. Once you do, the mic's character becomes pleasing. This is a mic which provides a very pleasant long form sound for someone like me -- a teacher looking to create clean vocals for 30 minute teaching videos, so long as I trim those lows below 100hz to balance it out. With the muddy lows removed, this does a better job of keeping room noise out of the mic compared to my "better" mics, and has a forward-sounding mid to low-midrange. More on that, below. Next, as a teacher, I don't have to be right up on this mic face-first, like with what dynamic mics tend to need before they drop volume. I can move around a little. This mic is also a nice kit with a shock mount and mic. There are other mics cheaper than this that sound "OK" but have harsh Chinese-like highs that become annoying, or are just kind of meh (Neewer). There are better mics for $30 more than this (Blue Ember) but they don't provide a shock mount, and you're soon sinking more money into them and find yourself far out of the Mackie's price range. The Neat Worker and King Bee mics, a bit more but in the budget range, also sound very nice, but have a very "different" look to them, and I've seen reviewers complain that noise was getting into those mics from outside sources. I haven't experienced this issue with the Mackie. So for what it is, this mic is an OK value, and very usable if you EQ a fair amount. Would I buy it again? Doubtful. I'd spend less and get the XM8500, or along a more condenser-like style, an AT2020 or 2035. Note that I have a moderately well-treated recording room, with several thick moving blankets covering the walls and laying around. If you cannot pull off a room like this, avoid the larger diaphram condensers and get a dynamic mic like the Behringer xm8500, Samson Q2U or Shure SM58. Or look into that Behringer SB78A, which is a small diaphram condenser in a handheld format (it does well at rejecting noise). Those are excellent, but you will need to get in closer and add a sponge or pop filter.

**UPDATE** After trying to use this mic in voice over, it just sounds terrible. Loud hum, can't even get the audio into the red in Final Cut Pro. This mic is garbage and i'll be returning it ASAP. Who designed a usb-c mic that won’t work with a usb-c cord? You must use a usb-a to usb-c adapter, if you are using this on any device that does not have a usb-a port. The sheer idiocy of this is mind boggling.

There must be only one cheap microphone factory in China since they seem to be made the same regardless of brand. The Mackie condenser mic is constructed on the same frame/case as the Neewer. It uses the same (dime size) condenser capsule and sounds very much like the Neewer NW-700. Internally, the Neewer holds the capsule in a hard plastic frame that transmits lots of handling noise and rumble while the Mackie uses a rubberized holder so it doesn't. That's about the only difference I could find. I disassembled the Neewer and attached the capsule holder to the mic body with a dab of silicone and now they both sound identical. Both are fairly good for spoken word and certain instruments (guitar). Not as muddy in the low end as some cheaper mics. I'm fairly happy with it. The next step up is the Shure MV7 for $250 (which doesn't need a phantom power supply) and is both XLR and USB. More expensive but it's that much better. But for the money, the Mackie is good enough for most spoken word recordings and is very sturdy (all metal).

- I looked at numerous dynamic mics and once you move past 3 feet, you sound like you are in a drum. - I looked at numerous condenser mics and they were all too sensitive and bright. Almost all mic reviews have someone softly whispering into the mic and calling it singing, some useless spoken word podcasting (eq is always added anyways), and nothing really about how it sounds with an actual trained vocalist singing opera or lieder/classical rep. As a voice student, you try half a dozen mics and end up with stupid money or something that is useless beyond 3 ft. This needs an adapter with it, but it's great. - This replicates the sound of a SM58 and honestly sounds like a dynamic mic when you get loud enough. It sounds like nothing, nothing, useless, is this working? Then you sing at full volume at 5-8 ft from it and it sounds perfect. Almost no background noise, just you and the room you are in. NOTE - it is a solid 4/10 mic as a condenser, and a solid 5/10 mic for podcasting. Still amazing for the price, when a 10/10 is a $400 mic on the same scale. But for solo voice on a budget, it's perfect. Put it 45 degrees to your singing about 5-6 feet away and enjoy.

I like this microphone and its sound. I was very frustrated when I found that it only works with an adapter to make it go from old USB to C. That is why I have docked it a star. I have tested it at home and will put it to a proper test when using it from church tomorrow hen I use it for a zoom service. The build seems solid and good. The mini mike stand is very modest and will out it on a proper stand tomorrow. All in all it is value for money except for the quirky need to use an adapter. I used this mike for our church service and was very impressed with its performance. It is crisp, easy to mute and adjust volume. All in all a great mike for a modest system. I am still bugged by its inability to use a c to c type cable.
