zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "c1 IS AMAZING !!!"

Sound: This mic simply gives back exactly what you put in, with no distortion, or loss of quality, when i play back a recording you cant even tell if someone is standing right in front of you singing or if its a recording, its that good , many compare it to a newman I have never herd myself through a newman, however this is the best mic i have ever used, and i currently also own a rode nt1a , so if your debating between the node mt1a and the studio projects c1 get the c1 there is no contest Feature: talk about bang for the buck, comes with a shockmount, windscreen, and travel case, and you cant forget the features on the mic Pressure-Gradient Transducer: 1.06 in. (27mm) 6um mylar diaphragm High Pass Filter 10db Pad great value these features are not normaly found on such a enexspensive condencer mic Quality: perfect rode nt1a cant touch it !!! Value: IN WHAT OTHER BRAND CAN YOU GET A HIGH QUALITY MIC WITH THESE FEATURES AND ACCESORIES I , YOU WOULD THINK THIS COST 10X WHAT IT DID !!! Manufacturer Support: I HAVENT HAD TO USE THEM SO IM JUST LEAVING THIS AREA ALONE The Wow Factor: IT LOOKS LIKE A VERY EXPENSIVE MIC Overall: I WOULD RECOMEND THIS TO ANYONE

Style of Music: country, rap, ext.

Sound: The sound from tis mis incredible! its very smooth without any processing. I use it mainly on hip-hop vocals and bought it to compliment my VS-2400 im about to purchase. Running it through a focusrite platinum comp/eq/preamp i was very surprised! It sounds more exspensive than it is, thats the truth! Feature: All the low cut filters we are accustom to! Quality: Is it comparable to neuman? In my professional opinion yes it is! plain and simple, the most bang fo your buck! Value: Its worth it let me tell ya'll! I almost bought a U87 a month ago, an am i happy didn't Manufacturer Support: Don't need any! No support when none is rquired is the best support! The Wow Factor: Easily the best looking mic for the price

Style of Music: Hip-Hop, R&B, Gospel
