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.

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
