Sound: I didn't like the sound so i am getting a higher quality of microphone. At least for the level of sound quality i was getting it wasn't worth the price. I am a pop artist so i recorded some vocals and was unimpressed by the quality. I haven't recorded a simple speech track but it may be decent for that kind of usage. If you are using it though distance is key. I would suggest test-recording at different distances to find the best for your voice. Feature: The stand is not very reliable. If I had decided to use this mic more, I would try to get a nice shock mount. I was also disappointed that this product, being a condenser therefore needing a windscreen, didn't include one. I was, however, happy that it had a direct XLR to computer mic input jack. Ease of Use: I didn't use this product to record instruments. But I did find it rather difficult to get great sound quality in a short amount of time. Quality: I recommend keeping a few extra 9 volts on hand. This product has a nice look. Value: no. Manufacturer Support: I have not. Overall: I planned to buy a new one a day later.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.

Overall: It works and sounds fine. All the parts are durable enough. Should be fine for basic recording straight to a sound card if you don't want to get a preamp or mixer.

Back to Product Information

Sound: I am a rap artist. I bought and tried out the DRK. It is good for a freestyle or a cheap five dollar CD, but it isn't good if you are trying to present yourself as a professional artist. Plus, after about four hours of use, the battery is too weak and there is a fizz in the background. I prefer phantom power. Overall it is a good microphone for begginers who are trying to make a demo in order to promote themselves for future professional albums. Feature: It came with the cable accesories to plug it in directly to the computer system. The stand is very breakable. Ease of Use: The sound isn't near as good as a more expensive microphone. Quality: The wires come apart easy. I had to use a different cable, just like the stand. Value: It ain't worth the pay. Manufacturer Support: It's not a great microphone. The Wow Factor: It's a real smooth white color, but sometimes, it's what's on the inside that counts. Overall: You get what you pay for.
