Condenser Microphone Bundle, ALPOWL BM-800 Mic Kit with Live Sound Card, Adjustable Mic Suspension Scissor Arm, Metal Shock Mount and Double-Layer Pop Filter for Studio Recording & Broadcasting (Gold)

When I saw this bundle, it seemed "too good to be true" for the price, so I gave it a try. The cables, stand, pop filter, shock mount, wind cover, would cost more than $39 if you bought them all separately, not including the microphone or mixer unit. I recommend watching the 9-minute video review in the main post (flip through the photos and the last page is the videos). The product manuals that come with the unit are not great, but the video review discusses and demonstrates most of the key features. Based on my initial test of the unit, the little mixing board (or sound card as it is called), is underpowered for the microphone. Even with the mic volume, monitoring volume and recording volume set at the maximum, the unit just does not put out a strong signal for monitoring or recording. I tried connecting the output to my iPhone and recording the audio on my phone. It was a low signal that cut out frequently. It was not clear to me if the issue was the microphone or the "sound card" so I connected the microphone to my small mixing board (Yamaha MG82) and the microphone actually sounds good. Note: You need a mixer with "phantom power." This is a condenser mic, not a dynamic mic. The microphone is quite sensitive and needs to be dialed in with standard mixer controls (70% gain) and reduce the high end substantially. The microphone also has a very lightweight body and picks up vibrations, so the shock mount that comes with the mic is the recommended setup. THE BOTTOM LINE: If you have microphone mixer with phantom power, this is a great package for the price, but I can't recommend using the included "sound card / mixer." It is underpowered for the microphone. The microphone quality is better than what I would expect from a "very inexpensive" microphone. But works best if you connect it to a standard microphone mixer and dial in the settings properly. A few other important notes: - This is a CONDENSER microphone that requires a power source (phantom power). You cannot plug this mic into a non-powered mixer, or directly into your phone, for example, it will not work. - On the sound card/mixer, the "Monitor" needs to be turned all the way up to hear yourself through the headphone jack. - On the sound card/mixer, the "Record" needs to be turned all the way up to send your signal through the Live 1 or Live 2 outputs to a phone, etc. - The sound card/mixer is rechargeable and needs to be charged up prior to use. They also do not recommend leaving the charging cable connected while using the microphone, as it can cause interference. - The sound card/mixer also has a port for a dynamic microphone (not provided). I did not test that feature. Note: The manual recommends connecting the sound card/mixer to a computer. I did not test this setup and it may work better than connecting it directly to phone for recording or broadcasting.
