This was the best deals I've ever had. The XLR cable is pretty much as you would expect. Clear sound with unnoticeable tone reduction. Feels like good manufacturing. The mic stand is built really well. Very sturdy and stable, even with a heavier mic in it, it doesn't budge. Also very versatile. Can be used on amps, vocals, drums, etc. So now for the real deal... the microphone itself. Honestly, this is by far the best microphone I have ever used. Including some of the more expensive condenser microphones I have purchased. If I had known about this mic beforehand, I wouldn't have wasted my money on my previous ones. The clarity is fantastic and exact. The sound you hear from the microphone is virtually the exact same as the sound directly from the source. Ideal for recording. Also, this thing is apparently built like a tank. In my studio, I'm always running around, trying to get things done. With the little space that I have, I tend to bang things around on walls, doors, shelving, etc. The mic has already suffered a few hits, but I have not seen any evidence of damage. Lightweight, versatile, reliable. Get this mic. In fact, get this exact set. All the equipment in this set is fantastic quality and SHOULD be worth about 200 something dollars.


OVERALL OPINION

I have tried plenty of mics in my musical career the Superlux e5 can fit in with the best of them. With an overall very warm clear sound that we all love for vocals. Not to mention recording live instruments as well with no hiss or hum. You can record with this mic in a regular room with no treatment and the sound still come out very nice and natural. The price is great for something of this quality. You wont find much of a better deal.
