Awesome, cool, easy to handle mic
This is a great microphone, if you are unaware of audio settings it may take a baby learning curve but once that is met your solid, easy to manage, operate and handle. Can be mounted and runs for hours with 2 AA batteries. Also has a guitar and bass tuner, with metronome so if and when you want to record yourself its all game!

Willing to try support, if they would just contact
Unit appeared to have been previously opened. It had 2 sets of batteries in it, one was not standard. No English Operation Manual. Gain dial does not seem to work. Not sure this unit works correctly...Did not have an SD Card as advertised....did not have a driver disk, none of the driver updates worked online. I want to return this item and get one that was not recycled to the next costomer.
