Your adjustment instructions were very helpful. I never would have figured out how to remove that temple piece from the supplied instructions without your demonstration. Although I would prefer to have my microphone on the left, it was too difficult to remove that piece from the right earpiece so I kept it on the right. Maybe it is better on the right in case I need to use my cellphone in the left ear while wearing it. I wanted to get more length on the gooseneck arm and reviewed the instructions. The instructions say to pull it out laterally instead of sliding it back and forth. Although it was moderately difficult to pull it out of the holder the first time, each subsequent removal was easier. This method is definitely much easier that trying to slide it. As to the sound, having been spoiled by my Rode NTG5, initially was a bit disappointed. Once I adjusted the microphone a few inches from my mouth to eliminate the proximity effect, I found the sound to be quite good. There's really not a lot of selection in directional (cardioid) headset microphones in this price range. Thanks again for your demonstration and testing.
I have the exact same mic, and I bought it from > and for a short period of time, but I struggle a lot at the party from the way I set it. Are there numbers on the breaker in terms of bass, treble and kine? Did you miss me a little? Thank you very much
Hi Wu, where do I say that you need an adapter? At 9:34 I say that you shouldn't exceed 52 Volt because that will damage the mic. As you can see I've been connecting the mic directly into UR22 and the +48V LED is on, so I'm feeding the mic with the phantom-power of 48 Volts. No need for any adapters. You might be mistaken that the XLR is kind of big, but that's because it has a built-in Hi-pass filter, but it's the original XLR for this mic. Hope this answer is of any help for you.
To general question to give a good answer on. Some sounds less good and some sounds fantastic - as for dynamic mics. It's commonly about taste, like what speakers you preferer to use in your studio.
Sorry for the extremely late reply! If you look at 05:15 into the video you see that I remove the little piece of plastic, you do the same with the microphone since that one is attached in the same way, but it is sitting a lot harder, so you need more force. Hope that answers your question.
I can't tell since that depends on the taxes from one country to another (here we have 25% sales tax) and import costs etc, so that's completely impossible for me to tell. Then the price usually vary from one store to another as well in which country and city due to competition between stores. If you live within EU you likey will check it out on Thomann. Search on Internet.

I own the C520 and you need the high pass filter on when recording as it can have a little too much proximity effect when recording close to the mic.
That is very much true.

the ur22 audio interface already has a 48v phantom power, why do you need an adapter? is it because the mic can't work with 48v or what? Thanks

What is the sound quality of a studio condenser microphone???????
To general question to give a good answer on. Some sounds less good and some sounds fantastic - as for dynamic mics. It's commonly about taste, like what speakers you preferer to use in your studio.
Compared to tlm 103, is the sound quality good?
Can't tell since I don't have a TLM 103
good job!.
Thanks! :)
how to mount it to the right side?

Wow that sounds terrible. Thanks for the warning vid.
Price

You mean C 520 . .
Of course I do! That's what happens when a dyslexic guy writing something :o( Thanks for the correction!
sounds crap for an expensive mic!
