Well, it’s fair to say this is a great-sounding microphone, even if I have to admit I’m not a great-sounding person. It’s capable of recording at 24-bit/48kHz which is frankly more than you’ll likely ever need for gaming and streaming, but even a little light voice-over work should be absolutely fine too.
My acoustic treatment is helping with reflections here, but it sure doesn’t help with my tired and croaky throat this week, so please don’t confuse that for distortion. I had the radio on at a low level in the background on my Alexa, and my kids are playing upstairs throughout all these recordings, but I’m happy to report, this didn’t come through on the recording.
I just read through the official blurb from NZXT about the microphone, with the microphone near, mid and far from me using the included boom arm, and I’m really happy with the results. I could get some distortion up close, but just adjusting the sensitivity will soon sort that out, as I do have a very bass-heavy voice.
Playing the guitar, something I haven’t really done in two years, so forgive the sloppiness, worked well enough too. Close to the guitar I did get clipping, but moving to about 18″ to 2ft away, the results were very clean and consistent, unlike my voice or my guitar playing these days.
Please turn your volume down before each sample, as they have not had their volumes normalised, they are presented as-is.
