The Aukey Studio Microphone

There are a lot of microphones on the market and trying to choose one that not only sounds good but is easy to use is a hard thing to do. The Aukey Studio Microphone does delivery great quality sound and is pretty easy to use. You get everything you need in the box, table clamp, foam wind screen, pop filter, swing arm, shock mount and the microphone. While testing the Aukey Studio Microphone I found that the swing arm was pretty good, it never sagged under the weight of the microphone, it stayed right where I wanted it. Adjusting the angle of the shock mount was easy as well, when I got it the way I wanted I simply tightened the screws and away I went not one did the swing arm or shock mount slip, sag or move. I even bumped my desk and tapped the swing arm and none of those noises made it into the recording thanks to the excellent shock mount.
As I mentioned in the video the foam wind screen does help quiet down your breathing and room wind noise, honestly though I use it for the simple reason that I do not want my spit getting on the microphone, after all we so spit a little when we talk. The pop filter did its job quite well, it stopped all of the harsh "P and Q" noise that usually comes through, depending on how you speak you might have to play with the distance of the pop filter, if you speak strong then the bigger the distance from the microphone the pop filter will be. Also take in consideration the program you use while recording, I use Audacity, for me it is easy to use and does the job.
Taking the price into consideration the Aukey Studio Microphone is an excellent buy, it is a simple, straight forward microphone that comes with all the hardware you need to do a podcast, narration/voice over, record seminars or what ever you plan on using it for. I gave it four stars because I had to boost the volume up some for the video, despite it being a bit quiet it does have a good clean sound to it. It has a nice clean sound as you can hear in the video, this microphone and kit is perfect for beginners and students, is it worth the money. yes it is.
