The MPM-1000 is a well-performing large-diaphragm cardioid condenser mic at a surprisingly low price. It is a great choice if you have access to phantom power and an XLR input port. With extremely low self-noise, this mic is virtually quiet and is extremely sensitive to noise. It will give warmth to your voice and work great with instruments. The cardioid pattern will eliminate back noise to enhance your recording. It also comes equipped with a windscreen, shockmount, tripod, and cable.
