Editors Keys Studio Series SL150 Microphone USB | Broadcast Grade Condenser Microphone

The Editors Keys Studio Series SL150 USB Condenser Microphone is a fantastic microphone for the money.The microphone features a weighty aluminium build, and it feels like Editors Keys made no compromises when building this microphone. Sure, it's a slight step down from their SL300 variant, but at a price delta of $60, what do you lose? Well, you no longer have the -10dB option by rotating the microphone, a low cut frequency mode, and... that's about it. From my research and testing, the actual sound quality between this and its big brother is non-existent.The microphone comes in a hard plastic carrying case with two tight slide-latches. Inside of the case is some soft padding and a cutout for the microphone and its shock mount. The shock mount itself feels weighty like the microphone and fits the microphone perfectly. It also attached to my RODE PSA1 microphone boom arm without a hitch, and the whole assembly is supported just fine.Through my testing, the microphone sounds very crisp and clear, somewhat favoring higher frequencies. It is a perfect companion to my workstation and should last me years. If you are in the market for a USB microphone at the $150~ price point, look no further.

Oh my goodness, this is by far THE BEST USB microphone I've EVER used. No feedback, came in perfect condition, AND not only that but it came from another country. I ordered it on Feb. 24 and got it on Feb. 26...and that's MUCH faster than when I order something from other states. The only thing missing is a desk mount but that didn't include it so I'm gonna buy that separately. Aside from that, everything it says it can do, it does and it does it very VERY well! It's an incredible piece of equipment. This has been on my top buying experiences of amazon. Thank you Editors Keys!!!

I finally found a mic that does what I need and creates clear sound. Easy to install, and when recording, my voice comes across crisp and clear with no background noise. I tried a lot of mics available on Amazon and returned them all. This one is a keeper. I found a review for this mic doing a search so I had to try it. Best MIC for the price. Also got the mic arm and the pop filter. (see pic)

This this is great, but you do need to be very close to it unfortunately. Pickup drops off close to 6-8". Need to be right on it

We have been using this product for last 15-20 days. Performance is excellent. The most amazing part is that we don't have to use expensive amplifiers and other recording equipment along with the microphone. We just plug it to our laptop and ready to record. You do need a good quality microphone stand with it though.

Came in a nice professional looking case. Works without a hitch. Solid construction.

Well where to begain its a good mic for beginners but save another 100 and get the blue bird condensor mic had it for a week and cord already had a short in it

Fairly cheap for what it does. The quality of the voice recordings are amazing. I don't think there are many mics out there better than this one within this price range. I am not an expert, but this item is more than I expected. Thanks.

Ce microphone est tout simplement incroyable. J'adore son design ( surtout que nous recevons la dernière version du micro alors que sur les photos nous voyons la première). Vous allez donc recevoir celui qui est sur ma photo. Quand le micro est branché une lumière bleue l'éclair de l'intérieur ce qui lui ajoute un certain charme. La shock-mount livrée avec est également très bien et la longueur du câble usb est très satisfaisante.Il suffit juste de brancher le micro sur son ordinateur et c'est parti! La qualité de la voix est juste sublime, pas de bruit parasite. La voix est parfaitement retranscrite. Bref, pas la peine de payer trop cher pour un Blue yéti alors que celui-ci vous offre une qualité similaire voire meilleure.Si vous avez le budget et que vous recherchez un microphone usb, n'hésitez pas celui-ci est excellent.

It performs great.I use it in three areas: Voice dictation, Screencast narration and recording music.I've only had it under a week so far, but already it has saved me lots of time by reducing the number of errors I used to experience using a voice dictation software. The software performs so much better with this studio mic.I also use it when voicing over on screencasts for elearning, before there was just a slight discerning background noise (not noticable when I was speaking, but when I had stopped speaking it was there) now clear as a bell. Prior to this I used a fairly good jack plug mic and it did a job, but for the reasons stated above this has been an excellent choice, well worth the money.I've not had the time to use it for recording music yet. But one thing the SL 150 has over other mics is that it is not a desk top mic, you use a mic stand and this makes it more versitile for using when standing etc.

Don't know how much the radio stations pay for their mics but this one makes you sound perfect. My son uses it for making Youtube videos, voice-overs and just talking to his mates. It's cumbersome, though and not as handy as having a headset on if you're not bothered about the quality. But if you're into video making and have the right editing software (I use PowerDirector) then this mic makes you sound great. It's a USB straight in to the computer and off you go. If you want to use it as a karaoke mic it's no good unless you have a USB karaoke machine and the a USB mic CANNOT connect to a jack input.So if you have a video camera with a 3.5 external mic jack it will not work with it.

If your just starting out and want an easy way to record music or podcasts, this would be ideal for you! I still use it on many recordings. But obviously its not the greatest sounding mic out there, but definately does the job! Its hard to get your gain right though as you have no control over this so can easily lead to having a too hot or cold mic.

Been needing a new microphone for a long time and after being set on buying a Blue Snowball, my friend recommended me the Editors Keys over this cheaper mic - needless to say, I am not disappointed. Beautifully clear and crisp audio, easy to set up and very polished - only complaint is the lack of stand, however this really isn't too much of a gripe. Overall, an excellent microphone for a decent price - you definitely get good quality from the price tag!
