It is expensive, but it is worth every riyal

Very happy with this mic so far. I use it on a hand pan drum. I would have liked the cable to be a bit thicker though as it looks like it could be easily damaged if something gets accidently placed on top of it like a chair leg, keyboard stand leg or flight case. Especially being black on a dark stage you might not notice until it's too late. I understand they need to be lightweight for attachment to string instruments and such but any lightweight cable trailing on a stage floor is asking for trouble. Perhaps they could offer two versions - a lightweight cable and a heavy duty cable.

The photo is showing the inside of my kora (west african harp-lute) where I had to sand and use wood glue to attach this thing to the underside of the bridge. It's so convenient that it just requires phantom power to use. My Pickup The World pickup (the thing that looks like a piece of silver gum next to the AKG 411) requires at least 1 ohm hi-z input to use which isn't always ideal. I experimented with placement for about 5 hours and found the place I like best. One inch, 30 degrees, just the slightest movements make a gigantic difference strangely. The sound is definitely not a microphone but is clear and extremely low noise. Actually much lower noise than my Pickup The World pickup (must be because it's a microphone not a contact mic). No quacking or artifacts, but not the warmest sound ever like a really great microphone placement. I wasn't expecting it to sound as good as it does though. When you combine the two pickups L and R you get a phenomenal stereo sound. I highly recommend this if you are recording or experimenting with your sound. They really ought to ship this with some thick double sided tape instead of the horrible black putty. I used 3M outdoor mounting double sided tape and it worked very well - easy to cut down to the right size.

Amazing mic! I used it for Kanoun, it captured all the range and now I can hear myself with a lousy band.

Works beyond what I expected. As long as you have the right set up, it’s crazy what you can hear.
