3 mics in one for a great price!
My first impressions of this mic have been great and the more I use it the more I like it! The sound quality is amazing and without any audio editing the raw sound is very warm and full. I'm not that knowledgable when it comes to audio so I don't do much post production. This mic has been great for voice over work as well as field recording. I'll adjust volume and maybe throw a couple audio filters on but overall I've been very happy with the raw... Show More

nice sound, 3 capsules, shockmount/windscreen included!
Its a little smaller than expected, but it works great! (Just remember to turn on phantom power!) included shock-mount works well, as does the included windscreen. And at an amazing price too! For kicks, I tested all 3 capsules and there IS a clear difference; not just some marketing nonsense, each one did as it should and with a nice clean and relatively neutral but high-quality pickup. Just be careful not to lose the capsules; buy a pouch to store it (there wasnt any included or listed as accessories, but a mic or small camera/neoprene pouch will do nicely)!

Great deal for the price point
This stereo pair of mics pack a lot of bang for your buck. Each mic includes three interchangeable capsules and shock mounts. My first test out of the box was on acoustic guitar and I was very pleased with the cardioid capsules. There was no notable distortion in the recordings and very minimal room noise. The carrying case is constructed well and road ready. I'd recommend this pair of condensers for anyone who is limited on both budget and space - It's like getting 3 pairs of mics in one carrying case.

Three VERY different capsules
Bought it on sale for $39.99, thus price was great. But the capsules that came with it so different in gain and self noise characteristics, that makes this purchase a mixed bag (literally). The best capsule in my opinion is hypercardioid with a relatively low self noise level, and medium gain. The supercardioid capsule is way too quiet, and the omnidirectional one, despite a relatively high gain level is very noisy. Not sure if this is by design, or just my copy has some quality issues.

Incredible for the Price
I am most certainly not an acoustic professional capable of detailed analysis, but the performance for the price is absolutely phenomenal. Its even better knowing I can use these mics with more than the standard hypercardioid capsule. The sound might not impress you like much more expensive microphones that sound amazing, but considering you get them for a much lower cost, I think I can work with microphones that just sound great.

Crisp, clean sound with various patterns
This pair of microphones produces very clear sound and offers several options for sound acceptance patterns at a good price. The cardioid and supercardioid capsules have very good off-axis rejection. The build quality, shock mounts, and case appear well constructed. The mics are compact and very light weight. I have used them only for voice work, so I can't comment on how good they would be for miking musical instruments.

Microphone Versatility in a Box...
Im really impressed with this combination, especially with the effectiveness of the various mic heads. The omni captures sound from virtually every angle and direction while the super cardioid does just the opposite and focuses on a very narrow field. Ill reserve reviewing on tone quality until Ive had more experience recording with them. But, for now, I have no complaints and I look forward to using them.

Excellent Product
This mic rocks! Not to mention it's super affordable. Needed an on camera microphone for a last minute documentary shoot I was doing for scratch audio. Was shocked by the audio quality. Now I'm using it on my boom pole and am very pleased with its results. The interchangeable capsules are a useful feature. Its basically equivalent to getting three mics for the price of one.

Indoor film/video audio
I bought these as an option for indoor audio, and for the price they are very good. They will be acceptable for independent films and paid work. you can hear the difference in the 3 capsules. It is like getting 3 types of microphones. You need a decent pre-amp for them, but they work great with low noise. For the price, they can be very helpful in your audio kit.

Diverse!
I picked up a set of SCI_3212 for some live interview setups. The interchangeable capsules were useful to have as options, because we were in multiple environments throughout the day. Because it came in a pair, I was able to use one on the boom, and one on the camera. They have a small footprint, so leaving one on the camera wasn't a big deal! Love it!

As expected
At this price point its pretty good. Youll need a pop filter if you use it for vocal when close proximity. I noticed the center contact in the mic body where it meets with the mic capsule off centered quite a bit to a point it almost slipped to side of the mic capsule contact rod. Not a big deal but its a workmanship issue.

Nice to have the right Mic for the job...
So many times I tried to use a Shot Gun for an inside shoot and got some really strange results! Looking back I remember that these spaces were very confined area. What works is a nice little Small-Diaphragm Conducer mic with a super cardio capsule. This kit comes with three capsules so your ready for almost anything.

Amazing Value
I needed a backup small diaphragm to throw in my field audio kit so this seemed like a good deal. The first day I got them I set up an A-B with a Schoeps CMC641 and recorded a cello. Although the Schoeps definitely had more body and is the better microphone; for 1/25th of the price it's an amazing value.

Terrific for the money
Nice little mic for the money. Haven't had time to really test all the capsules, but the standard capsule has a real nice coverage and balanced sound. This mic fills niche at a nice price point. Good for vocals and instruments - good build and accessories include (shock mount and foam cover)

So versitile!
This microphone is a perfect addition to my arsenal. Whether on a boom, on camera, or used as random ambient pickup, the added capsules insure you have the mic pattern to capture anything you need. It has the clarity you're used to with Senal and a price that you can't ignore. Get one!

Good vocal mic. for stage use.
These little mics are the perfect choice for singers. They have that nice high rise in the highs that club singers like. They are very light, and very sensitive. Good for recording cymbals and bright drums for jazz. Very nice mic. I like it

good sound monitoring
I use these when longer shotguns are inconvenient or when I need the omni directional feature, They are excellent for voice. I do not use them for musical instrument recording. I would recommend these.

I Love this company
Great mic not just for the price but the quality. I have many Senal Microphones and I really like them all. The different Poler patterns work well and will work for almost anything.

Great mike for the price.
Out of the box tests are good with this microphone so far. Much better than I had expected. 3 capsules, wind screen and shockmount for the price you can't go wrong.

Great Sound!
I have done an A/B comparison with all of the Mics I own. This mic sounds great. I will use it on Hi Hats, Percussions, maybe even Accoustic Guitar. I Like It!

Very good for the money
Nice crisp sound - good all-around mic for voice and instruments. I like the basic Hypercardioid spread the best - forgiving with subject moving

A Great Value
3 Capsules, versatile, and surprisingly good audio. -- And with a little noise removal for quieter recordings, perfectly acceptable.

Didn't have to break the bank for a good decent condenser mic, sounds great in recording and on stream.
