I use the Shure X2U to create personal audio recordings with a condenser microphone. The qualities I admire about this product include its portability, quality of build and ease of use. In particular, this product is supported by plug-and-play for Windows and Linux. Areas where this product can be improved include the reduction of noise captured and visual indicators for each of the adjustment wheels.
