Advantages
One benefit of using the Neewer NW-700 Professional Condenser Microphone is having a high-quality output – the condenser microphone gives rise to full-bodied and rich audio output with the help of the device’s new audio circuit.
The cardioid pick-up pattern of the condenser microphone also helps in isolating the main source of the sound and minimizing unwanted background noise to pave way for clear recording. In any microphone brands, the sound quality is a primordial consideration and this particular condenser microphone covers such aspect just fine.
In addition, the condenser microphone also comes with a durable and an adjustable scissor arm stand. The sturdy and durable quality of the stand is backed up by the mount’s complete steel construction and double braced arms. And because the condenser microphone stand can be folded, it makes carrying the product as well as the stand around easy and convenient.
The condenser microphone is also known for its versatile character as the device can also be mounted on the announcers’ table.
The excellent voice quality that the condenser microphone produces is also due to the fact that the product has a shield in the form of a windscreen pop filter mask. Not only does the filter help in ensuring that each and every track is easy to understand as well as audible, but the filter also helps in giving a clear and loud audio output by getting rid of the unwanted lisping and hissing sounds that normally come with an audio recording.
Another nice component of the condenser microphone is the metal shock mount that accompanies it. The said mount allows easy adjustment of the angle of the condenser microphone and keeps the position in place with its locking knob. The shock mount is helpful in addressing the possible noise created while holding the condenser microphone.
Furthermore, the condenser microphone has an anti-wind and ball-type foam cap. This particular feature hits two birds with one stone as the condenser microphone is not only protected from any wind interference that affects the quality of the recording but it is also protected from the negative effects of projectile saliva coming from the users.
To complete the package, it is good to note that the condenser microphone can be purchased at a fairly affordable and reasonable price. Having a good condenser microphone is one thing, but getting it at a cost that does not bleed the pockets is always a wanted bonus.
Disadvantages
The Neewer NW-700 Professional Condenser Microphone may have its advantages but it also has some downsides to it. Some may be considered as minor issues but some may also be considered as deal breakers for others. First of all, this condenser microphone does not work with Mac.
Neither does the condenser microphone work a tablet computer nor a mobile phone. These incompatibilities with certain devices limit the versatility of the condenser microphone itself and using the product can be a tad bit difficult for others who need to access the microphone with the mentioned devices.
Moreover, it should also be noted that the condenser microphone does not come with some essential components that will help create a high-quality audio output. The purchase of the condenser microphone does not include the purchase of a sound card, a ¼ into XLR Cable, an XLR to XLR cable and a 48V phantom power.
Having to purchase the mentioned components separately from the condenser microphone will add up to the original purchase price of the product. The additional cost could be a major drawback in buying the condenser microphone, especially for those who have limited and tight budget for the purchase.
Verdict
The Neewer NW-700 Professional Condenser Microphone proves that having a professional condenser microphone need not be at the expense of having to spend too much. This is a condenser microphone that can be recommended to others without having to end up being disappointed or embarrassed by the recommendation.
