Takstar SGC-598 Shotgun Mic Review
Rating: 4/5
Pros:
- Warm, clear voice
- Low background hiss
- Good battery life
Cons:
- Quiet, even in +10db mode
- Best for close range
- Shock mount is far too stiff
Summary: While taking into consideration that the Takstar is by no means a professional mic, the audio from it is quite surprising, with a good amount of warmth and a low hiss. However, don’t expect miracles from it- because it is quiet, the mic works best in close range. I would suggest using it for vlogging, close-up interviews or voice recording on a computer.
