The first thing I can say that I appreciate about the VO 1-A is its appearance. It's beautifully crafted. Second, I've got to sing the praises of it's ability to pick up and reproduce sound. If you're looking for a microphone that only picks up what is directly in front of you and not what's behind the microphone, this is not for you. The VO 1-A picks up anything in all directions and is very sensitive. The first night I used it, I set it up in the dining room and put on my headphones to take a listen. The windows in the house were open and I could hear the neighbor boy down the street, practicing his trumpet. With the VO-1A, you can place yourself as close to the mic or as far away as you like and it really pics up well. In my case, I seem to like setting up around 5 8 inches away, depending on the need. I do voice over work and this mic really produces a very crisp sound, while picking an amazing bass reproduction as well. The entire sound wave spectrum sounds spectacular.

I've recently completed my first professional Voice Over demo. The studio did a fantastic job (and I didn't do too bad myself). On the down side, I had nothing at home to remotely approximate the quality of that studio production. I read numerous reviews on mics in my price range and was leaning toward the Rode NTS-1A. I'm sure I would have been happy with that choice as well. The VO:1-A had the endorsement of a trusted name in VO going for it, with a solid guarantee and the Micport Pro USB preamp to boot. I've also added a pair of Rokit 6 monitors to my home studio. Consequently the sound I'm producing at home is amazingly close to my demo, minus the background music and special effects. My next move is to purchase good sound editing software and build a small sound booth. This purchase was not only perfect for me but perfectly affordable. The Micport Pro does an excellent job for it's size and the only caution I would offer is that it does have a tendency to get quite warm. So I try not to use it for too long at any one session. This may very well be normal but it bugs me. Later on I plan on stepping up to the M-Audio Fast Track Ultra for expanded capabilities. I hope that doesn't come across as too negative because the truth is I couldn't be happier.Buy VO: 1-A Microphone and MicPort Pro USB Preamp Combo - Save Compared to Combined List Prices Now
I purchased this microphone after trying several others and it works like a charm. It is crystal clear and picks up the entire spectrum of my voice. The base pickup is especially outstanding! My voice may not be as deep as the late Don LaFontaine, but with this microphone it would be hard to tell my voice and his apart. The USB interface works right out of the box, and has allowed me to record quality work right onto my PC. This microphone combo is worth every penny.I thought this was a great quality mic. This is my first mic and it handles like a dream. It competes very well with other industry standard mics. You can go to their website and see the difference. I have personally thought after using it, that it did a great job for the price that I paid for it. It records great "studio quality" sounds. Couldn't have made a better choice for my first mic set, considering the little USB adapter piece is like $150 on it's own you're getting a great deal.This microphone has made a huge difference in the quality of my voiceover work. I recommend it to anyone who is involved in this kind of activity.
