The MPM-1000 is perfect for podcasting applications or capturing high-quality audio from vocalists, melodic instruments, percussion, drum kits and more.
At the heart of the MPM-1000 is a 18mm pure-aluminum-plated condenser capsule with a directional cardioid polar pattern. The result? A wide-ranging frequency response (20 – 20,000Hz), high sensitivity (-38dB ± 2dB (0dB = 1V/Pa @ 1kHz)) and a fast-transient response that combine for premium capture and faithful recreation of every subtle nuance of a sung or narrated vocal part – all with minimal interference from unwanted ambient noise.
With the MPM-1000, complicated setups are a thing of the past. Thanks to an included windscreen, a purpose-designed shock-mount for mounting to a traditional mic-stand, a tripod stand, and even an XLR cable, all the core tools for seamless connectivity are thoughtfully included for instant recording and creative potential. When combined with low self-noise (17dBA) and signal-to-noise ratio (77dB) specifications, pristine audio capture is guaranteed every time.

Great buy for beginners
Marantz is, for all intensive purposes, a professional audio company. Please understand that this microphone is solely meant for entry level consumption.That being said, this microphone is great in a lot of ways, and doesn’t really fall short anywhere for the price. The build is all aluminum, which will provide solid and rigid integrity. This microphone is a condenser microphone, and will require an audio interface with 48v phantom power in order to operate. From what I can tell, the advertised specs are spot on. It has crystal clear audio in the mid ranges, and a good range of frequency. Low/bass sounds are a little dry, and higher frequencies like those from a flute are also a bit empty sounding, but not to a degree where they distort or lose their identity.The microphone has a good weight to it, and all the added periferals are of good quality. They all feel well constructed and work as one would expect. While the mic has a good hefty feeling, it is a bit lighter than higher prices microphones.The best use case for this microphone would definitely be for voice. This would be great for podcasts, light midrange vocals, and in my case, narration and reporting. It would also be the best mic for gaming or streaming for the price.It is a solid entry level product and I look forward to personally testing their higher quality products as my career grows.TL;DR – would I recommend it? Yes, yes I would.

Sound quality is remarkable.
I tested it with FocusRite Scarlett 2i2. I plugged it into the XLR input, and then turned 48V Phantom Power button on, which is required for the condenser microphone to work.The silence is pure, when you don’t talk or sing or breathe into the mic.The sound quality is remarkable. It makes your own voice sound so clear and detailed, that it builds your confidence while singing. I was directly monitoring the recording on the headphones plugged into the Audio Interface = Scarlett 2i2, so there is zero latency, which is a must for the performer to have feedback of his/her voice without any delay..The microphone doesn’t pick up the street noises or even the rain just 1 meter behind me. The ceiling fan doesn’t cause any noise or interference either. The laptop electronic components also have no interference on the recorded sound. I used the included XLR cable, and I don’t even think you need to buy a better XLR cable.The mini tripod is not the best, but it can hold the microphone on the table once you balance it with the leg running next to the cable (consider buying a desk mountable arm straight away).The included wind foam cover also works very well, it eliminated any wind noise, and also reduced the breathing in sound (you need to move your head away from the mic when you take a breathe during performance).I am extremely satisfied with the quality of this reasonably priced microphone. It is not exaggerated to use the word PRO in its name.

Marantz still means quality.
I couldn’t believe that anything could be wrong with a Marantz microphone, and I am still not. There is nothing wrong with this one. I do NOT like the way Amazon does some of this review thing. I rated it excellent for gaming although I do not game because I cannot imagine why it would not be good for that purpose unless it would be because of it’s size or basic configuration. It is the same thing for rating it for beginners. If you are a complete beginner to the use of this type of microphone or devoid of any technical ability it could be a challenge. Otherwise, it is perfectly simple to se and has outstanding quality for my use as a recording mic. Microphone use is a complicated and thoroughly technical issue and thus mic is a great one. This is especially so due to it’s reasonable price.

Great quality for the price.
I highly encourage anyone looking for a mic less than $200 with the ability to record from XLR to purchase the MPM-1000.Great, amazing, awesome. Only some of the adjectives that begin to describe the quality of this mic. To date this is the best mic I have worked within and outside its price range. Only thing that starts beating them are true professional quality mics, typically hand-made or expensive. I purchased two after looking at the reviews for my wife’s podcast she has started. I was blown away by the quality. We spent over an hour having a conversation through these mics through headphone monitors and were vastly surprised at the clarity of our voices. It required little EQ and compression in post-production to have a professional broadcast sound.I will say the shock mounts and desktop stands are terrible. Do not expect anything from either. But, those are easily replaced. I recommend replacing them as soon as you can afford it so this mic can shine.
