How noticeable is the high-end (~5-20kHz) peak and how flat would this mic's response sound next to the V67G?

I use mine for vocal...I was so delighted with them I now have 5.. for the money I was well pleased

Very good question. I don't believe it's that noticible with or without if you have a really good quality mic. However I have the 200 dollar blue yeti so I can say it does improve overall quality

This is a good mic,no doubt, but I would go for a E935 or a Shure Beta 58 for extra high end.

I have heard worse mics in regards to their directional pick-up pattern, but I have definitely heard much better. The audio quality also leaves something to be desired. It seems that this can fluctuate dramatically within this exact microphone system. These microphones are made by a couple different manufacturers and some the results are not very good. I would personally spend a bit more and get a microphone system that will consistently provide good audio. I really like the sennheiser ME64 with the K6 power module. It will cost a bit more, but I recently picked up a couple of these used on Ebay for $200 each (that was for one microphone capsule and the power supply capsule). These usually retail for over $400 for the mic and capsule. The pick-up pattern is great and the audio is crisp. I know that this is much more than the price for the Audio-Technica microphone system, but it will be worth the difference in cost. I bought Audio-Technica microphone, tried it for a day, and got very lousy results. There was a consistent buzz and the audio would cut out from time to time. Even when I was able to capture something "usable" the quality was cringe-worthy. I know that someone shouldn't expect pro quality audio at this price, but some of the reviews I read led me to believing that this was just a great bargain for a middle of the road microphone. Spend a little bit more and you will be much happier with you results.

I used an AKG c1000S placed about 5 inches away from the cone near the bridge. Play around with the mic placement as you may find a psoition tha tyou like more.

It is really nice sounding. This is a PROFESSIONAL mic, so you can expect good things from it. But just to warn you, it doesn't come with the cords for the Mic, so you need to buy them separately. If you want to hear an example, here is my Soundcloud, so you can here the music I recorded with it.soundcloud.com/cashcheck

I've owned both and used them with several microphones, including the V01A and a higher end Neumann. In every case, I've preferred the MicPort Pro. The sound is cleaner and warmer, there's almost no hiss, and the thing's durable. I've had my MicPort for several years and still use it as a back up when I travel. I donated the Micmate to a high school drama program. The cord's short on the MicPort Pro and the Phantom Power button is tiny. Still, those are minor complaints. I would, however, invest in a longer cable if you're trying to keep your computer (and computer noise) away from the microphone.

The mic you mention is not as beefy as an AT2020, which is what I use. I have it with a in-line amp, pop filter and spider cage. The stand holds all that at full extension just fine. I do not foresee you having any issues.

I haven't noticed an issue. I haven't used it with a mic that much, but the couple of times I have for basic voice overs, I had plenty of gain. It's USB powered, so there probably is something to the complaint of weaker gain in comparison with a standard interface or mixer, but again... I had plenty.

Yes. I am a YouTuber and use this and it sounds crystal clear. I also use this on a desktop, like you mentioned

With a good mic easy. I have a cheap mic and it sounds like crap. I bought a set of Shure PGXD24/Beta58A Digital Wireless System with Beta 58A Mic and it sounds GREAT!

You should get a pop filter for any mic you get. It will make your recordings sound much better ( if you're using it for voice recording).

My friends seem to have no problem with my mic. If you'd heard some of their headset mics you'd probably be quite satisfied with it too. For example, the Alienware headset doesn't have any noise cancellation and picks up a great amount of background noise, and the Razer Kraken Pro has great sound quality but a poor quality mic. Those 2 are the main ones everyone i've seen is buying, I have seen a great many other mics and this one so far beats them all. =) In my opinion, if you have the black shark's mic the correct distance away from your mouth, its sound quality is unbeatable next to a singing mic or something...

I would not rely on this mic for a high quality recording, or even a decent recording. Especially not for micing amplifiers or acoustic instruments. Get a cheap MXL condenser mic.

This is the XLR version (as Matthew pointed out, the USB version says it in the title). I haven't had any problems of hissing or background noise with this mic, the internal noise of the mic is actually superb. In Matthew's case, maybe it could be a defective mic (that should be exchanged under warranty), or a poor quality or damaged pre-amp, which is often the case.

I don't use devices which allow my making that comparison, however just listening, I'm satisfied. The frequency response seems flat with no noticeable distortion. I don't feel I'm compromising sound for convenience.
