Appearance & Details:
The MSI Boomerse GV60 condenser microphone uses the common "Y" type desktop bracket placement, the fuselage is fixed by screws and brackets on both sides, and the rounded body shape has a slight retro taste inside. Most of the fuselage is black, the top is a metal protective mesh, the overall color matching style is calm and low-key, and it is more suitable for various peripheral products or desktop layouts, and it is not too large for space. The body made of aluminum alloy adopts a fine frosting process, which is delicate and cool to the touch, and fingerprints and oil stains are not easy to remain on the surface of the fuselage, which is also very convenient to take care of. The metal material body is very finely made, which also brings better texture performance.
Three knobs and a button are provided on the front of the fuselage for pickup mode, monitor headphone volume adjustment, microphone volume adjustment, and mute. A status indicator is provided at the top, and the corresponding microphone working mode will always be blue/red for easy identification. The front and back of the fuselage have added a dark brand logo logo, which further increases the brand recognition of the microphone. The four pickup modes are stereo, omnidirectional/omnidirectional, cardioid, and two-way, covering different scenes such as vocal recording, conference, live broadcasting, and interviews, so that users can quickly adjust according to different usage scenarios and obtain better pickup performance.
The top of the microphone features a fine metal mesh structure to protect the internal pickup structure. The inner layer is a black spray shield to avoid noise caused by airflow during close-up pickup, providing a clearer and more stable pickup effect. The fuselage has built-in multiple condenser pickups, allowing users to get better pickup performance in different scenarios such as live broadcasts, performances, interviews, and conferences.
The bottom of the fuselage provides a 3.5mm jack, USB Type-C interface and 5/8 screw interface. The 3.5mm jack provides real-time playback without delay, the USB Type-C interface can power the microphone and provide data transmission, and the 5/8 screw interface makes it easy to mount the microphone on the cantilever bracket. The 3-meter-long USB Type-C data cable can also easily adapt to the layout of the desktop or rotary arm bracket, and the user can also replace other types of compatible cables according to personal preferences, making the desktop or bracket wiring more neat and beautiful.
The manufacturer also gives away the sponge anti-spray sleeve of the microphone, which can also meet the requirements of some users for higher recording effects, and avoid the impact of noise and wind noise on sound quality.
With the metal knobs on both sides of the "Y" shaped stand, the user can easily adjust the microphone usage angle. Both knobs are treated with a large area of transverse anti-slip patterns, which are still very easy to turn. Once the two screws are completely unscrewed, the microphone can be separated from the stand, allowing the user to adjust the microphone placement. A large rubber non-slip pad is used at the bottom of the bracket to ensure the stability of the microphone placement, and with the weight of the metal base, the wire will not easily tip over when pulled. Rubber foot pads have also been added on both sides of the bracket to avoid scratching and scratching the microphone body during the disassembly process. Two nut covers are given away in the accessory, and after removing the main body of the microphone, the whole is more complete and beautiful.
Usage test:
The MSI Boomerse GV60 condenser microphone is designed to be driver-free and can be used directly with compatible devices, which is very convenient. The built-in pickup head supports high-resolution audio with up to 24-bit resolution and a sample rate of 96Hz, and the response frequency of 20 to 20000Hz and audio sensitivity of -36dB can easily capture every sound detail. With four pickup modes, whether it is live broadcast, conference, vocal singing, instrument playing and other scenes, you can get a clear and pure collection effect, better restore the real sound during recording, the performance is still quite bad.
In actual use, MSI's MMWARE GV60 condenser microphone has high pickup clarity and sensitivity performance, and the placement distance can be maintained at about 40 to 60 cm to obtain a good recording effect. The recording audio details are in place, the vocals are clear and clean, and there is not much sound dyeing or electronic taste. The built-in anti-spray mesh filters out some small pops and provides better listening. The top knob is clear and unambiguous, the volume adjustment knob is moderately damped, the rotation is smooth, and the hand feedback is very good. The mute button also allows users to quickly close the microphone without recording, and the convenience is still very high. However, this microphone still inevitably records some ambient noise at maximum volume, which can be solved by lowering the recording volume or wearing a sponge anti-spray sleeve.
