The microphone spec. was ideal for my remote group jam sessions on Skype and Zoom. The microphone on my laptop just couldn't cope with the music side of things. The SC 425 comes in a hard case with pre-formed foam padding, so great for safe transporting. It takes just a few minutes to put together, the 2m cable plugs into the computer and requires no driver installation. It's so simple. Ordering was very straight forward, and it was shipped within a day. Text messages kept me informed of the delivery progress, as has happened with all Thomann products that I have ordered in the past. Very efficient and friendly staff. Thanks for the great service.
