REAL RATINGS
After testing each microphone, I like to know if it sounds realistic (accurate lows/bass, mids, highs/treble) in combination with the recorder and/or AUX. amplifier, to see if it needs EQ.

NOTES:
I'm just starting to test this mic/recorder combo, but so far there is faint RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) but it is a LOT less than the JK MIC-J 017 I recently tested...Aside from the slight RFI, this mic sounds really good, natural and "REAL" (with the Comica FURRY windscreen). It's amazing how each microphone/audio recorder combination renders a different total sound, and it's super satisfying to find a combination like this one that sounds natural.
BACKGROUND NOISE ISOLATION:
This mic sounds good both INDOORS and OUTDOORS and seems to provide a realistic balance of foreground and background audio (which is what I like versus removing the background noise completely). It does a really good job of minimizing the background noise AND reducing the reverb in an INDOOR environment (there is some background audio, but the reverb doesn't sound super reflective, distorted or amplified)!!!
WIND PROTECTION NOTE:
Due to the fact that this is sounding natural with the FURRY windscreen (from Comica) I would say to go with that windscreen (both indoors and outdoors) because it can be difficult to find wind protection that allows the mic to sound natural (without EQ)...but I'm still testing this.
Remember to always monitor your audio while you're recording (using accurate headphones) because good settings can't fix bad audio. Also, these settings will not establish the exact level you'll need for every scene, but the goal is to provide a good starting point that will become clean, after adjusting in post. Additionally, these "custom settings" are used to make the Microphone-Specific EQ files work (as they won't work as intended if any of they aren't used). The EQ files were created to correct any imperfections of the microphone and/or wind protection (FOAM and/or FURRY) and were made in Audacity (the free audio editor) to make them as affordable & universal as possible.
