After a week, I sold my NT1-A

By: Donald MacGregor on 13 October 2017
I got this mic on an eBay punt from Swamp at the same time as some iSK headphones which I'll review elsewhere. At the time of purchase I also owned and was recording with a Rode NT-1a. After a few sessions with the iSK BM-700, I sold the Rode for more than double what I paid for the iSK mic and headphones combined. Reasons? The iSK sounded richer without seeming sloppy or mushy and didn't have that top-end screech that the Rode could exhibit when pushed. It also didn't sound nasal. The iSK has heaps more gain than the Rode too and a pad on the mic would have been helpful but (I hate this phrase) 'for the money' I wasn't about to complain. If I had the cash, I'd probably buy every mic in the iSK line-up just to see if the rest of them represent the outstanding quality and value that this BM-700 represents. I don't know how long it's likely to last and could fall over next week but the build seems solid. If it does show reliability issues, I'll update this review later. Five stars because, yes, I'm happy, yes I'd buy it again and yes, yes, yes, it's excellent quality sound makes the BM-700 a steal.

Good, Better, Best!

65 years in the recording and broadcasting industry makes you rather knowledgeable in regards to technology. I am crazy about good microphones as they are the first step into all recordings. I love Neumann, Sennheiser, and the legendary (genuine and original) Telefunken M47 microphones. Nobody can afford such microphones and there is no need for it either. Tom from Swamp Industries offers this excellent microphone that maybe one day a classic, and for a fraction of the price of the before named brands. The service and product knowledge at Swamp Industries is second to none. I am a customer longer then a decade and believe you me, I am not an easy customer. However, I prefer to go back to Tom and his crew as they have proven to be great. Thank you, Swamp Industries. Greetings G.Y. Land, AIAA, radioandmedia.net

I was a bit sceptical about buying this with the cheap price tag and lack of knowledge of the brand name but this is a great mic. Clear warm sound that's great for vocals and better than my last mic that was 3 times the price.

Thank you for the excellent service and the great product iSK BM-700 Condenser Microphone. I was a little worried as to the low price. Now, since I have tried it I am positively surprised. This microphone can compete with microphones costing ten times as much. I am a satisfied customer and will come back to you for more reasonable priced products. Well done, beat the 'big ones' in the business.

I can't believe how good this microphone is...seriously! I bought it on spec and price and I have not been disappointed in any way. Apart from it's seriously good looks (if you like gold bling, that is) it has an incredibly rich, warm sound. I've used it for vocals, acoustic guitar and as a drum overhead and room mic. I've yet to try it as a second guitar amp mic, but I reckon it will shine through this as well. The first time I used it (and heard it) I had it set up as a room mic to record some drums, and as I was speaking into it to test it I was staggered by how good I sounded! For the price it can't be beaten. It's actually my preferred condenser in my studio. Have a listen to my grab on the Swamp webpage. I've been an iSK fan from this time on. Cheers, Mike.
