Comments about MXL Studio 1 Red Dot USB Recording Microphone Kit:
I would have given this a higher rating if it wasn't for the fact that the latency on the built-in headphone jack is horrible when used on a PC with SoundForge. Audio recording quality is good but forget about using the headphone jack.
I bought this to use with an IPad due to the low power requirements.
