That’s why you can use either of the microphones without phantom power. The manufacturer’s specifications say that it sounds better with phantom power, which tells you that you don’t actually need it.

The scissor arm you can live without if you’ve got a microphone stand already, but it’s really important to use a pop filter with this mic since it’s so sensitive in the upper reaches of the frequency spectrum. Accessories: Bottom Line So many people that have used the Neewer NW-700 microphone gave an excellent review about it. This review was written not based on sales but the microphone’s performance, features, functions, build quality, and customer review.In any microphone brands, the sound quality is a primordial consideration and this particular condenser microphone covers such aspect just fine. Its wind foam cap will be very effective only when this microphone is used outdoors. Considering all of these features, you have no option but to settle for the Neewer NW-700 microphone when you look at another microphone with lesser features. If we assume, though, that these are correct and relevant to the mic type, then I’d say that the NW 800 offers a preferred polar pattern given that it more closely resembles a typical cardioid shape. Delivering optimal performance is what this microphone is designed to achieve, but it requires the help of a phantom power adapter to power it up during use. Only those who want this microphone for online streaming, podcasting, and the likes will require powering up this microphone with a phantom power adapter. But plugging it directly into a mixing desk is ideal for people who need this microphone for singing.

In fact, the NW 800’s high-frequency peaks reach higher than that of the 700, so it’s going to be even more bright and airy than its little brother. However, the microphone is a great option for people who intend to shop on a budget but want a microphone they can rely on. To be frank, neither of these frequency response graphs looks particularly smooth, natural, or open.

If you are considering adding the Neewer NW-700 microphone to your microphone collection, we suggest reading up our Neewer NW-700 review, so you can have the basic information about this microphone before spending your cash on it. All in all…this microphone gets an A from me for beginners and if you are looking for something cheap and budget friendly The plug to XLR cable is a bit too tight. This makes it very difficult to easily connect and disconnect the cable It weighs just 11oz, which is pretty light, and speaks to both the size of the mic and the fact that it’s using an electret condenser capsule. Size & weight: Neewer NW 800 Neither does the condenser microphone work a tablet computer nor a mobile phone. These incompatibilities with certain devices limit the versatility of the condenser microphone itself and using the product can be a tad bit difficult for others who need to access the microphone with the mentioned devices.

The phantom power adapter and direct plugging option help boost the audio quality of this microphone. In contrast, a cheap pop shield helps prevent plosives from interfering with your audio quality when singing or talking. Furthermore, the condenser microphone has an anti-wind and ball-type foam cap. This particular feature hits two birds with one stone as the condenser microphone is not only protected from any wind interference that affects the quality of the recording but it is also protected from the negative effects of projectile saliva coming from the users. Without any doubt, the Neewer NW-700 is the best for its price range, and we are very confident when we say this microphone will meet any of your entry-level or professional needs. Therefore, we encourage our readers to go ahead and add this microphone to their list of work accessories and equipment. Actually, it’s an electret condenser, which is basically a cheap and easily manufacturable version of the condenser capsule, not all that different from what you’d find in your iPhone or in a cheap karaoke mic. Speaking from experience with more cost-effective equipment, though, it’s probably reasonable to expect that the accessories the NW 700 comes with (more on those very soon), aren’t going to last forever. Build quality: Neewer NW 800

But not just any condenser microphone but one that actually records awesome vocals and delivers exceptional quality The bottom line, though, is that neither the NW 700 nor NW 800 is going to embody audio quality that is significantly better than the mic in your phone or Bluetooth headset. The NW 800 is kind of in the same boat with regard to polar patterns, except that on paper, this is called a hypercardioid shape. In addition, the condenser microphone also comes with a durable and an adjustable scissor arm stand. When shopping for microphones, so many people have different expectations or their own idea of how a microphone should function. The versatility of this microphone is another reason why you shouldn’t miss out on it.

For those working in a niche that requires them to sit at a desk while using this microphone, there is a need for an adjustable arm boom if you want to get the best out of the Neewer NW-700 microphone.I say this because they give no indication as to what distance or frequency the response was measured at, as is typical for microphone polar pattern graphs.
