Gamezoom purchase recommendation

As a (hobby) YouTuber, I very quickly "fell in love" with the new ASUS ROG Carnyx.

Silver Award

... the Asus ROG Carnyx is a microphone with very good recording results and a very good power output when it comes to amplification. On top of that, it has a smart design (with two colours to choose from) and a very appreciable shock-mount system, something we're seeing less and less on new products, so it's worth applauding.
