Concluding Remarks
M-Audio is committed to developing studio microphones for those who demand the most accurate and true
sound. We believe a well-designed mic should be clear and detailed, and should yield recordings that require
little or no post processing in order to sound “correct”—which makes your job easier and more enjoyable.
We encourage you to compare the Sputnik with any other mics on the market, and we trust you’ll agree it’s
a microphone par excellence.
