Marantz Pod Pack 1 and Audition 2017

[kevinh7654]

Installed new Marantz Pod Pack 1 and followed on-screen set-up prompts.  Audition recognized the mic and was able to record without issue our of the gate so to speak.  Playback however was not the desired result as it sounded hollow and without depth if that makes sense.  Struggling to believe it's a mic quality issue as there are many positive reviews online pertaining to the Pod Pack.  I'm going to guess I'm missing something in the settings or such.  Any coaching here would be appreciated.  Thank you in advance for taking a moment to share your expertise.

I see that the Marantz Pod Pack is just a USB mic which seems to utilise the PCs internal preamp - that is certainly never anything to write home about.

As I understand it you can purchase said pack for about $47 and I'm guessing you have probably got your money's worth.

Audition just faithfully records whatever is presented to it and plays it back without any alteration (unless fx, etc are applied)

You probably need to give a bit more detail as to how, where and what you recorded and under/in what environment the recording was made.  An example of the audio posted somewhere would probably help as well.
