I wanted to do a quick comparison between a Large Diaphragm Condenser and a Small Diaphragm Condenser to show the difference in sound because I think it's quite drastic and illustrates why SDC's are so popular on acoustic instruments. What do you think? I hear the LDC being fuller and more powerful sounding, while the SDC sounds more natural, articulate, and realistic. On acoustic guitar I'd be reaching for the SDC most of the times.

Today I review a new microphone the from Beyerdynamic, the M90 Pro X. This mic has a crazy low self noise of only 5.6dBa, it offers a controlled lowend, an even low mid section, and a punch upper mid section with plenty of articulation and detail in the treble and air. It comes with a pretty effective pop filter, and a shock mount that is alright but lets in a bit of rumble.

Today I review the MXL BCD-1, a broadcast dynamic mic that is fairly cheap when compared to it's competitors. Unfortunately, I think this microphone misses the mark and offers lackluster performance.
