Today I review a microphone that claims to offer a similar sound to the classic Neumann U47 / Telefunken U47 but for only $250. Unfortunately, I don’t have a U47 to compare it to so I can’t address those claims. However, as a stand alone mic it offers a relatively smooth mid forward tone, with a tame rolled off air frequency range. In some instances it does tend to get a bit over powered below 200Hz, so some reductive EQ may be required. I also compare it to the Neewer NW7000, Audo Technical’s AT2020, Rode NT1, Tech Zone Audio Products Stellar X2, Neumann TLM102, Neumann TLM103, and Neumann U87Ai.

Today I share my thoughts on the best podcast mics for intermediate podcasters and professional podcasters ranging from $100 up to $3600. This is all purely subjective and based on my opinions. I would love to hear what you think the best mics are for podcasting for intermediate podcasters and professional podcasters.

Today we look at the mic that Markiplier uses, the Shure KSM44a which offers a very unoffensive sound with killer specs to back it up. Only a 4dBa self noise, 150dB max SPL, and amazing off axis coloration.

Today I review another budget cardioid dynamic karaoke mic that is under $25; the Anykey ANK-78. This microphone is built really well, and does a respectable job at rear rejection and handling noise rejection, but it suffers from plosives, and poor wiring.

Today I walkthrough, explain, and review the new Audient Evo 4, a new entry level audio interface that has a feature that will make it so you never distort your audio again. This feature is called Smart Gain, and it will automatically set your gain based on a quick sample of what you’re recording. It has a very respectable headphone amp that can easily drive the Sennheiser HD650’s, low noise preamps, and an incredible Hi-Z instrument input. All around it’s a stellar beginner option.

Today I review the sE Electronics X1, not the X1S or X1A. This is a broad presence boosted microphone ranging from 2.5 to 15kHz, and is discontinued. I think this mic is a bit too bright, but if that’s what you’re looking for, more power to you.
