Today I review the Shure SM48-LC, a budget version of the SM58 that comes in under $40. The "LC" in the name means "Less Cable", so it doesn't come with an XLR cable. This is an XLR microphone with a roll off of bass frequencies below 200Hz, and a large presence and treble boost, and a roll off of the majority of air frequencies. For the price, it’s a great entry level or budget vocal microphone.

Today I review a budget lav mic, the Speedlink SL-8691-SBK-01Spes Clip-on Microphone. The build quality is nice, but the sound quality is only usable on tablets and portable recorders. I would recommend a neewer lav mic over this any day. 00:00 - Intro / Setup / Disclaimers 00:38 - What’s in the Box? 00:55 - Build Quality 01:17 - Specifications 01:31 - Polar Pattern & Background Noise Test 01:48 - Neewer Lav Mic Comparison 02:03 - Windows 10 Motherboard Test 02:15 - Camera Mic Input Test 02:32 - Portable Recorder Test (Zoom H1) 02:45 - Tablet Test (iPad) 03:07 - Conclusion / Outro Buy the Speedlink Spes Clipon Microphone Global: https://geni.us/speedlink Buy the Neewer Lav Mic US: http://amzn.to/2qHpN6l UK: http://amzn.to/2qHmQ5y CA: http://amzn.to/2qGFjLv Buy the Zoom H1 US: http://amzn.to/2rKRNpV UK: http://amzn.to/2skxTij CA: http://amzn.to/2sktagT Buy a TRRS Splitter US: http://amzn.to/2qGr8X7 UK: http://amzn.to/2rwwjvM CA: http://amzn.to/2qGMPpI My YouTube Kit: https://podcastage.com/studio My Favorite XLR Mics: https://podcastage.com/rev/favxlr My Favorite USB Mics: https://podcastage.com/rev/favusb NOTE (FULL DISCLOSURE): If you purchase an item using my amazon link, it provides me a small referral fee.
