Today I review the Shure Beta 57a, a supercardioid version of the classic SM57. The main difference between this and the 57 is the polar pattern, and will do a better job at background noise rejection. There are also tonal differences, with a slightly more aggressive low cut, and less boosted treble and air frequencies. If you want the classic 57 sound with minor tonal differences and better noise rejection, this is an essential mic.

Today I review a new USB mic from Austrian Audio; the MiCreator. This is a USB mic that also expands to allow you to add an additional input (instrument, second mic capusle, or lav mic kit). The sound is fairly balanced with a controlled low end a slightly more midfocused sound due to no significant cuts, and then a relatively smooth upper frequency range.

Today I review one of the most popular headphones among youtubers; the Audio-Technica ATH-M50x. After the rave surrounding these things, I was expecting them to be the best headphones I had ever used, or be some kind of world changing experience. After 2 weeks of using these headphones, I honestly just don’t understand the hype.

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 we’re looking at the AKG P420, a multipattern XLR condenser microphone. This mic has a subtle presence and treble boost and minor boost below 100Hz. I think this mic may only really work well for music if you like the tone of it.
