Today I share my thoughts on diminishing returns and microphones, where the threshold his for dynamic mics and condenser mics, and what you might be getting for the higher price point.

Does an $800 Made in the USA preamp perform well? It has 70dB of gain, a variable high pass filter, a noise floor comparable to interfaces that have an EIN of ~ -127dBA, and it's built like a tank. It performs very well, but is it worth it for the price?

Today I review the El Gato Wave 3 USB Condenser Microphone. This mic also includes a digital mixer allowing you to capture 5 additional sound sources and mix them for your stream. The sound is balanced, although a little lacking in the low end below 100Hz. I compare it to the Blue Snowball, Rode NT USB Mini, Blue Yeti, Hyper X Quadcast, Razer Seiren X, SM7b and More.

Today I review the Electro Voice RE27 N/D. Out of the box this microphone sounds pretty bad, but once you switch on the high cut, you can get some pretty stelar voice over tones. It does a great job at off axis and rear rejection as well, but the off axis coloration is also pretty rough. Even with these cons, I rather like the tone of the mic when spoken into with proper microphone technique, and I think it would be a good microphone for podcasts or radio broadcasts.
