Today I review the Beyerdynamic M88 TG. This mic sounds great for singing and spoken word, with a tamer and broader boost in the top end yielding a smoother sound. However, this microphone does not do a good job at rejecting plosives or handling noise, so you will need to make adjustments to account for that.

Today I review the Blue Bluebird SL. This is a unique and crunchy sounding microphone. I do not think it works well for voice over, but if you’re trying to add a bit of edge or aggressiveness to your vocal take or acoustic guitar take, this microphone will do a great job there.

Today I review the Auna Mic 900B, a budget USB Condenser Mic. This thing is a VERY bright microphone, and it sounds over boosted in the higher frequencies, causing it to sound harsh on voice, and thin on acoustic guitar.
