Today we’re looking at a stage dynamic vocal microphone, the Electro Voice ND76. This is an alternative to the SM58, which offers more clarity and detail due to an 8dB boost around 6kHz, and also does a great job at rejecting handling noise and off-axis rejection, however, it doesn’t do the best at rejecting plosives.

Today I review the Zoom ZDM-1 Budget Podcasting Microphone. This kit has a dynamic mic, headphones, XLR cable, mic stand, and windscreen. The microphone has a clear sound with a fairly controlled low end which can get a touch wooly in the low mids if you get too close. It also suffers from plosives and shocks, but does a great job at background noise rejection. All round for $120 the mic sounds pretty great. I also compare it to the SM58, sE V7, Rode Podmic, MXL BCD-1, Sontronics Podcast Pro, Shure SM7b, and Electro Voice RE20 HQ Audio Of Review: https://podcastage.com/rev/zdm1 Buy the Zoom ZDM-1 Kit (Affiliate Link) Amazon: https://geni.us/zdm1 Sweetwater: https://imp.i114863.net/2PxdM Buy the Pop Filter Used (Stedman Proscreen 101) (Affiliate Link) Amazon: https://geni.us/ps101 Buy the Focusrite 2i2 (3rd Gen)- Same Performance as 18i20 (Affiliate Link) Amazon: https://geni.us/2i32rd Sweetwater: https://imp.i114863.net/k6g4d 00:00 - Intro / Price / Disclaimer 00:28 - Setup 00:44 - What’s in the Box 01:29 - Build Quality / Walkthrough 01:56 - Specifications 02:15 - Polar Pattern Test (Tone / Rotation) 02:35 - Plosive Test 02:53 - Distance Test / Proximity Effect Test 03:09 - Background Noise Test 03:26 - Untreated Room Test 03:40 - Shock Mount Bump Test 03:59 - Mic Resonance Tap Test 04:13 - Windscreen Tone Test 04:48 - Shure SM58 Comparison 05:40 - sE Electronics V7 Comparison 06:18 - Rode Podmic Comparison 06:51 - MXL BCD-1 Comparison 07:25 - Sontronics Podcast Pro Comparison 08:02 - Shure SM7b Comparison 08:52 - Electro Voice RE20 Comparison 09:56 - Music Test 11:28 - Pros & Cons 13:04 - Overall Thoughts 15:38 - Recommendation 16:42 - Outro Subscribe For More Videos: https://www.youtube.com/podcastage?sub_confirmation=1 Become a Member: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvOU-zTlankT-JjN3ZzvuKA/join My YouTube Setup: https://podcastage.com/studio My Favorite XLR Mics: https://podcastage.com/rev/favxlr My Favorite USB Mics: https://podcastage.com/rev/favusb Check the Frequently Asked Questions: https://podcastage.com/faq Vote For What You Want Reviewed: https://podcastage.com/vote NOTE (FULL DISCLOSURE): If you purchase an item using my amazon link, it provides me a small referral fee.

oday we look at the a brand new microphone from Shure; the KSM8 Dualdyne Dual Diaphragm Handheld Dynamic Vocal Microphone…that’s a mouth full. This thing use 2 diaphragms to assist in reducing proximity effect and improve off axis rejection. It has a much more neutral frequency response compared to the SM58, and provides a smooth and articulate tone with a full low-end without introducing any muddiness.
