Today I review a streamer microphone from Elgato, the Wave DX. This mic offers a very bright and clear sound without much to support it in the lower frequencies. It does do a fairly good job at plosive rejection, but it suffers quite a bit from shocks and isn't able to reject those. If you're looking for a very bright sounding mic then this may be the right pick for you.

Today I review two of the most unique mics I’ve tested to date, the Carbonphone RU-80 and Copperphone Mini. These are effect microphones that make you sound like you are recording in the 1920’s and 1930’s on an AM radio.
