Today I review the Sony ECMCS3 Clip style Omnidirectional Stereo Microphone. A cheap option for those who are looking for a budget lavalier / lapel microphone to record vlogs for youtube.
NOTE (FULL DISCLOSURE): If you purchase an item using my amazon link, it provides me a small referral fee which helps me purchase these microphones. For more info check my FAQ page links below.
Today we’re looking at a very versatile Field Recorder, the Zoom F1. This is a 2 track audio recorder that fits in your pocket, has a 3.5mm plugin power port for lavalier microphones, has Zoom’s 10-pin jack which gives you access to shotgun microphone capsules, dual XLR capsules, MS capsules, and more. It also records to the SD card up to 24-bit 96kHz, and can function as a USB Audio Interface at up to 16-bit 48kHz.

Today I review a budget microphone kit that goes for $10.00; the Zethydum Broadcast Mic Kit. Is it great, no. But does it work? Sometimes. It’s up to you if you want to gamble with this budget kit, but if you get it to work, I think you will have very few complaints because it is only $10 bucks.

Good sounding audio is important, and cameras internal mics, and internal mic press are pretty garbage. Recording separately can help with this. So here's how you clap sync audio that is recorded separately from your video.

Today I review the best microphone ever made, or at the very least one of them, the Neumann U67 Reissue. This is a multi pattern tube condenser microphone that sounds amazing. It offers a fairly controlled low end, neutral-ish mid section and a smooth top end that avoids sibilance and harshness. One main down side is the price and the Max SPL only hitting 124dB.

HQ Audio Of Review: https://podcastage.com/rev/sm81
Today I review another industry standard small diaphragm condenser microphone, the Shure SM81. This microphone offers a crazy flat frequency response that sounds natural and realistic. It offers a tolerable self noise for an SDC at 16dBa and has 2 very usable high pass filters and a -10dB pad. The pad does have pops and crackles when engaging, the HPF dial/switch is a bit hard to maneuver, and it has a low sensitivity for a condenser. However, if you're looking for a neutral SDC studio workhorse, this thing seems like it would fit the bill well.
