100,000 Subscribers & 4 Year Anniversary (Silver Play Button Unboxing)
Thank you all so much for supporting this channel over 4 years! You're all amazing and it's thanks to you that we've hit this milestone. I could not have done it without your continued support. Here's to 40 more years of me screaming at you all about microphones.
Today we’re looking at a super cardioid dynamic vocal microphone, the Sennheiser E945. This thing has a very clear and detailed tone with flat mids and tamed low end if you’re using the mic at a distance.

Today I review a set of open back headphones that have been replaced; the Sennheiser HD 598SE. The replacement model is the HD 598SR. These are relatively cheap open back headphones that offer a full and dark tone. If you’re looking for bass heavy, or bright headphones, you’ll want to continue looking. But if you’re like more mid forward headphones with a darker tone and a decent soundstage, these are pretty good for the price.
Buy the Sennheiser HD598SR

Today I review a new budget condenser mic from Mackie, the EM-91C. This is a rather dark condenser microphone, but it avoids any kind of sibilance or fatiguing sounds. Due to the treble and air cut it’s not as detailed or articulate as other affordable condenser, but I find it much more pleasing to listen to. I also compare it to the Neewer NW700, the Audio Technica AT2020, and the Neat King Bee.

Today I review the first dynamic mic from Mojave, the MA-D. This mic gives a very bright sound, but it handles that upper end very well. It also has a slightly pulled back midsection and a slight exageration in the bass and low mids which yields a V-shaped sound. As far as handheld dynamics go, it doesn't sound like any of the 17 other mics I compare it against.

Today we look at a Blue Snowball rip off from Swedish gaming company Arozzi, titled the Sfera. This microphone has a rather tinny tone, that doesn’t lend it self to any professional applications. If you are just chatting with your friends and you want a cool looking microphone, I’m sure it will be fine though.
Buy the Arozzi Sfera

Today I review the Audio Technica AT2010, a condenser microphone designed to be used on stage for live performances. The mic does an insanely good job at rejecting handling noise, while offering a more neutral tone than a standard dynamic stage mic. However, the mic does awful at rejecting plosives, it does pick up a touch more background noise, and it has a somewhat high self noise of 23dB.

WARNING: I no longer recommend using a USB soundcard to connect a microphone to your computer. It has become too unreliable due to manufacturers altering the components used in their products as well as alterations to operating systems causing additional problems. The only method of connecting a microphone to your computer that I recommend is with a USB AUDIO INTERFACE that is designed specifically for that use case.

Today I walkthrough, explain, test and review the relatively affordable tube microphone preamp; the Presonus TubePre V2. With this preamp you're getting +65dB of gain with a quoted EIN of -131dBu A-Weighted which is pretty darn good. You're also getting a drive dial which allows you to full on distort your audio input which can be incredibly fun.
