Today I review a $13 lavalier microphone kit. This seems to be a similar built to a mic I reviewed 7 years ago and it has the sam functionality. The sound is tolerable but leans towards muddy in the bass and congested in the mids. It also has a low sensitivity and sounds like it has a high self noise so if you're looking for noiseless recordings this will not offer it for you.

Today we’re looking at the brand new Mixer, Audio Interface, Portable Recorder, Podcast Studio from Rode; the Rodecaster Pro. This thing has a fixed A/D conversion of 24-bit, 48kHz, offers +55dB of gain, has onboard processing, a soundboard, auto mix minus, and everything else you would need to start a podcast (as long as you don’t want to multi track, manipulate the processing, or run outboard gear). Let me know your thoughts of this device in the comments.

Today I review my daily driver, one of the best broadcast dynamic microphones on the market, the Shure SM7b. It’s hands down my favorite mic and has been used on H3H3 Productions Podcast, WTF! With Marc Maron, The Joe Rogan Experience, and many more.
CORRECTION: SM57/SM58 Frequency Response is 50Hz - 15kHz, as opposed to SM7b's 50Hz -20kHz

Today I compare 8 dynamic usb microphones to determine which one is best. The microphones in the shoot out are: Samson Q2u, Knox Dynamic USB, Audio Technica ATR2100USB, Audio Technica AT2005USB, Neewer NW-3500 USB, Pyle PDMICUSB6, Lyxpro HHMU-10, and the Rode Podcaster.

Ranking (Most likely to use to Least likely to use)

4. Knox Dynamic USB Mic
5. Rode Podcaster
6. Lyx Pro HHMU-10
7. Neewer NW-3500USB
8. Pyle PDMICUSB6
I ranked the Rode Podcaster above the Lyx Pro, Neewer, and Pyle due to the line noise on the pyle and the low gain on Lyx Pro and Neewer, which would make those mics extremely difficult to use.

Today I review the El Gato Wave 3 USB Condenser Microphone. This mic also includes a digital mixer allowing you to capture 5 additional sound sources and mix them for your stream. The sound is balanced, although a little lacking in the low end below 100Hz. I compare it to the Blue Snowball, Rode NT USB Mini, Blue Yeti, Hyper X Quadcast, Razer Seiren X, SM7b and More.

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.
