Today I review a relatively decade old mic manufacturer’s only dynamic mic, The JZ Mic HH-1. This thing has a great build quality, does a superb job at off axis and rear rejection, and offers a crisp clean high end with a roll off in the bass to avoid muddiness or boominess. If you don’t like the lack of air or detail in the SM58, this is a great option for live vocals. 00:00 - Intro / Price 00:24 - Setup 00:39 - What’s in the Box 00:53 - Build Quality / Features 01:13 - Specifications 01:27 - Polar Pattern Test 01:39 - Handling Noise Test 01:44 - Background Noise Test 01:51 - Distance Test (Including Proximity Effect) 01:58 - Music Test 02:17 - Pros & Cons 02:58 - Conclusion & Thoughts 03:48 - Recommendation 04:20 - Outro Buy the JZ Mics HH-1 Global: https://geni.us/jzhh1 Buy the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 (2nd Gen) US: http://amzn.to/2vDFbzK UK: http://amzn.to/2w8O2f6 CA: http://amzn.to/2wKGKfG DE: http://amzn.to/2hbtxsV My YouTube Kit: https://podcastage.com/studio My Favorite XLR Mics: https://podcastage.com/rev/favxlr My Favorite USB Mics: https://podcastage.com/rev/favusb NOTE (FULL DISCLOSURE): If you purchase an item using my amazon link, it provides me a small referral fee.

Today I review & sound test a budget lav mic that costs only $20!!! This thing seems to be universally compatible, and offers pretty nice audio for the price tag. If you are on a budget and looking for the best lav mic, then this may be a good contender. 00:00 - Intro / Setup / Disclaimers 00:43 - What’s in the Box 01:00 - Build Quality / Features 01:46 - Specifications 02:06 - Polar Pattern Test 02:15 - Background Noise Test 02:24 - Device Compatibility Sound Tests 04:12 - Thoughts / Recommendation Buy the Boys BY-M1 Global: https://geni.us/bym1 Buy the Zoom H1 US: http://amzn.to/2s7PlGh UK: http://amzn.to/2upYOcX CA: http://amzn.to/2ssCg9Z Buy the Scarlett Solo US: http://amzn.to/2oZrjhG UK: http://amzn.to/2oFbxFa CA: http://amzn.to/2oZADlB Buy the Sabrent USB-SBCV US: http://amzn.to/2sSEQXb UK: N/A CA: N/A My YouTube Kit: https://podcastage.com/studio My Favorite XLR Mics: https://podcastage.com/rev/favxlr My Favorite USB Mics: https://podcastage.com/rev/favusb NOTE (FULL DISCLOSURE): If you purchase an item using my amazon link, it provides me a small referral fee.

Today I review an XLR Modeling Mic which allows you to get a U47, M49, ELAM 251, C12 tone, for a fraction of the costs of the microphones. The Sphere L22 is extremely versatile and seemed to work well on everything that I threw at it as it has a mic it’s modeling that fits most use cases, it has a low self noise of 7dBa, and it has great accessories. If you are not using the mic with universal audio interfaces, you will have to use a plugin in your daw and have to monitor that way so depending on your interface and computer, you may run into some latency issues. The mic will not get you the EXACT tone of these $10,000 microphones, but it’ll get you close enough that most people won’t be able to tell the difference.

Today I review one of the most popular broadcast dynamic microphones, the Electro Voice RE-20. Some people may think this thing is ugly, but it sounds pretty rad for spoken word. I found that the extended frequency response does make it more susceptible to sibilance and harshness, but it does provide added clarity.
