Shure SV100 Budget Mic Review / Test (Compared to XM8500, SM48, SM58)
Today I review a cheap & affordable budget microphone; the Shure SV100. It comes in at $30 and compares favorable to other affordable dynamics, but is still beat out by the Behringer XM8500 in my opinion. I include comparisons to the Shure SM58, SM48, XM8500, and a lot more.

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 Sennheiser MK4, which is a great way to get into that Neumann sound without spending $700 or up. With a broad presence and treble boost, and a silky smooth proximity effect, this thing is spectacular for voice over, and with a self-noise of 10dBA and a very hot output signal, you won’t have to worry too much about extra noise.

Today I review the Miktek T89, a supercardioid handheld dynamic microphone. This mic has a very clear and detailed tone that will help cut through the mix. It has a warm low-end, but can be a bit overwhelming in some instances. It does a great job at background noise rejection, but suffers when rejecting handling noise or plosives. All around at $100 it’s a GREAT contender for a handheld dynamic.

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.

Today we discuss my favorite audio gear of 2020. I limit the selections to one winner and one runner up which made it very difficult, but I share my favorite microphone that I reviewed this year, my favorite audio interface I reviewed, my favorite gear that I bought and the most essential gear that I use in my studio. I would love to hear what your favorite gear of the year is.
