Today I compare two large diaphragm dynamic mics, the Electro Voice RE-320 & the Rode Procaster to see which one is best. I was so torn between these mics, but I think either will be a GREAT option for your podcast or gaming videos.

Today we’re looking at a budget usb microphone, the FiFine K670. This mic comes in at under $50, and seems to work well enough. It does have an over boosted high end that can be a bit harsh and fatiguing, but I think plenty of people upgrading from gaming headsets will be perfectly happy with this thing.

Today I review the Beyerdynamic TG V70 Handheld Dynamic Mic. This thing has hyper-cardioid polar pattern, a neutral low-mid section, with a significant high mid, presence, and treble boost, as well as a dangerous amount of proximity effect to play with. I think this may be my new favorite handheld dynamic microphone. If you’re looking for live vocal mic, this thing is killer.

Today I review a budget USB Dynamic Mic, the LyxPro HHMU-10 or HMU-10. This thing is just a USB mic, there’s no latency free monitoring or XLR output. For the price, I don’t think I could justify it since the Q2u is a few dollars more expensive.

Today I review the Lauten Audio LA220. This is a large diaphragm FET condenser microphone, that is a utilitarian workhorse. It offers a smooth and even sound to it that works great for spoken word and singing as well as acoustic guitar. I also compare it to the Rode NT1, Neewer NW7000, Audio Technica AT2020, and Sennheiser MK4.

Today I walkthrough, explain, test and review Golden Age Project Pre-73 MKIII which is a budget Neve 1073 style preamp. This offers +80dB of gain with 2 high pass filters and 2 high shelf filters as well as a variable mic input impedance. For a budget outboard pre, this thing is very powerful and versatile.

Today we discuss my favorite audio gear of 2022. I limit the selections to a Top 3 which made it very difficult, but I share my favorite microphone that I reviewed this year, my favorite audio interface I reviewed, and my favorite new production gear that I use in my studio. I would love to hear what your favorite gear of the year is.
