Today I review a new budget mic from Neewer. The NW-500. This thing has a constant high frequency buzz in the background that makes it horrible for any professional applications.

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 I review the brand new Rode PodMic, an entry level budget podcasting microphone. I also compare it to the Shure SM58, sE Electronics V7, and Sennheiser E835. This microphone seems to be tuned specifically for spoken word, and it does it’s job very well. At $100, Rode has made a very compelling option for entry level podcasters.

Today I review a mic that I bought for $16, a mic that I had labeled the worst mic that I have ever used. The CAD U1 seems to be a revised version of the version I reviewed in 2015, and it is a massive improvement over the original. I do think it still has quite a few faults that you'll need to be aware of while using it.

Today I review the AT8035, a 14.5” line + gradient condenser microphone. The microphone works well for voice over and for booming at a few feet. This mic has a bit of a bright tone, but still offers a fairly accurate representation of the sound that you’re putting into it. If you don’t have room for a mic as long as the 8035, the AT875r is a great alternative.
