Lewitt Pure Tube Review / Test (vs. AT2020, U67, TF51, LCT1040, U87)
HQ Audio Of Review: https://podcastage.com/rev/puretube Today I review the new Pure Tube from Lewitt. This thing offers a tamer top end compared to Lewitt's solid state mics and more detail and articulation than a lot of other tube mics. The studio set also comes with one of the best shockmounts I've ever used, and it has a self noise of only 7dBA which is crazy for a tube mic.
Today I review one of the most popular USB Mics for YouTube, the Blue Yeti Pro. Although it sounds good for music, I don't think it's ideal for most people on youtube. I explain this reasoning in the closing of the video.

In today's video, I review the Rode M3; a multi-powered condenser microphone. That means you can power this with standard phantom power, or with a battery! Yes! This is a battery powered condenser microphone!
Buy the M3

Today I review the Auna Mic 900B, a budget USB Condenser Mic. This thing is a VERY bright microphone, and it sounds over boosted in the higher frequencies, causing it to sound harsh on voice, and thin on acoustic guitar.

Today we compare the Neumann TLM102 and Neumann TLM103 to determine what the differences are and which one I like the best. On the TLM103 you’ll find 6dB higher output signal, 5db lower self noise, a less drastic bass roll off (high pass) and more prominent presence and air frequencies. The TLM103 is also significantly less "microphonic", meaning it picks up less bumps from the desk and bumps of the microphone/boom arm.
MISSING FROM VIDEO: I should have mentioned that I think both microphones sound great, but have a rather different tone to them. The conclusion here was difficult for me to arrive at. I had to be very picky to decide, and I even switched the conclusion a few times. What it really will come down to your personal preference in terms of which tone you like more.

Today I review the CAD U2, a USB headset from the folks at CAD. This budget headset offers mediocre build quality, subpar headphone performance, and mediocre mic performance. If you’re just looking for an option for VOIP, then this may be a fine option, and it may be a good option to send to your podcast guests who do not have mics. Other than that, I don’t really recommend this thing ESPECIALLY if you are a MAC user.
