HQ Audio Of Review: https://podcastage.com/rev/wa251 Today i review the Warm Audio WA251, a clone of the legendary Telefunken ELAM 251. This is a slightly V-shaped sounding microphone with a bump in the bass and low mids and a lift in the treble and air. It offers a relatively smooth sound character and a low noise for a tube mic of 12dBA.

Today I review the Rode M2, a handheld, supercardioid, condenser microphone. I love this microphone. The mids and treble of this microphone are extremely flat, and then you get a nice boost in the air frequencies to open it up. It does a great job at background noise rejection, plosive rejection, and handling noise rejection, and provides an extremely smooth and natural sound. Absolutely killer mic at the price point.
