Sennheiser MD421 II Dynamic Mic Review / Test
Today we look at a classic microphone from Sennheiser, the MD421-ii, to see how it works for podcasts, vocals, and guitar. The microphones has a very full sound, with a 5kHz presence boost, with plenty of clarity and open sound. The mic does do a very bad job with plosives, and the mic clip is very easy to mistakenly hit the release button.

HQ Audio Of Review: https://podcastage.com/rev/tubeprev2
Video: https://youtu.be/TrKg-189ifE
Today I walkthrough, explain, test and review the relatively affordable tube microphone preamp; the Presonus TubePre V2. With this preamp you're getting +65dB of gain with a quoted EIN of -131dBu A-Weighted which is pretty darn good. You're also getting a drive dial which allows you to full on distort your audio input which can be incredibly fun.

AMAZO
amazonbasics-dynamic-vocal-microphone-2
Today I review the budget $20 microphone, the Amazon Basics Vocal Dynamic Mic. This mic has a roll off in the low-end which forces your attention to the upper boost. It does sound a bit gritty, but if you’re looking for a super cheap mic with a clear sound and recessed bass, for $20, this is a great option. I do recommend that you buy an XLR to XLR cable if you plan to record with this.

SHURE
shure-sm7b-mic-review-test

CORRECTION: SM57/SM58 Frequency Response is 50Hz - 15kHz, as opposed to SM7b's 50Hz -20kHz

ESSEN
essential-keychain-tool-for-content
Just a quick video about a keychain / carabiner tool that Rode sent me a year or so ago. This converts 1/4" to 3/8", 3/8" to 5/8", and 5/8" to 1/4".
Marked as paid promo because Rode sent this to me. They did not pay me any money, they did not ask me to make a video about it. It's just interesting and figured I'd share it with you in case it solves a problem.
