Today I review the Miktek T89, a supercardioid handheld dynamic microphone. This mic has a very clear and detailed tone that will help cut through the mix. It has a warm low-end, but can be a bit overwhelming in some instances. It does a great job at background noise rejection, but suffers when rejecting handling noise or plosives. All around at $100 it’s a GREAT contender for a handheld dynamic.

HQ Audio Of Review: https://podcastage.com/rev/ma200 Today I review a tube mic from MOJAVE, the MA-200. This is a cardioid only condenser mic and it has a sound that seems fitting for modern pop with a clear mid section and airy top end. It is very sensitive to low end rumble and it picks up a lot of the room you're recording in so you'll need to be aware of that.
