Today I review the AKG P220. This Is 1” condenser microphone that has a very flat mid section and a boosted high end. This leads the mic to sound a bit top heavy, brittle, sibilant, and breathy. The only application I really liked it for was on acoustic guitar because it adds a nice percussiveness to the tone.

Today I review a budget microphone from Sterling made for instrument, the P10. This mic offers a controlled low end which helps avoid muddiness, a very mid forward sound, and then a tame treble and air section. In my tests I found that it did really well on electric guitar, and was workable on acoustic and singing (in a controlled space). I don't necessarily think it's an effective spoken word microphone though but it's not designed to be.

Is a budget tube preamp any good? In today's video I test, demo, and review the Art Tube MP. This preamp has a +60dB gain preamp with a quoted EIN of -129dBu, and +10dB boost on the output stage. The only other feature it offers is the ability to invert your phase.

Today I review the brand new budget broadcast dynamic microphone, the Polsen MC-Pod. This is a very affordable mic that has a somewhat full body, a little bit of an inarticulate mid section, and a touch sibilant top end. For the price it’s a very compelling mic though. I compare it to the Zoom ZDM-1, Shure SM58, sE Electronics v7, Presonus PD-70, Sontronics Podcast Pro, and MXL BCD-1.

I have many mic bags and I don't know what mic they go to. Also when searching for a specific mic, I have to open 10 mic bags to find the one I'm looking for. This solves that problem.
