Today I review the Dragonpad USA mic, a budget XLR condenser mic that looks exactly like the NW800 / BM800. Surprisingly, this mic has a very different sound than the aforementioned microphones. This mic lacks a lot of low end and sounds thin.

Today I review an iPhone microphone, the iRig Mic Studio, which is an iOS / Android / Mac / Windows compatible microphone. This mic provides clarity that is almost too much, due to the overly boosted high end, causing it to sound slightly unnatural. It records 24-bit 48kHz which is nice, and it does a decent job at rejecting plosives.

Today I review the Deity S-Mic 2, a microphone on par with shotgun microphones double its price. This offers a relatively flat frequency response, a very sturdy build quality, and water resistance if you record in humid environments. If you’re looking for a more neutral shotgun microphone sub $500, this is a great option in my opinion.

Today I review a budget / affordable XLR condenser microphone, the Tascam TM-80. The microphone comes in between $60-$70, and it has a mid forward sound with a smoother top end. It does a pretty good job with background noise rejection and I’ve heard microphones do a much worse job at plosive and shock rejection. For $60-$70, I think it’s a pretty good deal HQ Audio Of Review: https://podcastage.com/rev/tm80 Buy the Tascam TM80 (Affiliate Link) Amazon: https://geni.us/tm80 Sweetwater: https://imp.i114863.net/YQOom Buy the Pop Filter Used (Stedman Proscreen 101) (Affiliate Link) Amazon: https://geni.us/ps101 Buy the Focusrite 2i2 (3rd Gen)- Same Performance as 18i20 (Affiliate Link) Amazon: https://geni.us/2i32rd Sweetwater: https://imp.i114863.net/k6g4d 00:00 - Intro / Price / Disclaimer 00:21 - Setup 00:40 - What’s in the Box 01:05 - Build Quality / Walkthrough 01:50 - Specifications 02:13 - Polar Pattern Test (Tone / Rotation) 02:33 - Plosive Test 02:44 - Distance Test / Proximity Effect Test 03:01 - Background Noise Test 03:20 - Untreated Room Test 03:35 - Shock Mount Bump Test 03:50 - Mic Resonance Tap Test 04:04 - Boom Arm vs. Desktop Stand 05:12 - Mic Comparison Intro 05:25 - Neewer NW700 Comparison 06:01 - Behringer C1 Comparison 06:29 - Audio Technica AT2020 Comparison 07:06 - Presonus PX-1 Comparison 07:44 - Music Test 09:12 - Pros & Cons 10:22 - Overall Thoughts 12:33 - Recommendation 13:57- Outro Subscribe For More Videos: https://www.youtube.com/podcastage?sub_confirmation=1 Become a Member: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvOU-zTlankT-JjN3ZzvuKA/join My YouTube Setup: https://podcastage.com/studio My Favorite XLR Mics: https://podcastage.com/rev/favxlr My Favorite USB Mics: https://podcastage.com/rev/favusb Check the Frequently Asked Questions: https://podcastage.com/faq Vote For What You Want Reviewed: https://podcastage.com/vote NOTE (FULL DISCLOSURE): If you purchase an item using my amazon link, it provides me a small referral fee.
