Today I review the Rode Complete Studio Kit, which consists of the new USB Interface, the Rode AI-1, and the classic Rode NT-1. This complete studio kit is a great option. The interface has 45dB of clean gain, and a powerful headphone amp.

Today I review the new budget mic from Behringer, the BX2020. Is it trying to copy the Audio Technica AT2020? We may never know. This is an affordable mic that has a quite sibilant top end and roll off in the low end. It also doesn’t do great at ambient noise rejection or plosive rejection. Oh did I mention that I have no idea if they’re trying to copy the AT2020?

Today I review the budget $25 dynamic microphone, the Behringer BA 85A. This is a copy of the Shure Beta 58a, and it’s an interesting cheap alternative. It has a super cardioid polar pattern to increase background noise rejection, but it suffers from bad plosive rejection, handling noise, and resonant frequencies. Still for $25, it’s an incredible option.

Today I review the Blue Baby Bottle SL. This microphone is warm microphone with a neutral low end and a transparent high end, with a slightly warmer mid section. If you want a more classic sounding microphone without the overly bright high section, this is a GREAT mid to high end microphone for you.

Today I review the Tonor Pro Vocal Dynamic Microphone. This is a very cheap, budget microphone that comes in under $20.00. This thing doesn’t have the best build quality, and it lacks in the lower frequencies and tends to be a bit overly bright. But it does have excellent off axis rejection, and does a decent job at handling noise.

Today I review the Sennheiser MK4, which is a great way to get into that Neumann sound without spending $700 or up. With a broad presence and treble boost, and a silky smooth proximity effect, this thing is spectacular for voice over, and with a self-noise of 10dBA and a very hot output signal, you won’t have to worry too much about extra noise.

Today I review the Sennheiser E935, which is a $180 cardioid handheld dynamic microphone. This thing has a presence boost to help cut through a mix, and rolls off the low frequencies below 150Hz, to tame the proximity effect. It performs excellent in terms of off axis rejection, handling noise rejection, and plosive rejection, and it has a very sturdy build quality. All around, I think this is a great live stage microphone.
