Today we check out Rode’s “Broadcast” condenser microphone aptly named the Broadcaster. This thing has a full body in the low endand plenty of clarity which makes for a nice broadcast tone, especially when you throw on a compressor and de-esser. The mic does suffer from plosives, and does lean a bit on the sibilant side though, but all around it’s still a nice spoken word microphone. On the other hand, for music applications, I don’t think it stands out among the other options on the market.

Today I walkthrough, explain, test and review the new Tascam Mixcast 4 which is a podcasting console similar to the Rodecaster Pro. I compare the preamp to the Rodecaster Pro 1 to see if there's a significant difference or not, test the SM7b on this interface, and walk through all the processing, and software.

Today I review the first dynamic mic from Mojave, the MA-D. This mic gives a very bright sound, but it handles that upper end very well. It also has a slightly pulled back midsection and a slight exageration in the bass and low mids which yields a V-shaped sound. As far as handheld dynamics go, it doesn't sound like any of the 17 other mics I compare it against.

Today I review the Shure MV5-LTG, a small, portable, travel microphone that’s compatible with iOS and Mac. The audio from this thing is decent, but it is very difficult to get decent mic placement. It also has a plastic build quality which would make me reluctant to throw this in my suitcase.
