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.

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.
