WARNING: I no longer recommend using a USB soundcard to connect a microphone to your computer. It has become too unreliable due to manufacturers altering the components used in their products as well as alterations to operating systems causing additional problems. The only method of connecting a microphone to your computer that I recommend is with a USB AUDIO INTERFACE that is designed specifically for that use case.
Today I review a new budget mic from Neewer. The NW-500. This thing has a constant high frequency buzz in the background that makes it horrible for any professional applications.

Today I review, the cheapest piece of “Neve” gear on the market. This is the brand new Steinberg UR-RT2 USB Audio Interface, which has 2 mic pre’s with switchable Rupert Neve Transformers, +60dB of mic gain, and a 24-bit 192kHz Analog to Digital converter. I think this thing sounds great, but I only think musicians will really get a benefit from the Neve transformers. Voice over artists, should probably look somewhere else for a cheaper options.
CORRECTION: When I say "the Neve transformers add Distortion, I mean Saturation."

Today I review the MXL Revelation II which is an affordable multiple polar pattern tube condenser microphone. This has a very detailed top end and a round low end which over powers the mid section causing a slight V shaped sound.
