Today I review a multi pattern condenser mic from Behringer, the C-3. This thing does a lot of things decently, but none of them great. If you are on a tight budget, and will actually use the multiple polar patterns, then I guess it would be a fine entry level option.

Today I review the RE20’s little brother, the RE320. This is a Broadcast Dynamic Mic that is a great option if the RE20 or SM7B are out of your budget. It has a great tone for spoken word, does great at off axis & rear rejection, and doesn’t suffer from a boomy proximity effect.

Today we’re looking at the new Blue Yeti X, a full featured entry level USB microphone. This iteration introduces Blue Vo!ce support which allows you to add real time processing to your yeti (if you’re using a Windows PC). The Yeti X has a bit more bass to it and a little grittier high end when compared to the original Blue Yeti, the Polar Pattern button is easy to unintentionally press while moving the microphone, and the multifunction dial on the front can be a bit clunky and a bit of a pain to use on the fly.

Today I share my thoughts on the best podcast mics for intermediate podcasters and professional podcasters ranging from $100 up to $3600. This is all purely subjective and based on my opinions. I would love to hear what you think the best mics are for podcasting for intermediate podcasters and professional podcasters.

I have many mic bags and I don't know what mic they go to. Also when searching for a specific mic, I have to open 10 mic bags to find the one I'm looking for. This solves that problem.

Today I review a cheap & affordable budget microphone; the Shure SV100. It comes in at $30 and compares favorable to other affordable dynamics, but is still beat out by the Behringer XM8500 in my opinion. I include comparisons to the Shure SM58, SM48, XM8500, and a lot more.

Today I review an amazing industry standard studio workhorse mic, the AKG C414 XLS. This is a multi pattern condenser with 9 polar patters, 6dBa self noise, and a max SPL 158dB. In my testing, this mic worked well on pretty much everything I through at it. It may not be my favorite on everything, but for an Austrian sounding mic, I think it’s outstanding.
