Today I review the Telefunken M81, a universal handheld dynamic microphone. This is not a cheap microphone, but it sounds excellent. You’re getting a microphone that has a clean sound with excellent clarity, with a slightly recessed mid section, and rolled back low frequency section to help curb handling noise / plosives / proximity effect. If you’re looking for a live microphone for vocals, guitar, or wind instruments, then this is an excellent option.

Today I review an affordable condenser mic, the Avantone CK-6 Classic. This mic has a controlled low end with a gooey low mid section and a more midforward sound with an apparent top end that does sound a bit recessed compared to similar priced mics. The big draw back to this mic is the ringing and resonance of it, so if you touch this mic it will ring like a bell.
