Today I review an impressive budget microphone for under $25, the new Neewer NW-7000. If you're looking for a budget condenser mic, then this would be a great option if connected to a USB Audio Interface.

Today I review an iPhone microphone, the iRig Mic Studio, which is an iOS / Android / Mac / Windows compatible microphone. This mic provides clarity that is almost too much, due to the overly boosted high end, causing it to sound slightly unnatural. It records 24-bit 48kHz which is nice, and it does a decent job at rejecting plosives.
Buy the IK Multimedia iRig Mic Studio

Today we’re looking at an entry level interface from M-Audio, the M-Track 2x2 C Series. This interface costs around $100, records up to 24-bit 192kHz, has relatively low latency, gain of +60 to +65 dB (guessing), mixing dial to mix between zero latency monitoring and computer playback, and amazing dials.

HQ Audio Of Review: https://podcastage.com/rev/lct840
Today i review the Lewitt LCT840, a multi-pattern tube condenser mic that offers 5 great sounding polar patterns, two pads, and two high pass filters. I hear more mids than other lewitt mics with a slightly different top end which isn't overly bright in the treble, but it offers a really nice upper treble and air region which maintains a smooth sound.

Conversion: 24-bit / 48kHz
