Today I review a competitor to the Electro Voice RE50B, Electro Voice 635A, Rode Reporter, and Mono HM-M2, the Lewitt Interviewer (I also include a quick comparison to these microphones). This is an omnidirectional dynamic mic used for Electronic News Gathering. Of all the ENG microphones I’ve reviewed this has the cleanest and clearest tone, while avoiding the honky tone of some of it’s competitors. It doesn’t do the best at handling noise rejection though.

Today I review a budget / affordable XLR condenser microphone, the Tascam TM-80. The microphone comes in between $60-$70, and it has a mid forward sound with a smoother top end. It does a pretty good job with background noise rejection and I’ve heard microphones do a much worse job at plosive and shock rejection. For $60-$70, I think it’s a pretty good deal HQ Audio Of Review: https://podcastage.com/rev/tm80 Buy the Tascam TM80 (Affiliate Link) Amazon: https://geni.us/tm80 Sweetwater: https://imp.i114863.net/YQOom Buy the Pop Filter Used (Stedman Proscreen 101) (Affiliate Link) Amazon: https://geni.us/ps101 Buy the Focusrite 2i2 (3rd Gen)- Same Performance as 18i20 (Affiliate Link) Amazon: https://geni.us/2i32rd Sweetwater: https://imp.i114863.net/k6g4d 00:00 - Intro / Price / Disclaimer 00:21 - Setup 00:40 - What’s in the Box 01:05 - Build Quality / Walkthrough 01:50 - Specifications 02:13 - Polar Pattern Test (Tone / Rotation) 02:33 - Plosive Test 02:44 - Distance Test / Proximity Effect Test 03:01 - Background Noise Test 03:20 - Untreated Room Test 03:35 - Shock Mount Bump Test 03:50 - Mic Resonance Tap Test 04:04 - Boom Arm vs. Desktop Stand 05:12 - Mic Comparison Intro 05:25 - Neewer NW700 Comparison 06:01 - Behringer C1 Comparison 06:29 - Audio Technica AT2020 Comparison 07:06 - Presonus PX-1 Comparison 07:44 - Music Test 09:12 - Pros & Cons 10:22 - Overall Thoughts 12:33 - Recommendation 13:57- Outro Subscribe For More Videos: https://www.youtube.com/podcastage?sub_confirmation=1 Become a Member: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvOU-zTlankT-JjN3ZzvuKA/join My YouTube Setup: https://podcastage.com/studio My Favorite XLR Mics: https://podcastage.com/rev/favxlr My Favorite USB Mics: https://podcastage.com/rev/favusb Check the Frequently Asked Questions: https://podcastage.com/faq Vote For What You Want Reviewed: https://podcastage.com/vote NOTE (FULL DISCLOSURE): If you purchase an item using my amazon link, it provides me a small referral fee.
