Today I review Sennheiser E609. This is an alternative to the SM57 as an instrument mic for home studio or live audio situations. I have to say this microphone blew me away on the electric guitar, it has tight lows and a nice open high end that provides an accurate representation of your amp.

Today I review a great budget USB mic that looks like an exact copy of the AT2005USB; the Knox KN-UM01. This mic will work well for those concerned with removing background noise as it is a dynamic cardioid mic.

Today we look at the successor to the famous Sony C800G, the C100. This is a solid state two way condenser mic with a frequency response of 20Hz - 50kHz. It offers a hyper-detailed and articulate sound as well as a clear mid section and a surprisingly hefty low end.

Today we look at a collaboration between Sennheiser and Apogee, the Sennheiser Handmic Digital. This is a Lightning & USB Dynamic microphone that sounds very similar to the Sennheiser E935, but with an A/D converter from Apogee. According to Allan Tepper from ProVideoCoallition.com, this thing actually has a hardware limiter as well, which is very impressive to see.

Today we look at the Roswell Pro Audio Mini K47 Condenser Microphone. This mic comes in the same (or very similar) body to the Neewer NW700. It has a mid forward tone with a gentle boost peaking around 5kHz, and roll off above 16kHz which makes it very pleasing and non-fatiguing.

Today I review the Lewitt LCT240 Pro, which is an Audio Technica AT2035 Competitor. This is the mic that Glenn Beck & The Blaze uses (I’ve been asked A LOT what their mics are). This is a detailed and clear sounding microphone, with a healthy proximity effect, that avoids sounding nasally. It does have a somewhat high self noise at 19dBA and can be sibilant and have a bit of grittiness in the upper range

Today I review a clone of the classic Neumann U87, the Warm Audio WA-87. I compare this mic to the U87 Ai, an sE4400a, and a JZ Mics Vintage 11. This mic has a very punchy mid section and over all smooth sound that sounds excellent on acoustics and vocals, especially if you’re going for a more vintage sound. I am extremely impressed with this microphone as a mic on it’s own, however, it yields a very different sound compared to the U87.
