Today I compare two large diaphragm dynamic mics, the Electro Voice RE-320 & the Rode Procaster to see which one is best. I was so torn between these mics, but I think either will be a GREAT option for your podcast or gaming videos.

Today I review a budget dynamic microphone that was designed for Karaoke, the Samson R10s. This thing costs under $20, and terminates into a 3.5mm jack. Unfortunately it is extremely quiet, has a very high self noise, and suffers from excessive handling noise and cable noise.

Today I review a budget USB interface that has a built in tube preamp; the Behringer MIC500USB Tube Ultragain Preamp. This thing is different, and will work fine for basic uses, but if you're going to be use this to run guitar DI, or using it for professional applications, I would suggest looking elsewhere.

Today I review a wireless gaming microphone, the Mod Mic Wireless. Full disclosure, this was sent to me by Antlion in order to conduct this review. This mic has great wireless functionality, but in the sound department I think it’s a step backwards from the Mod Mic 4 and 5. This loses all the body that was so appealing in the wired mics from Antlion, and the capsule seems extremely easy to overload. I think if you can get by with a wired gaming mic, you should go with the Mod Mic 4 or Mod Mic 5, they sound a LOT better. But if you absolutely NEED a wireless mic, this does still sound better than many gaming headset’s audio.
