Samson R10S Dynamic Vocal Microphone Review / Test
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 walkthrough, explain, test and review the Elgato WaveXLR. This thing essentially turns any XLR mic into a Wave3. This has 75dB of gain for your microphone (so yes it can drive the Shure SM7b), it has a digital mixer to mix multiple digital sound sources, and also has a clipboard feature to ensure you don’t distort your analog to digital converters. Regarding the A/D converters it is 24-bit 48/96kHz, which is great.

Today I review the microphone that PewDiePie uses, the AKG C414XLII. This is a large diaphragm condenser microphone, and it is a work horse. It has 9 polar patterns, 3 high passes, and 3 pads so you can fit it to whatever your use case is.

Today I review the brand new microphone from Sennheiser, the MD445. This is a super cardioid handheld dynamic microphone that does a great job at background noise rejection and handling noise rejection. The mic tone is very bright and offers some nice shimmer to singing vocals, but for spoken word I personally think the boost in the top end is a bit too much.
