Today I review a relatively affordable clone of the U47, the Warm Audio WA-47 Jr. This has a slight midforward sound with a slower sounding treble range making it sound less detailed and articulate. In my opinion this culminates into a more vintage sounding tone. If you're buying this microphone, buy it because you like the sound of this microphone, not because you like the U47.

Today I review the brand new microphone from Sennheiser, the MD435. This is a 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.

Today I review the Blue Mouse, which is the microphone used on Good Mythical Morning and by Shroud. This microphone offers a pretty great sound with plenty of body and a nice amount of detail to it. The coolest thing about this mic is you can rotate the microphone capsule to ensure you’re micing up exactly what you want to. I also compare it to the Neumann TLM103, Audio Technica AT2020, Neat King Bee, Rode NT1, Blue Baby Bottle SL, and Shure KSM44a.

Today we take a look at the AT2020USBi from Audio Technica. This is an iOS compatible USB Condenser microphone that’s also compatible with windows and Mac. The one main con of this mic is that it doesn’t have 0 latency monitoring, but it does record up to 24-bit 96kHz.
