Today I review a headset from Audio Technica, the BPHS1. This is a broadcast headset that runs into an XLR & 6.3mm cable. The headphones are apparently very similar to the M30x, and they are my favorite Audio Technica headphones I’ve used so far. The mic lacks a lot in the lower frequencies, but that is by design. It helps ignore a lot of the lower frequencies to ensure vocal clarity in loud environments.

Today we compare two of the cheapest budget interfaces on the market, the Behringer UM2 and the Behringer UMC22, to find out which is best, and which one you should buy. The thing I was most excited about this test was comparing the Xenyx Preamp to the Midas Preamp. Let me know which one is your favorite!

Today I review an XLR Modeling Mic which allows you to get a U47, M49, ELAM 251, C12 tone, for a fraction of the costs of the microphones. The Sphere L22 is extremely versatile and seemed to work well on everything that I threw at it as it has a mic it’s modeling that fits most use cases, it has a low self noise of 7dBa, and it has great accessories. If you are not using the mic with universal audio interfaces, you will have to use a plugin in your daw and have to monitor that way so depending on your interface and computer, you may run into some latency issues. The mic will not get you the EXACT tone of these $10,000 microphones, but it’ll get you close enough that most people won’t be able to tell the difference.

Today we’re looking at a mic from a normally budget company, the Behringer B-2 Pro. This is one of Behringer’s higher end microphones, and it is pretty decent sounding for music. It has multiple polar patterns (cardioid, omni, figure-8), and a large treble and air boost that will provide you a lot clarity, and can make your vocals sound a bit breathier than normal.

Today we look at the Shure Beta 87a, a Supercardioid, Handheld, Condenser microphone. This mic did an incredible job at handling noise rejection, a very respectable job at background noise rejection, and it offers plenty of clarity and detail if you’re looking for that condenser tone on stage. However, the self noise is nearly 24dB, and that is just far too high for studio use, so in my opinion, this is limited to a stage microphone.
