Do you Feel it now Rebels?! (FeelWorld PM1 Dynamic Microphone XLR Review and Test)
Here is a very affordable dynamic broadcast microphone made by Feelworld. They were kind enough to send me one over, for free, and I will be covering what it has to offer. This video will be strictly covering this microphone in its XLR signal. Feelworld and I both agreed on this for this specific video. I will possibly be covering the USB function in a future video.

Too Simple to be good? Sennheiser XSW wireless Lavalier System Review and Test
Do you need a compressor if you’re using clip guard wouldn’t that be considered the compressor
A compressor is much more than that and also a different tool all together. A clip guard aka a limiter, cuts off the peaks at a set limit in db. Some are soft some are harsh. The wave link one is more so a soft limiter. A compressor takes your highest points and your lowest points and "compresses them together. Louder gets lower, lower gets higher. Thats basically how they work. There are many more tweek you can make with these tools but if you're not doing it in a "studio setting" you really don't need the "advanced settings". Hope this helps!
Sometimes honesty is a bitter pill to swallow when you have a long held opinion of some gear and then you put it up against something new to you. Honest video - fair appraisals. Thank you very much.
very true, just have to grow from what we learn and keep on going. Thanks for checking out the video!
Bro can u suggest me for my mic lewitt 440 pure Extraordinary cable but only one and long lasting & budget friendly 😅 Please 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Any of the live wire cables will be good and not too expensive
2035 has bigger membrane what MUST affect the result!
Thank you SO MUCH for this, especially the untreated room test. I was leaning toward saving for the 7B, but due to living circumstances I can't really have a treated studio. Hearing the quality in the untreated room was that similar, on something that's now less than half the price (especially since I already have a good preamp), is really going to save me. Eventual goals are still 7B, but this let me see that in my situation and useage, the 7B's strengths (outside plosives) can't shine in comparison. At least not to a degree that makes it worth the extra $220 for me.
Thanks for checking out the video! Glad it helped!
Niceee
Well 2 years later and the ZDM-1 is now half the price at $50 compared to the AT 2040, I agree the 2040 is very odd but the problem is when it sounds bad it's really bad and sounds super nasally and flat and the ZDM-1 is more consistent and sounds better even than when the 2040 is sounding good
Self noise & SNR of the AT2020 makes it unacceptable. The SNR of the AT2035 & AT4040 are at 82db and much better than the AT2020. I've used AT products since the late 1970s. I've owned the AT2020, AT2035,AT4040 and some of the smaller condensers. I currently own 3 AT2035s and 1 AT4040.
I think if you fart into the microphone the shield can contain the smell better, but that is about it.
That’s how you get pink eye 😜
Have you done a podmic vs at2035?
Be aware that this seal is fiberglass. You should use a mask while working around those frayed fibers. It’s such a stupid design. You’ll probably notice your super itchy and irritated skin from the fiberglass that’s now imbedded in your clothing. I will never purchase a dryer with a similar gasket moving forward.
This is very helpful. Do you know if they make an alternative gasket, made out of another material?
@@RebelTech1990 I don’t know. I ordered the same replacement part reluctantly. I fear using an alternative may mark up the clothing. There’s got to be a better way though
Thank Justin for this UNIQUE video. As of today, August 1st, 2024, yours is the ONLY one on UA-cam that talks about update 2.0 for Zoom F6. That's strange because it includes a feature that allows 32-bit float audio interface support. I have one question, please. Four years ago, when it was first released, some people reported that Zoom F6 has Line Out issue. Has it been fixed in 2024? Or do the users still have to use the workaround? Thanks again.
I have an mv7 for my dynamic microphone. The AT 4040 will be an excellent condenser microphone and is worth the investment. Amazingly clear audio from what I've noticed.
Rodecaster Pro Ii + SM7B 🔥
vocals and guitar we record using LCT240 - ua-cam.com/video/cpOEPaa-COs/v-deo.html
Thanks for the recommendation!
at4040 is 4 times more expensive.Sooooo?
I have been using same mic and Wave XLR. Is that possible to leverage the sound for live streams and live mic monitoring video recordings? Definitely I’m getting better sound with Rode Rodecaster Pro 2 than Wave XLR with Shute SM7B. Please help with Wave XLR to get better sound.
Thank you so much! Helped with a gig I have coming up. Hope you’re well! 🙏
Thanks for checking out the video! Glad it helped!
The 20 series have such harsh highs and they're not even real condensers really bad quality 🤮
I just picked up the 150/130 double package and I also got a pop filter and a mic stand with it all for 50 bucks. Kicker is they were purchased and never used. I got lucky on Facebook Marketplace. So far, no complaints through an Apogee Ensemble interface. Actually...quite nice
You can always spot this mic immediately in blind comparisons due to that massive high end boost which is harsh and sibilant as hell. Whoever designed this must have hearing damage.
Great review. Still wonder why they don't just ship it along with the unit and add that price. So annoying!
well done, good review keep going.
Interesting results. I have both of these microphones and I prefer the Rode PodMic. I am using the Podcaster Duo as my interface. My voice sounded deeper, rounder and punchier than the Shure, but my voice is deeper than yours. I need to spend more time tweaking MV7X, but initially, I was disappointed with the results. Maybe because I had SM7B expectations. I will revisit, but right now the PodMic is my goto. I also plosives more prominent using the MV7X.
hey, how many gain you set in wave link software?
Can you tell me the Sennheiser mic you were referring to so I can check that one out as well?
Mkh 416
Don’t care what anyone says- My White Lewitt w/White Holder is amazing 🤩 ( are you kidding me???) What an outstanding performance piece for this price ✅🙌‼️
Thanks for the help
Just wondering if poly files can be opened by DAW/? Im using Presonus and it doesnt seem to recognize the nature of the file and instead just gives me one track to work with.
That mic sounds good, but it seems to have a horrible time with plosives. They needed to provide a thicker foam windscreen with that mic for sure. Thanks for the great content! BTW it would be nice if you can slowly rotate the mic as you continue speaking, to demonstrate off-axis rejection.
Problem with a thicker wind screen is that it alters the tone more. That why I recommend the pop filters, especially the metal ones. They alter it less. The reason why I don’t rotate it while doing off axis is because I don’t want handling noise distracting the test. That’s why I walk around it Thanks for checking out the video
@@RebelTech1990 Hey that might be a topic for another video... how much does thicker foam (or doubled up foam which I understand is sometimes done in professional settings) affect tone. I have an old Audio-Technica ATM73a head-worn condenser that sounds (to me) best with doubled up foam cover.
Your reviews got me to get my first dynamic mic, the Zoom ZDM-1. Who can beat it at $37.99... its a steal. Not really interested in field recorders, but if I were, I'd probably watch Curtis Judd... but Podcastage does videos I'm more interested in... also enjoy Dark Corner Studios. Surprised you hadnt reviewed the Blue Sona nor the Dynacaster. From the reviews, I'd pick one of those over an SM7b unless I just want the "look"... but I'm perfectly content with my $37.99 Zoom ZDM-1!
I think the Audio Technica AT897 would have been a better match for the MKH416.
It kind of does demonstrate why the Lewitt could be a better choice for recording acoustic guitar. I hope so, as I've just ordered a 040 matched pair. I assume they'll be great for me while I work out just what I need for acoustic guitar recording. The bottom end is important, but certainly the octiva sounds like it's got a lot I'd have to filter out both for recording the guitar, but for the background noise where I record.
Thanks for checking out the video
I got the rode procaster and the wave xlr. does anyone know whether I can connect a fathead to the rode procaster without damaging anything? Would work, would it not..?
It should work just fine. Just make sure you put on phantom power. Also put the fethead on the wave xlr side. Less chance of damaging the mic. It shouldn’t but if you’re worried about it then that works too. Thanks for checking out the video
at2020 is better
On the second cmparison video of these and I actually am not a fan of either so far..just me? I find the Fifine entry mics to sound better even?
Really love your videos! I m a beginner field recorder and'll start working on a short movie on Monday (tomorrow)! I got the Zoom F6 last week together with some omni mics and a shotgun; your videos are REALLY saving me, a lot of precious informations in here! Thanks a lot, man!!!
Happy to help buddy! Thanks for checking out the video!
_//Thanks for sharing the video! Let me tell you something important: God loves you! God loves us ! He is no respecter of persons! because God wants us all to be saved! and let's go to the knowledge of the “Truth” God wants to save us from eternal damnation, which we all deserve because of sin, who entered the world through Adam, and death entered through sin, and thus death passed to all human beings, Therefore, we are all “Sinners” But God's Love was so great for us, that he sent his only Son (Jesus Christ), gave him to this world, to die and rise for all of us! No Respect of Persons! so that everyone who believes in Jesus Christ does not go to eternal punishment, but rather has “Eternal Life!” “ Jesus Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures; and he was buried, and rose again on the third day, according to the Scriptures Jesus Christ came to call sinners to “Repentance! “ and, he who believes in Him, has “Eternal Life! “But whoever refuses to believe in Jesus Christ, the wrath of God remains on him. Then, as through Adam's transgression, condemnation came to all human beings, in the same way, through the justice of Jesus Christ, justification of life came to all human beings! All of us who believe in The Only Savior of the world! The Only Mediator between God and us! The Lord Jesus Christ! The son of God! All of us who trust in Him; we have “Eternal Life! “ And we must know that there is salvation in no one else; because there is no other name under heaven, given to human beings, in which we can be saved. Only by Believing/Trusting in “Jesus Christ” can we be Saved! But Jesus Christ also said: Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Therefore, we must be doers of the Word of God! and not only listeners and/or readers, deceiving ourselves. So let's read the Word of God! There is His Will! what God wants us to do! Let us read mainly the Gospels; Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, and let us pray to God, our Heavenly Father, all the days of the life that He gave us! God loves you! God loves us! To Him alone be the Glory Forever! Amen! Bible Source: Acts 10:34-35 / 1 Timothy 2:3-6 / Romans 5:12 / John 3:16 / 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 / Luke 5:32 / John 3:36 / Romans 5:18 / John 6:47 / Acts 4:12 / Matthew 7:21 / James 1:22 /
Great video! I have been using my F6 in 32-bit float mode and still have some clipping displayed in Audacity. I was just wondering how to repair the audio file in post-production when using the 32-bit float mode?
Some programs can’t process 32 bit. Usually it’s just as easy as lowering the level so that the peaks are brought to normal. Thanks for checking out the video!
I'd rather not risk cheaper cables, even on a feed from a cheap microphone. A production-killing cable fault is just as damaging and disruptive on a Behringer as on a Neumann. If you can, without sacrificing other priorities, buy it once and buy it right.
. I might add, try & match outlets with plugs. Neutrik outlets? Get Neutrik plugs for best fit. Then pick a cable manufacturer of choice.
Thank you!
You’re welcome, thanks for checking out the video!
I am getting the PodMic since I only need it for corporate calls, however, I am curios to see what you think about the pop filter they introduced with the usb. I heard reviewers say it actually changes the sound a bit
Any thick apparatus will alter the tone. Just need to find one that has a happy compromise with plosive and tone. I’ve noticed that the metal pop filters don’t alter the tone as much
at 2040 has that nasally shure sm58 sound which I really dislike
i have the sm7db and no one can hear me and i did click the right mic but still nothing any tips
Do you have a fethead or cloud lifter in the signal chain?
@@RebelTech1990 I looked it up and it says I didn’t need any of that bc of the built in preamp and they said make sure u have a audio interface that has 48 phantom power which I did but as of rn I did returned it and got myself the mv7+
I mean this as constructively as possible… As someone who watches almost every microphone-related video on UA-cam, I struggle with the meandering nature of yours. I feel like there is about 6-8 minutes of very good information spread across 20-25 minutes and I often end up passing over your videos for more concise options. There may be people who prefer the more long form style (if enough people, then disregard this altogether), but I’m sure there are many people like me who see how long the video is and move right past it to a more easily digestible one.
That’s why I do this for fun and it doesn’t matter if I get a ton of views. I make my videos as short as I can without losing information I feel is necessary to be heard. I feel if I cut stuff, for the sake of making it more appealing to people that don’t want to sit for 20 minutes, I’ll lose my message. Might sounds a bit narrow minded but it’s just how I feel. But I also leave chapters in the videos so skipping is always an option. I do appreciate the feedback, it’s always great to hear everyone’s opinions. Thanks for checking out the video
@@RebelTech1990 That is a totally reasonable explanation. I respect that you do it the way you want to regardless of views - I am the exact same way with the podcast I do with my son. We have fun making it, and I get to to use different gear along the way. Keep enjoying what you do!
How do you get it to sound a little more bass heavy and radio show sounding with this setup?
Probably the closest one to the SM7B. Was eyeing the Presonous PD-70 but now I think I'm gonna get the AT2040 instead. Thanks!! 😊
Greetings which do you understand that the sterling ST159 - - - - should be better than the audio technica at4040 - - - - akg p420?
for recording a bunch of stuffs like vocals, acoustic guitar, or some percussions that later will be heavily processed, do you think it's really worth it to go with lewitt or the at2020 will work just fine?
