    Sounds pretty decent for the price. I do prefer the xm8500, and still use mine from time to time even though I have far too many mics (like that's possible).

    An unfortunate step-down little cousin to the sE V2 Switch. To quote the Grinch, "oh, the noise; oh, the noise, noise, noise, noise!"

    While this mic cost less than the SeV2 I'm still disappointed with the handling noise the Xm8500 didn't have that much and i bought that one for 19 dollars before they kept the price at 25 dollars

    Recording guitars with it directly from the speaker of the amp combo (or cabinet) with this mic makes very clear and powerful recorded sounds. Mic must stand still of course but it's very good! In Hungary it's just 14$ ....

    I used to have one of these. They are overall decent in sound just leave it in a stand or something. For the price it does the job but dont expect Austrian Audio or even Samson quality.

    The sound is quite okay... I am not heavily impressed, but I must admit I expected worse. Thanks also for checking this one, as it is quite well priced here too and I thought of purchasing that one a bit ago - I don't think I have a reason now, as it's not rare or anything, and basically it would not do a favor to my nasal voice hearing it on you. Need to remove the listing from my wishlist lol.

    A handheld mic that fails at the handling test is a hard pass in my book. The XM8500 does it before for less! Right there with you Bark!

    Love the Yamaha AG series! I'm currently using AG03 and I love all the physical controls, lots of I/O, and built in DSP! I would've preferred the AG06 but I opted for the lower price. what made you switch to AG06?

    • @ObscureMics
      @ObscureMics  11 місяців тому

      I have always preferred mixers over simple interfaces, and had my eyes on the 1st gen ag06....when the mkii came out, I somehow missed that they added mute switches....that sold me, as I like to do mic comparisons in the form of youtube shorts, and the mute buttons make it a lot easier to accomplish than using two tracks of audio when editing. I am super happy with it so far
