I have recently started podcasting and researched a lot about these mics and all patterns. This video clearly helps someone who is confused because there are tons of videos to choose from. Thanks! AKG LYRA is my new big investment. :)
The more time I spend looking at mics the more I fall in love with this channel! At this point in time. it would be easier for him to list the mics he hasn't reviewed. Combined with the fact he is the best reviewer of mics for musicians by a golden mile. As we would say in Ireland..... "Keep 'er lit lad!"
This guy is one of the best music gear reviewers I have seen on UA-cam, He is funny, smart and very informative, all at once. Really looking for a USB mic. My boy really seems to favor a single polar pattern model over multiple pattern USB mics. That being said, I want to use my USB mic for both Google Meet calls and as a convenient studio mic that I can hopefully use for vocals and acoustic guitar and usable in a finished pro mix (not just a demo). Budget up to $200.00. May or may not be feasible as a real audio production mic. Have heard a lot of good comments on the Rode NT-USB. Anyway, Podcastage what are your thoughts on best cardiod USB? Thanks in advance.
Sorry to be offtopic but does any of you know a method to log back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid lost my login password. I appreciate any tips you can give me!
@Gatlin Thatcher thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and im in the hacking process atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I love the humour and timing you bring to these videos (also your deadpan expression at times - just after throwing the box). Keep up the great work. :)
I'm really grateful for your review. It was very helpful. Thank you so much and keep up the good work! Side note: I enjoyed your humor, it was a nice touch and with the right timing
Love how you edit the music parts together and your reviews are much more in depth. Best audio review channel on UA-cam. The mic looks great shame its not more quality built.
I've been browsing your mic review videos for the last 2 days searching for the perfect under budget usb condenser mic and I've finally settled for this one. I've come across many other mics like the Blue Yeti ,Audio Technica Atr2500, Blue snowball ice and many more but they're not available in my country due to their relatively low demand ( although Blue Yeti nano is within the same price range but much better than AKG Lyra 🤷🏽♂️ but only the latter is available). However I'm happy with what I got and I'm glad I had your videos to help me decide. Among other reviews, I've found yours to be the most informative . So I thank you for all the help and guidance 😁
Oh man... I can feel the apathy through my headphones, I can see it reaching out to me through the screen. Just the complete levels of "I can't even" coming from you Bandrew when talking about multi-polar-pattern USB mics made my chest hurt. I feel you, man.
Just please can anyone do something different here. The Antelope Edge Go is $1250, but at least it’s something new, and that makes it exciting and cool, even though it’s appeal is limited by the pricing of it.
@@Podcastage What I don't get is that 90% of the people who buy them will never use more than the cardioid polar pattern, because it's going to go on a Neewer or Rode boom and be attached to their desk. So, who do these mic companies think they're making these for? I mean, I'm an anomaly, and I carry my Rode NT-USB with me, but honestly. If you're stationary, get a Blue, a Rode, or a Shure and call it done.
@@Podcastage Captain far too late here- As someone in the market for usb mic doing the pros and cons. The Seiren X v2 tried to do one big capsule at 24mm with a single pickup pattern. Essentially most of what you asked for a company to focus on. It inaccurately portrays a lot of the lows and highs that the multiple smaller capsules are capable of picking up- your review of it VS this has me leaning heavily towards the AKG. Also- keep up the good work mate, it is all very well done.
Listen, I just got this mic for a whopping $68 bucks at guitar center because the blue yeti I ordered before was defective and this AKG was the only usb mic they had.. I’m thoroughly satisfied up to this point… love the review, as always..
I clicked on this video not because I want or even care about this microphone, but because our dearest host, Bandrew is, as the kids would say, “epic”.
Can we stop for a second and acknowledge the amount of effort that went into this video. a) always enjoyed your videos b) the best reviews on the net 3) those quick songs at the end is always such a nice cherry on the cake)
Thanks for this! I was waiting for your review before deciding to buy, and I'm glad I waited. I share your boredom with the "Yeti-clone" multi-pattern mics but, as a Windows user, I'm always interested in a USB mic with a gain control (that is NOT a Yeti), and the fact is, nearly all of those with a gain knob are the multi-polar-pattern ones. In this case, there seems to be plenty of gain but it's too noisy to be much help. The tone isn't bad (beats the Yeti there), and the mounting system for getting it off the dang desktop looks good. On balance, I think no sale.
I listened to the review after i picked up the mic on amazon for $40 less the the price at review. I found this review to be both fair and entertaining. Personally I’m not sure I expect the knobs to not be plasticky at this price otherwise review is great. Thanks!!
When did the Star Wars franchise get into designing mics? That was a great job of reviewing this mic. It struck me that in the right creative engineer's ears, this mic could be interesting as you've mentioned. Thanks.
How did you mount it to the mic stand? Does the thumbscrew need a special key or something? This is my first usb mic and I was expecting it'd be easy to mount like xlr mics but it's super solid and I don't seem to have the proper tools 😭
**UPDATED 6/17/20**: Ask and ye shall receive! :) RIGHT after I posted the below, I found his link to his fave USB Mics... whoop! Whoop! podcastage.com/rev/favusb Oh my Bandrew.... PLEASE... point me to a video you've done of your top 10 or top 5 mics... I've watched at least three dozen of these vids and while I adore you as our friendly, neighborhood host, very few of the mics you review seem to cut muster for ya'. I want to know your particular USB Mic faves... (I know, I know... if there's such a thing! :-D
Compared to the usb mics of a decade ago this is amazing. Put UAD's LA-2A with a little eq, slap a reverb bus on it and I think you'd be good to go. Had an old MXL USB and it had more noise than Seattle in the 90s.
I listened to this, your Blue Yeti and Blue Snowball reviews (snowball is what I have and want to upgrade from) and I actually really like how this sounds compared to the Yeti review video. The build quality sounds disappointing, but I guess the plastic keeps the price down? Maybe? Thanks for doing this, really like your review style.
Hey! Would you recommend this over AT 2500 or Blue yeti? I ordered this one but am now confused as you said it has a little sharp and tiny voice which is prone to sibilance. (Unlike the AT) Also, won't using 4 smaller capsules instead of 1 big cartoid one means you're loosing quality? Especially if you don't intend to use it in other modes. Please help me out here. Since you've bought one yourself, are you happy with the sound output and your decision?
Hi bro. Between AKG Lyra and Hyperx Quadcast, which one is better in sound quality and background noise cancellation? And any specific type of pop filter suitable for AKG Lyra?
Hi @Podcastage, When you say there is no mix-dial between 0 latency monitoring and computer playback? what does that exactly mean? generally we try to record singing with karaoke, we generally hear the computer sound as well as our singing also right? Could you pls clarify...This would help me in making a final decision to buy a usb based condenser mic..
Well, one year passed, and that answer might be unactual but anyways: Mix-dial between 0 latency monitoring and computer playback means that in first case (0 latency monitoring) you can isolate your voice only without hearing computer playback (music, games, cinema) in another case (computer playback) -- you can hear only media from computer without your voice you're recording.
Great review as usual Bandrew. What I'd like to know is what component parts that make up the inside of a microphone are different between mics? I mean what really makes one mic sound better than another? Are the internal workings of a mic really that different & if so how? Just curious.
Hey podcastage do you have a bundle you recommend like an amazon buy list or something that’s put together well for a first time streamer with a low budget?
I like the comment from Parker and Bear. Can your gift guide for 2019 please be based on microphone shapes, so that people can find the right mic to match their aesthetic
Gives a paw up for good video materials! And I am asking for advice which USB mic records the sound with the most natural sonic possible (without crackling in the upper band)? Destiny - female vocal - Coloratura soprano (AKG Lyra, Beyerdynamic Fox, other suggestions)
Will you do a review on Sontronics STC-20, STC-2, or STC-3X? I've only seen a few videos on it including a VA channel and i'm curious of what you would think of the mic.

It's interesting that Bandrew brings up their questionable marketing language on some of their boxes. In another AKG video one of their reps compares their mylar diaphragm material to a competitor to show how quiet theirs is. They take out a crumpled piece of mylar which is supposed to be from their competitor and crinkle it around to show how loud and crinkly it is, then take out a nice smooth piece of mylar which is supposed to be theirs and wave it gently in the air and proclaim that their mylar is much quieter.
Hey Bandrew love Podcastage and Bandrew Says, but I gotta question what beanie are you wearing looks fresh! Would like to purchase it(not yours just one like that) thanks man
Thank you for your review! I am planning to use Lyra with my iPhone. Can I use an ordinary Type-C to Lightening cable? Or a special cable such as Appple camera kit required?
Can you help me? I just bought this mic. Plug it in my PC and i have such loud noise in headphones. What can it be? I can update firmware of mic? Maybe it helps... Idk what to do
I don't know what would cause that. It has been 3 years since I've reviewed this and I did not have any loud noise in my headphones. Here's how I would troubleshoot. First watch the features walk through at this timestamp: ua-cam.com/video/2OtVITYjXlA/v-deo.html 0) Make sure the headphones are plugged in all the way? 1) I would start by turning the headphone volume down to make sure the volume is not at 100%. Does that improve it? 2) Turn down the microphone gain dial on the rear of the mic, does that improve it? 3) Try the microphone mute button on the front, does that improve it? 4) I'd try a different USB output. Does that fix it? 5) I'd try a different computer to see if the other compute has the same issue. Does that fix it? 6) Verify you're not routing any loud computer playback through the AKG Lyra headphone jack. If none of that fixes it or addresses it, I'm at a loss because I have a really hard time troubleshooting an issue I haven't encountered. I'd contact AKG and ask for further assistance because I've got no other suggestion.
WOW, it seams like a grate mic. Sound and stereo option are great in this price. Tbh I consider enclosure to be biggest con. Plastic is not a problem for me, but the resonance of any sound (tapping, keyboard banging) is way to big. On the other hand, its sound way better than Blue Yeti imo.
hello Sir, i bought this microhphone after watching your video, can you please guide me, it catches lots of outside sounds which makes it difficult to record my vocals and guitar without a well treated soundproof room, please give any alternative?

Came for the Mic check, stayed for the music test.
That electric guitar solo makes me want to start a 1990s tv show about teen issues in California.

Not gonna lie this sounds actually nice on acoustic guitar, to my ears at least. Not a bad mic overall, these wibbly wobbly dials though, yikes!
Just ordered one of these, my first mic. Yeti was slightly out of budget
Can you actually hear audio from PC via headphones jack? or only zero-latency? Can you turn off zero-latency?
Ah "and the button has a nice tactile click to it", glad to know the build quality is exceptional
Hi bro. Between AKG Lyra and Hyperx Quadcast, which one is better in sound quality and background noise cancellation? And any specific type of pop filter suitable for AKG Lyra?

Hello. Considering Blue Yeti and AKG Lyra, which is better at producing sound?
I didn't know a review could be so good
Super thorough and informative review!
Which usb audio card (cheap one) support 3.5mm jack line in audio from devices like mobile or iPod etc waiting for your answer...:-)
great review - appreciate the thoroughness
You're a great entertainer. Also a top reviewer. Thank you from Germany....
That really means a lot. Thank you so much for the kind words.
amazing in-depth review. thanks a lot!
A very thorough and helpful review.
Haven't even watched the video yet, but that is a pretty microphone. I suspect it's not gonna have the best personality though.
Thx from Brazil!!!! Amazing review
This is why you are the GOAT of mic reviews! Do you think the AKG Lyra is better than the Yeti X for ASMR?
Great review as usual Bandrew. What I'd like to know is what component parts that make up the inside of a microphone are different between mics? I mean what really makes one mic sound better than another? Are the internal workings of a mic really that different & if so how? Just curious.
i can't stop now. thanks. i became one of those audio junkies you hear of
Does this mic need a pop filter ? Beautiful microphone
Hey podcastage do you have a bundle you recommend like an amazon buy list or something that’s put together well for a first time streamer with a low budget?
Nice review! I'd love to know how these stack up against the Rode NT-USB.
Same nt usb mini
Me too. Please compare them, of of anyone knows the difference, please tell here.
You have such a great life. You get free microphones
I buy almost everything I review.
I like the comment from Parker and Bear. Can your gift guide for 2019 please be based on microphone shapes, so that people can find the right mic to match their aesthetic
Not for the first time, the video is 1000x better than the product. Great demo.
You’re amazing thank you so much for the precision and the fun
man, what a high quality review! insta-sub.
very, very good soundtest! great job!
How were you able to remove the stand screw? its so hard.
Was the noise floor done in the amp box? If so, that's LOUD!
Gives a paw up for good video materials!
And I am asking for advice which USB mic records the sound with the most natural sonic possible (without crackling in the upper band)?
Destiny - female vocal - Coloratura soprano (AKG Lyra, Beyerdynamic Fox, other suggestions)
great video drew!
As a newbie to recording, I appreciate these informative reviews. Which USB mics have gain control and a level (clipping) indicator onboard?
Dude, best review!
Will you do a review on Sontronics STC-20, STC-2, or STC-3X? I've only seen a few videos on it including a VA channel and i'm curious of what you would think of the mic.
Best Review Possible for people who know things.
11/10 throw would watch again.
How do you compare this with Blue Yeti. which one is better?
Wonderful Review! Wait it is not only a review it is entertainment! Dankeschön!
Carina C. Kircher my pleasure. Happy to know it was able to help shed some light on the microphone as well as entertain. I appreciate the kind words.
@@Podcastage Thanks. I am new to audio.

I have neither of these devices and plan to start a podcast/vlog. Occasionally I make little films with 2 sources of audio: Lav mic and boom mic. I got the Rode VMP+ and RodeSmartLav+ so far.
So rather buy a usb mic and Recorder? Or is there a recorder that works for both tasks?
Hope this is not a too stupid newbies question? Is so please don't bother!
Akg lyra vs blue yeti x which one is best for asmr videos.
Is it good for saxophones or others instruments?
It's interesting that Bandrew brings up their questionable marketing language on some of their boxes. In another AKG video one of their reps compares their mylar diaphragm material to a competitor to show how quiet theirs is. They take out a crumpled piece of mylar which is supposed to be from their competitor and crinkle it around to show how loud and crinkly it is, then take out a nice smooth piece of mylar which is supposed to be theirs and wave it gently in the air and proclaim that their mylar is much quieter.
brilliant reviewer...man is a legend
Omg I want to bring him home …he’s hysterical….yet no nonsense….
This or the G Track pro for musicians? :) (violin specifically)
Can I plug multiple AKG Lyra into 1 computer?
Can i plug it straight to some iPad Pro 2020 via USB-C without any adapter or USB Hub Magic?
Hey Bandrew love Podcastage and Bandrew Says, but I gotta question what beanie are you wearing looks fresh! Would like to purchase it(not yours just one like that) thanks man

Can you help me? I just bought this mic. Plug it in my PC and i have such loud noise in headphones. What can it be? I can update firmware of mic? Maybe it helps... Idk what to do
I don't know what would cause that. It has been 3 years since I've reviewed this and I did not have any loud noise in my headphones.
Here's how I would troubleshoot. First watch the features walk through at this timestamp: ua-cam.com/video/2OtVITYjXlA/v-deo.html
0) Make sure the headphones are plugged in all the way?
1) I would start by turning the headphone volume down to make sure the volume is not at 100%. Does that improve it?

WOW, it seams like a grate mic. Sound and stereo option are great in this price. Tbh I consider enclosure to be biggest con. Plastic is not a problem for me, but the resonance of any sound (tapping, keyboard banging) is way to big. On the other hand, its sound way better than Blue Yeti imo.
Hello,
I would like to buy a good USB microphone for dry vocals(singing). Between AT2020USB+, AKG Lyra and Rode NT USB..which one do you recommend?
Is it work for asmr? How about noise between AKG Lyra and Blue yeti?
Thank you
Thanks from Brazil!!! 👏👏👏👏
Any chance that's an Ableton registration sticker?
Does this mic offer playback with monitoring if I am recording on a backing track?
hello Sir, i bought this microhphone after watching your video, can you please guide me, it catches lots of outside sounds which makes it difficult to record my vocals and guitar without a well treated soundproof room, please give any alternative?
Blue yeti Vs akg Lyra who is best please tell me sir
Another great review. Clearly, they should be charging much more, this thing has WIDE stereo.
I like the tight stereo. The front back sounded cool though.
whoaa this sounds really good
i love your unboxing... was really funny 😃
The AKG single-capsule cardiod mic is called the P120 in the USB variant. Now discontinued :-( Great review, though!
