    Certainly an interesting mic. Sounds pretty good! I suppose you didn't do any EQ and thus why the Podmic sounded the way it did, but the sound straight out of the box on this thing is nice and "podcasty." Warm and boomy. I dig it. Maybe a little on the slightly more expensive side I think. Have you gotten to check out the Avermedia Live Streamer Mic 330 and the Fifine k658 dynamics by any chance? Would be cool to see vids on em. The Avermedia needs EQ tho FYI in case you do check it out lol.

    I just purchased the Shure SM7B almost 2 months ago. The new GOXLR MICROPHONE SOUNDS GREAT FOR THAT PRICE! SHURE SM7B HAS MORE CLARITY TO ME. I only paid $350 for the Shure SM7B, but it depends what use you will use each microphone 🎙 for.

      Oh man I am really looking forward to the Beacn reviews. I saw the unboxing of their new stuff that's coming and it looks really promising. Hopefully it's priced reasonably and if their software can compete with the Elgato software then they will have an absolute winner on their hands.

      You need an XLR interface. You won't need the phantom power for a dynamic mic, but XLR cables do not plug into computers naturally. They do make XLR to USB cords/adapters, but they're usually terrible. Plus, you won't have a physical mute button which is important to a lot of people, so a mixer with either a mute or volume knob is ideal, or software mute hotkey.

    Very good looking mic and great sound. I feel like they could've lowered the price by removing the colored rings. Instead just let people choose one when buying said mic, or sell them separately. No one is going to need them all really, so that's pretty much a waste the consumer has to pay for.

      *SM7B sir. And i absolutely recommend you buy an XLR powered desibel booster for it because it's notoriously hard to run out of "cheap" consumer grade preamps. You can't go wrong with an cloudlifter or a fethead. I use the fethead

      @RealGengarTV 2 роки тому

      Other then that, be aware of "the proximity effect" on the mic. If you like the "bass heavy, inn your ear" sound, have it close to your mouth. I try and place mine about an 🤙 away from my mouth

  • @battosaijoe
    @battosaijoe 2 роки тому

    I like this mic, but I wouldn't buy it, because due to the way my setup has to be built currently, I require a shock mount of some kind, otherwise the impact of typing on my keyboard is transferred to the mic arm and thus to the mic. When a shock mount is made for this mic, by TC Helicon or a third party, I'd see about upgrading to it!
