Marantz MPM-1000 XLR Condenser Microphone vs Pod Pack 1 USB Microphone: Review + Sound Test

This is a comparison review between the Marantz MPM-1000 Condenser Microphone and the Marantz Pod Pack 1 USB Microphone. The MPM-1000 is an XLR mic while the Pod Pack 1 is a USB mic. Both are budget mics from Marantz, retailing for about $50 to $70.
This is not a technical review but rather an attempt to deliver an objective showcase of how both microphones sound so you can decide for yourselves which one fits your needs best. I do give my thoughts and recommendation.

This was literally what I was looking for. Nice. I have a Behringer UMC22 already so I'm going for the MPM-1000.

How do I make the pod pack mic sounds that goos on windows? Mine sounds way worse then this through discord and recorded videos

[@RawansReviews]

Hi there. I have done some very basic EQ tweaks; I've simply boosted the low and high frequencies. I use GarageBand on Mac, but any audio editing software should give you that option. Good luck!

@@RawansReviews Thanks! :)

3:11 too much resonance with the voice, with eq it becomes even worse
