Awesome video. After trying a handful of mics for the past couple of years, I've been so satisfied with the Blue ember that I stopped buying other mics. I was super curious about the Shure PGA though but there just wasn't enough clear testing available to listen to.

This was such a well done, helpful video. It earned you a new subscriber, which worries me because I really don't need to watch more videos on audio gear. I'm really happy with my Neat King Bee II and Worker Bee II mics for my podcasts, so it was cool to see the Worker Bee II featured here.

I do wonder how a t.bone mic would have fared in this test? 🤔 I did extensive research about 2 years ago, with one of the competitors being the popular AT2020, but I finally settled on the t.bone SC400. It's cheaper, but seemed to provide similar/good quality on the sparse tests I could find 💁♂ But I wanted a vocal, not just voiceover mic. The newer BC500 seems to be good too and it's spesifically designed for broadcasts.

I love the video, I've watched it three times now. Back in 2020 there was a lot of misinformation going around and a lot of people recommended the Blue Yeti which I've found to be impossible to work with. I suffer from the dreaded sibilant S, but I also have a very deep voice so I'm torn between the Shure, AT2020, and the Ember but I'm gun shy on the Ember just thinking about all that background noise and self noise I got with the Yeti.

GREAT VIDEO!!!! You know I could of helped you with the plosives (LOL), I make all sorts of mouth sounds to include the rascally plosive. I am a podcaster/KZitemr and I have 2 mics (Shure SM7B and the black RE20) and they have worked so far in my VO training. Even though I am still green, this was a very informative video on the different styles, types, etc.. of mics used for various VO work. My voice timbre is a little on the higher end so I appreciate the Shure SM7B; I do use 2 pop filters (LOL) because you can never have enough pop filters! As usual, a fantastic video sir!

I feel like the best under 100 dollar deal of all time was the Neat worker bee 1. It has a really nice presence boost that added air and detail to voices and instruments like acoustic guitar without it becoming harsh and when it was on clearance you basically got a 200 dollar mic for only 90 dollars. I feel like you would definitely like this mic over the worker bee 2 and you can get them used for around 60 dollars now and it's VASTLY superior sounding than the second iteration.

Congrats on an awesomely thorough and *reasonably* scientific comparison. Can you please elaborate on why the MXL was out straight up? To me in the *secret* vid it's between the Shure and the MXL. Both have the kind of sheen and "pixie dust" that are usually added in post for VO on a flatter mic, the Shure's is just a little more brittle.
@creatorsvillage
2 жыл бұрын
When I was listening back, to me the MXL sounded bitey in the high end. I think what you hear as sheen, I heard more like gritty. I could also hear the self noise, which put me off. But that's just me. But I agree, the Shure to me is right on the cusp of being too harsh. But it cuts nicely in a mix. Thanks for the comment!

Finally someone that talks about SHURE products. The PGA181 sounds great!!! although it has a base noise noticeably high, compared to the other mics you compared it with. But anyway, it is a robust mic, and also quality on their construction materials. I don't know how other brands have taken over the advantage Shure had, due to it is a brand with a lot of time doing microphones for broadcasting radio and TV. You could try the PGA27 also, the mic is very good and it has a very good quality comparable with other products from familles more up on the brand. Good video!!! Also forgot to tell you that the mic AT2040 sounds great despite it is a dynamic mic. Could you do a comparison between this AT2040 and the ZOOM ZDM-1? Thanks!!!

Very helpful video. It's good to see testing of the low(er) end products and not just the super expensive very high end equipment. Not many of us have that reach nor need for such extravagence, so thank you. At the moment I don't have an XLR setup and I'd be interested in your thoughts/opinions of an XLR to USB cable? Does using an adaptor cable have much of an effect on the sound quality? Cheers and thanks again for the video.

You know, I don't have a lot of experience with adaptor cables, but I can tell you that you'll need 48v phantom power if you're planning on using a condenser mic. I don't think the adaptor cables can provide that. Thanks for watching!

AT2020 is the best mic for his price, but most important thing is this: AT2020 frequency response is almoust exactly what you need to put voice over in the mix. He sounds "shitty" - in the right way. Let me explain - when you record your VO on high end mic - your sound is beautiful, with rich highs and lows, transparent mids etc, BUT - you dont get sound "in the mix" straight out of the box. I mean, u need to hear the voice, exactly from your screen, right from the set where movie was created, or "in the place" when your game character is. And AT2020 is sounds exactly that way. Im not talking about reverberation, im talkling about frequensy response. Usually, u need to do this by urself - screw up ur recording with eq (cutting lows, cutting highs, balance mids etc), with AT2020 - u almoust dont need to do that, only slight cut on highs and low end and u good to go! With u87 and tlm103, when you recording dub from 50 santimeters away - u usually dont need to do much eq for voice neither. I hope you all get the point. Dont get me wrong - AT2020 is kinda "meh" mic for singing, and kinda "meh" mic for instruments (only on hi-hat he is ok), but on the voice - he is THE KING. And one more thing for you to know, AT2020 is using ELECTRET CAPSULE, u almoust dont see that in the niche of condenser microphones. That exatle why he sound as "shitty", as real VO from set is.
