After getting this microphone and using it for a week or so I've had consistent feedback and issues regarding how basy my voice sounds. It almost feels as if the bass is washing out all the other sounds and making them muddier, I found the solution to this was using an EQ programme and it worked like a charm. I'm not sure if that's normal for microphones but I would certainly say for acceptable results, just "plug and play" isn't going to help if you're a person with a deeper voice.

Sadly I dropped my e835 one too many times. The Profile seems like a strong mic.

I got mine a couple days ago. I like it -- it's quite a bright mic....I was preparing myself for some muddiness in the mid-high end, but it's crystal clear. My one very small nit to pick is that it needs an on/off switch of some sort. When it's plugged in it's on, and it may be weeks between uses, during which time I think the preamp (and gain knob light) should be shut down. It's not a huge deal to unplug the USB cable from the back of the mic....but somewhat inelegant for something that is so beautifully designed.

Great review! I bought a blue yeti microphone almost a decade ago and it is now finally starting to crap out on me after many years of hard use and a few drops off the desk. I needed a similar setup with headphone monitoring, gain knob, volume knob, and mute button- all features heavily utilized on my blue yeti. I do wish there was a portion of your video demonstrating the sound quality of the mic as if it was positioned on the desk as a standalone mic without the boom arm. The recording distance comparison was helpful, but not exactly what I was looking for, since I'm looking to pretty much have a 1:1 replacement for my yeti which functions as a desk mic without a boom arm.

Hi Tom! Thank you for your video! Because of it I sent back the Rode xdm-100. I liked the rode, sounded great (although I had some random popping sounds, don't know why), but it was just so overkill for me right know. Once I figured I had to shell more money for a sturdy arm because of how heavy it is I figured this is the best choice. I really liked how this sounds (more natural than the Rode xdm-100). I tested a 30$ A.I. plug-in on your portion of the video with the background noise and it completely eliminated it so I don't think I will have a problem with my untreated room.

Great review and your review convinced me to pick one up. I am extremely impressed with the overall quality and output. I also have a RODE Procaster paired with a MOTU M2 audio interface and it works very well but I needed something I could use on my work PC; so nothing that needs software or special drivers. More importantly is the headphone jack has enough oomph to power hungry headphones :). My only hiccup is I wish the section where the microphone mounts could swing side-to-side and not just up and down. I ended up adapting a piece from my RODE microphone that allows me to articulate the microphone at any angle.

I've been looking into USB mics lately to improve the audio quality of my voiceovers in videos for my other channel (though I personally don't think it's bad or anything). There are a few (more like several) that seem good for me, but there's so many options, I couldn't decide. I watched this video, and was like "Okay, this is it! I think this is the one!" And, of course, not available yet. Haha. Doesn't seem to be really anything out there about it aside from this video, either. I don't know if I'm gonna end up waiting for it or not. Hopefully it comes out - and is actually available - relatively soon. Edit: I am leaning towards waiting for it, to be clear. It sounds great (thanks for not doing anything to the signal - and I really like the idea of not needing to mess with EQ or other things). And the rejection of plosives is very impressive. Great video, as well.

I have to admit I come from a bias of preferring an audio interface over a USB microphone, but I felt far less skeptical when I finished watching this video than when I started. I'm curious if you had to do any significant corrections post processing the audio from this recording. I love how there is almost no handling noise, and I love the physical controls! On the rare occasion you may need to adjust the controls during a live broadcast, that would be happening within the frame. Still, if I was to set someone who is new to using an external mic up with this mic, I think they'd feel more comfortable than say with a traditional mic + USB audio interface. Thank you again!

After I listened with earphone.... dryer sound s very clear on the background..... Maybe Sennheiser will also dive into the Dynamic world in next years..... actually I had decided on Deity but after I digged Deity reviews… there are 2 big issues 1 - after restart It needs unplug-plug cycle 2 - delaying on garage band on vocals and monitoring with earphones 😑 Still Couldnt find a dynamic mic 😑

Another great review, Tom...although a cursory search today resulted in no current distributors for this microphone. Is this a pre-production model? It's not even on their website yet.

I was somehow lucky enough to share a “first look” before the mic is released early next year.

I've never been so "on the cutting edge" of something in my life! It'll come out early next year. Sennheiser was super flexible in accommodating my typical update schedule, which is awesome and appreciated.

The audio sounds good 😊 Sounded good in your last podcast also 😊 Would be interesting to know how you would compare it to the Deity VO-7U USB microphone?
@tombuck
Жыл бұрын
I actually donated my VO-7U to someone who was starting a podcast, but I personally prefer the sound of the Profile. In my use, the Deity had a bit more of that compressed "broadcast" sound whereas the Profile is a bit more natural/neutral, which I like.

I had the mic. I want something with a monitoring feature to use while gaming. Unfortunately my IEM’s give a lot of hiss/white noise using the integrated 3.5 connector and my Windows PC causes a ticking sound each second. Such a shame, really wanted to like this.

This microphone sounds like something I need to buy. (Pun totally intended) - do we know when it will be available for purchase? The link in the description doesn't say anything about it.

You really cant go wrong with a Sennheiser. While that's a nice mic. I prefer the sound of the MKH50. The MKH50 also has the advantage of being out of frame while sounding clean and crisp. The USB mic seems to work better being as close as possible to the talent. I can see that when you're closer to the mic the sound is fuller and a little more bass heavy. It seems a little lacking in the high end, but that could be your particular voice and the proximity to the mike. It would be good to put that mic against the Audio Technica AT2020usb-x and do a comparison. Not everyone can afford a 1000 dollar plus Sennheiser, and since you can I would recommend you trying a 700 dollar Audio Technica AT4053b and see how you like it's sound. It would defiantly be a good backup mic for your bag in my opinion. You can always pick one up from amazon and send it back. I love lots of different microphones, but the ATs are generally my go to mic. Nice video by the way. I'm sure a lot of people will choose that mic and be just fine with it doing budget podcast and KZitem videos. Oh... it would be nice to isolate that mic with a shock mount too.

Thoughts on turning it upside down to record acoustic piano? Could the arm handle that? And, is it stereo? Great video!!
@tombuck
Жыл бұрын
The arm should be able to handle that, but I don't have a piano to test for sure. I'll be making a video comparing the sound of the Profile to other mics, and I'll try to include different positionings as well.

What's the gear you used for recording this setup? Your list is overwhelming with options, multiple cameras and stuff. So it would be interesting to know which one you used to record this video, apart from the mic as you made that clear.
@tombuck
Жыл бұрын
It's definitely an overwhelming list, but I do use most of it for each video 😁 My main camera is the Sony FX3 with the Sony 24 1.4 lens. The a7SIII is my B camera with the 50 1.8 lens, and then there's a bevy of different lights all over the place.

Hi there Tom. Great videos. Watched a good few of these deciding which Microphone/Boom Arm to go for and as I’m a big fan of Sennheiser I may well have found it here! I’ve registered interest on their website but I was wondering if there is an actual release date? Thanks in advance
