During the entire segment on the AT875R, you said the model name of the mic exactly zero times. Yet you say AT785R several times during the segment on the Azden SGM-3500L. Who writes your scripts?

Hey Mr Younger, have you ever asked yourself the following questions: 1. Does my life, inside this giant virtual social bubble, have any real meaning to me. 2. Is my first thought, when I wake up in the morning, to count how many likes, comments, and subscribers I got. 3. Is there more to life than to be just one more lost soul. I am sure you'll snap out of this illusion at some point in your life.

It’s the best microphone I’ve ever owned. I eventually sold it looking for greener grasses but nope I just bought another 875r.

This good for recording music?

James, great informative video. I'm surprised shotgun mics can deliver depth like that, I guess I've been putting too much emphasis on the form factor. Chunky condensers being the only option for "full sound" etc. I'm actually considering the AT-875R as a replacement for my extremely sensitive and MUCH more expensive tube condenser as I doubt I'll ever be able to provide the room it deserves and demands. I don't care if the AT-875R is intended as a boom mic in video production, if it sounds good on voice and isolates voice it's a winner to me🏆

My daughter and I use a Sennheiser MKH416 and our clients love the recordings

My daughter and I use a Sennheiser MKH 416 for VO and my client love my recordings

I ended up going with the Sennheiser Profile.

Those plosives sounds like a terrible show stopper if your using it for VO purposes😲

Great channel, thanks for sharing your knowledge 👍

Dose it matter how loud u set ur mic pre Amp?

you will be the only one that says the audio is altered cause if you can under stand a vocal use it regardless

These litrually are a great improvement to un treated rooms Lexnour uses this and he gets great audio

I actually sold my shit didn’t like it at all

U sound a bit like the sewer king

Or you can double them up and get your 4 inch foam for cheaper

Against the Neumann u87, there is only the slightest difference in transients. The T2 is one hell of a mic.

Such great information!! TY so much. I am returning to voice-over work after being off for a few years and considering upgrading my mic soon. I began recording with a Blue Yeti condenser mic in 2019 with a pop screen and propped-up pillows surrounding my desk work area to muffle out white noise. Would like to eventually build a desk-height whisper area. My Yeti served me quite well with continual work for nearly 3 years!! This time I plan to work P/T and just considering my options. TY for any advice on upgrading. Patti :)

I listen to a lot of BBC radio. It all has a peak level of -6db. That is good enough for me.

Hey James, great video! Is this mic only for recording or could you use it for performance if you wanted to use one mic to catch both guitar and vocals? Thanks !

The X1S is insane value for money. A nice flat frequency response with a pleasant silky high end, and a full low end that's not muddy or boomy. It has no business sounding this good at this price point. If you're a new streamer then just buy this and you'll never need to upgrade.

Id be curious about a breakdown on shotgun mics - like you say everyone emulates the 416, so a "why is the 416 king? Why do others fall short? Wired vs XLR? Comica vs AT vs Sennheiser?" Etc

I’m a little surprised you didn’t include super/hyper cardioid small diaphragm condenser. Pretty common for soundstage productions.

Hmmm, so how far to you get with $200 to acoustically treat your space? How much did you spend? 1000s I presume.

Hi there I'm a classical singer, who's going to sing som jazz standards with a microphone. Normally as classical singers, we are taught to use as strong konsonants as possible, because people need to hear them when there's no microphone. But now that I'm going to sing with a microphone... Man there's a lot of popping sounds. It's going to be live, so I will probably be singing into a shure sm58 or something (dynamic mic), but when I search RUclips for mic techniques I haven't found anyone discussing how to avoid the popping sounds. I'm constantly being told to hold the microphone right in front of the mouth, maybe going a bit away if I'm changing the volume a lot, but always "have the microphone right in front of your mouth". I know you are talking about condenser or shotgun mic's, but can holding a dynamic mic at your chin, a few inches away also work, or do you think the sound engineer will be pissed?

James: I heard every word you said. Excellent review and very helpful with starting out!

Such a great mic! Great video, thank you!

The ball is better. Smoother. High ends are too present. That is only good for voices on electronic genres.

The 416 is The One.

Hold on, WAIT UP! You are going to tell me that all these years I have been playing loud music for my neighbours was wrong thing to do?! I can't accept that. So much time and effort spent for them to hear AC/DC and you are going to tell me they don't like it? Nah bro. Just kidding ofc :D Love the video man. Very much informative and spot on. I also love the way you seamlessly implemented the sounds from each microphone while speaking about them. I wanted to find a good mic since I want to start my YT channel. These are a bit too expensive for me so I will have to find cheaper ones but I am not at least armed with knowledge to choose properly. Kudos to you.

Brilliant!! 😂👻

❤❤❤

great video bro.🌹 are kali's speakers V2 good for vocal recording and mixing in a home studio ?🙂 Or do you prefer other speakers for this purpose like Adam audio t7v. jbl 306p mkii. presouns eris 7xt and krk rokit 7 I'm confused with the choice 🤔 please help me. 😊

OMG - 20+ years recording audio and immediately noticed your sibilence destroyed. I had to research this "device" after having stumbled upon an ad and being flabbergasted by its price - great idea for a moneygrab, imo, and not much else. Thank you for having saved me time as I'm satisfied with your take. Kudos.

I was almost sold on the LP-UNF's but man those LP-6's sure put them in their place. The LP-6's are only £50 more as well. Downside of course is they require a lot more desk space, which I don't have. Decisions decisions!

He is right it took all the clarity of the mic away and it actually added more noise as well

Great interview!

I own the TLM 103, the Sennheiser 416, and just got the Mojave 201FET and the Lauten Audio Clarion. Both are just awesome. Try them!!

Damn, it sounds great! Had I known of this mic, I might have not picked up my AT2020, its pretty close in price

Nicely done sir

Great review! Did you record that intro song? It sounds awesome! Also, watch out for THE GOVERNMENT 2:13 😂 The mic has nice built in features for sure 👍

Check your thumbnail…

A couple of mics to put on your radar, one VO pro to another. First, the United Studio Technologies Twin87, an 87ai style mic that delivers. I use it when I want to deliver my "NPR" voice 😊 Is it "as good"? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Not one of my clients has complained. For the second, Earthworks' ETHOS. I picked it up primarily for my own livestreaming and podcast activities, but that small diaphragm mic has become my promo workhorse. Who knew? Plus, it DOES look sharp on camera 😁

I just picked up a T2 thanks to your recommendation. However I noticed mine has a black SE label as opposed to yours with a Red one. Does it come in a different color or did I end up grabbing an earlier model? I wonder if there’s a difference.

I used the Amazon foam to decorate. It sucks for actual treatment.

Do you feel the mids are kinda muddy? How do you feel this will pair with rap vocals?

Thanks for the review. I will probably be picking one up.

Hate to say, I was one who was fooled by the foam 😭
