Love your show, man. Great review. I'm likely going to start adding some podcast style episodes to my channel to change it up the format. You've been helping me a lot in your equipment reviews but also by your example in how you do your stuff. Also, I'm a musician from back in the day (I'm 46 now and teach college) and I really appreciate your talent as well. Keep rockin.
Hey man! That's awesome news! I think you'll have a lot of fun podcasting! Great decision, and I also suggest checking out ThePodcastForum.com for super in depth advice from other podcasters!
Thank you so much for this review! As a very baby audio recorder, this was really helpful. I got my 1000u by chance second hand and I keep coming across reviewers saying it is not the best for voiceover (the work I am trying to learn 😰)but your review definitely helped me feel a little more confident and gave me some ideas to try and make my recordings better. You`re the best!
"25%, 50%, I think you're such a special person and you've never done anything wrong, i just want to tickle your ear drums with my soft voice" .... ewwwwwww
I had the Mpm 1000 with xlr, I can certainly recommend it. It was sturdy and never broke, I used it for a year, for both streaming and playing with my band. In the end I sold it for an SM7B...
Podcastage as far as I remember, the MPM3000 is quite expensive, but it would make for a nice review to see what they can offer, in a higher price range.
Slightly unrelated but I just wanted to thank you and tell you I ended up getting an AT2035 and a Behringer umc204HD after watching a bunch of your videos and I'm super happy with the results, it's way better than the usb mic solution I had before. Thanks for all the time you put into your videos and reviews!
Hi! really love your videos! One question, between Pod Pack 1 and Marantz Professional MPM-1000U, Which one would you recommend???? thank you so much :D
Hello, man! What a perfect review of the cool microphone I've just seen!😃 Dude, I'm tryna choose the microphone at the current and still can't decide which is better... So, can you recommend me microphone that is exactly like this badass but with included Bluetooth connection?🥺 I hope you'll read this message asap!
This seems to be the same mic Universal Audio includes with their Volt studio packs in 2022, but then in the XLR version, needing phantom power. It's perfectly fine for me...
Wait, I thought you were doing a goofy voice for a minute, but that's your real voice. Wow you've really worked to get rid of your drawl. And great job because I can't detect it at all anymore. Actually I'm not sure why but I assumed you were Canadian.
Hi, great review. I don't know much about mics, if I buy this one, will I need to buy anything else for it to work properly or can I just connect it to my laptop and start using it?
Figures I recommend one that craps itself with no customer support... Glad it performed well. What was your purchase price on the second unit? Did you manage to get the first when it was like $11?
David Ploss yeah. Picked up the first one for $11. So it wasn't even worth the hassle to return. I jumped through all their customer service hoops too. Including the proof of purchase all sorts of information. Still nothing. Pretty shitty in my opinion.
You said that you dont recommend this for podcasters and such, do you have any mic recommendations for a streamer? (as little keyboard sound as possible) Been looking at the Blue Yeti but it feels like overkill. Looking around the $50-$120 range. It's a jungle out there and thanks for clearing it up a bit! Love your work! :)
Nice video as always! Could you give a brief comment on its sound vs the NW-700's sound? I guess the latter does pick up less background noise, doesn't it? Take care! :)
Hey! Nice mic! I asked you in a previous video in the pod pack 1 if it was worth it for 64 euros and you told me to see the price of this. Seems nice! It costs 74 here in Greece without boom. Is it worth it?
I think the podpack1 would probably be the better option for the price since you get very similar audio quality and everything you need to start (except for a shockmount and windscreen).
Do you still think its good for someone who wants to get into podcasting on the side, but has to mainly use it for school stuff (instrumental and vocal sometimes)? Is there a better microphone for that kind of situation around the same price range?
What kind of switches do you have on your mechanical keyboard? I think it would be really helpful to say what type of switches you have in your videos.
hiii please please compare nw700 and samson co1upro. . They are the best budget options of xlr and usb condenser microphones. Will be helpful for many. I have co1u pro im thinking of buying nw700 with an audio interface for better quality. Pls help me out
What would you recommend Marantz Pro MPM1000U or the IK I rig multimedia microphone? I want it for recording songs I have used the ik microphone and think it sounds good but wanted to try something else maybe a bit better for the same sort of price
ok i dont speak english and you speak hell of fast, so here´s my question ¿How does this thing do it with a classical guitar? or wich one in this price range would you recomend me to record me playing classical guitar?
I am starting youtuber. And was looking into USB microphones. I was looking into the rode nt usb or the blue yeti. Can you tell me which one to buy. Or perhaps make a comparison video. Or if you have any other recommendations.
Just a question please. Is it ok to have the mic mounted with this clip that comes with it, but turn it to the side so it's sideways? Is possible it could break?
I was one sentence away to buy this mic : my first sample broke and customer service didn't reply in a month. F that. Thanx for the cool review though !
Hi, good advice video, have a question, I bought this mic to plug directly into my laptop which works fine but recently have purchased a Focusrite 2i2 audio interface and want to run it through it, there is no usb input on the focusrite but seems you can buy a cable with a jack that will allow this to be used, as there is panthom power already in the mic is it safe to plug it into the focusrite and if so should I enable the Panthom power on the focusrite, Thanks in advance for your help
Podcastage welp lets go with the Most simple and you can use it everywhere it sounds Good 2 ty ma frend its definitly Samson meteor samson product is The best in my opinion
I am already using a Marantz pod pack 1 and now I need a second microphone around 70 euros, is there any possibility that Marantz Pro MPM-1000u series has defective products cause you said that your first one died??? Thank you!
I am aware that there is always a chance you get a faulty product, but I thought your situation was more like a disclaimer-warning and not just a simple fact. Thank you anyway for responding!
Hey do you think you could do a video on how to use two microphones in GarageBand while using a usb hub? I'm trying to pod with two microphones using a usb hub in GarageBand but I can't seem to get both pics to work. I have no problem when both are plugged directly into my computer but when I use the usb hub, it won't work. Do you think you could help?
hi. how near shall I sit from a webcam.? I'm using a Logitech c525 webcam..I using it's mic for my voice over for my gaming channel.. should I get the mic to 100%?
For professional voice overs, it may not be up to snuff because clients can have very stringent spec requirements for the final recordings. For recording for a personal RUclips channel or something, if your budget maxes out around the $50, I think it'd be fine.
Bad news, the mpm-1000u after 5 month has started today to make a really high background noise and make my voice really low... it's time to change mic again rip
I have a question that's not relevant to this video. Figure I'd post it on this video. I have a Behringer Xenyx 502 mixer and a Behringer C1 condenser microphone. Is it safe to plug the microphone into the mixer with a phantom power supply? Looking at your review the mic requires 48V.
Hi Bandrew, hey, I have a question ... I bought the Bm 800 and I don't like the shock mount included with it, I want to buy a shock mount like the samson microphone stand, but it's compatible with the bm 800?
Yeah, I want to know if SP01 Shock mount works with the bm 800 www.amazon.com/Samson-Technologies-SP01-Spider-Shockmount/dp/B000LQLDM2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1491496242&sr=8-1&keywords=samson+shock+mount
Can anyone tell me how well this mic handles ambience? I need it to excel at picking up ambience because I won't be using it to speak in to but I won't be recording with it, just listening. Your feedback would be appreciated. Thanks. :)
Streamers and podcasters who don't afford a Shure SM7B get a cardioid condenser... Blue Yeti, AT2020, Rode NT etc. I guess there aren't that many good dynamics on the cheap.
2:32 Ok and I imagine most people have got an insulated bedroom! Carpet and foam all over, right! Truth is, that mic would sound take any fly fart on a regular basis!
So glad I watched this. The mic sounds terrible 😢 I'm struggling to find something good. I miss big music stores existing so I could test stuff like this in person D:
Why does the mic always end up at the same volume level on a different gain on windows v. mac? like 56% on the mac sounds the same as 88% on the pc, why?
Love your show, man. Great review. I'm likely going to start adding some podcast style episodes to my channel to change it up the format. You've been helping me a lot in your equipment reviews but also by your example in how you do your stuff.

Hey man! That's awesome news! I think you'll have a lot of fun podcasting! Great decision, and I also suggest checking out ThePodcastForum.com for super in depth advice from other podcasters!
I have the XLR Version. It sounds awesome and the recordings are easy to handle in post processing.
Thank you so much for this review! As a very baby audio recorder, this was really helpful. I got my 1000u by chance second hand and I keep coming across reviewers saying it is not the best for voiceover (the work I am trying to learn 😰)but your review definitely helped me feel a little more confident and gave me some ideas to try and make my recordings better. You`re the best!
Best of luck on the voice over work!
i like how every mic test has a 0 to ASMR gain test ^^
"25%, 50%, I think you're such a special person and you've never done anything wrong, i just want to tickle your ear drums with my soft voice" .... ewwwwwww
hey you should add that to the tags xD im sure those youtubers would love to know which mic is the worst offender in their line of work xD
Ho visto 4 recensioni di microfoni diversi fatti da te. Hai avuto la capacità di rendere il suono di ogni microfono piatto ed identico !
I had the Mpm 1000 with xlr, I can certainly recommend it. It was sturdy and never broke, I used it for a year, for both streaming and playing with my band. In the end I sold it for an SM7B...
One day I'll get to the MPM1000, 2000, and 3000 xlr mics.
Podcastage as far as I remember, the MPM3000 is quite expensive, but it would make for a nice review to see what they can offer, in a higher price range.
Perhaps comparing it to a similarly priced mic...
I think it's still sub $200.
Podcastage 222 euros on Thomann.de
Slightly unrelated but I just wanted to thank you and tell you I ended up getting an AT2035 and a Behringer umc204HD after watching a bunch of your videos and I'm super happy with the results, it's way better than the usb mic solution I had before.
Thanks for all the time you put into your videos and reviews!
Super happy to hear that man!
welcome to the XLR master race xD may your inputgain high and the hisses low hahaha
FNRL Music I love this so much! Hahaha.
You have a fantastic singing voice! Also thanks for the info!
Hi! really love your videos! One question, between Pod Pack 1 and Marantz Professional MPM-1000U, Which one would you recommend???? thank you so much :D
Thanks a lot for this review, will you recommend this mic for youtube videos
Feel so good to be the first viewer!
Nice videos Bandrew!
You deserve more subscribers:)
Good job man.
Ur merch is so much cheaper than typical merch. I’m definitely gonna get some
Thank you a lot for good review !
R2!!!! Bleep Bloop Chip Chirp.
Dude, that song rocked! :D
Hello, man! What a perfect review of the cool microphone I've just seen!😃 Dude, I'm tryna choose the microphone at the current and still can't decide which is better... So, can you recommend me microphone that is exactly like this badass but with included Bluetooth connection?🥺 I hope you'll read this message asap!
Thanks for the review. Will this work with a smartphone via OTG?
This seems to be the same mic Universal Audio includes with their Volt studio packs in 2022, but then in the XLR version, needing phantom power. It's perfectly fine for me...
Wait, I thought you were doing a goofy voice for a minute, but that's your real voice. Wow you've really worked to get rid of your drawl. And great job because I can't detect it at all anymore. Actually I'm not sure why but I assumed you were Canadian.
Hey, I recommended this, Great video podcastage!
Thanks.
Hi, great review. I don't know much about mics, if I buy this one, will I need to buy anything else for it to work properly or can I just connect it to my laptop and start using it?
Thank you for helping me i bought that mic and i Think its GOOD at the prise and in my box i Got a adapter to my mic arm thank you for helping me
Thanks for the good review! I am definitely going to buy it, as you said, it's a great beginner mic!
Thanks! Which one do you recommend for podcast that arent too expensive? :)
Thank you for review! What do you think which mic is better: that MPM-1000u, pod pack 1 or samson C01U Pro?
I honestly haven't done a direct comparison so I'm uncertain. I can tell you that I think the MPM1000U is better than the Pod Pack 1.
Thanks for answer. :)
Hey! Do you know what's the required voltage for this mic? Couldn't find any info online. Trying to see if this can be hooked up to an iPad.
..and what would you recommend me for use of livestream, freestyling..making rap too? could you help me here please?
Hey man...could you review the non-USB version of this mic?
Figures I recommend one that craps itself with no customer support... Glad it performed well. What was your purchase price on the second unit? Did you manage to get the first when it was like $11?
David Ploss yeah. Picked up the first one for $11. So it wasn't even worth the hassle to return. I jumped through all their customer service hoops too. Including the proof of purchase all sorts of information. Still nothing. Pretty shitty in my opinion.
Podcastage shitty indeed...
Feels like a dealbreaker already with that kind of shitty customer service. :(
Is it a real copy of Novox NC-1? I can see many similarities
You said that you dont recommend this for podcasters and such, do you have any mic recommendations for a streamer? (as little keyboard sound as possible) Been looking at the Blue Yeti but it feels like overkill. Looking around the $50-$120 range.
It's a jungle out there and thanks for clearing it up a bit! Love your work! :)
Don't get the blue yeti if you're concerned with background noise. Look into DYNAMIC CARDIOID MICS! AT2005USB, ATR2100, or Q2U.
Podcastage Roger! Thx for the input! :)
Thank you, for the review and all the tests. This Mic is amazing, in USB or XLR Version, for this low price.
Greetings from sw germany.
My pleasure! Thanks for watching. Have a great day.
Podcastage I need your answer does this mic still the best between 50-74 $ ?
Nice video as always!
Could you give a brief comment on its sound vs the NW-700's sound?
I guess the latter does pick up less background noise, doesn't it?
Take care! :)
Haven't compared them so I'm not sure.
the only thing making me want to buy this is your great guitar melodies
Hey! Nice mic! I asked you in a previous video in the pod pack 1 if it was worth it for 64 euros and you told me to see the price of this. Seems nice! It costs 74 here in Greece without boom. Is it worth it?
I think the podpack1 would probably be the better option for the price since you get very similar audio quality and everything you need to start (except for a shockmount and windscreen).
Marantz Pro MPM-1000u VS MXL Tempo
Which's better for music recording???? (R&B and RAP)
awsome video as always!
Do you still think its good for someone who wants to get into podcasting on the side, but has to mainly use it for school stuff (instrumental and vocal sometimes)?
Is there a better microphone for that kind of situation around the same price range?
What kind of switches do you have on your mechanical keyboard? I think it would be really helpful to say what type of switches you have in your videos.
MX Blue
Could the monoprice 600800 be added to your list? If it's there already, sorry for the repeat suggestion.
This was super informative. Thanks!
hiii please please compare nw700 and samson co1upro. . They are the best budget options of xlr and usb condenser microphones. Will be helpful for many. I have co1u pro im thinking of buying nw700 with an audio interface for better quality. Pls help me out
What would you recommend Marantz Pro MPM1000U or the IK I rig multimedia microphone? I want it for recording songs I have used the ik microphone and think it sounds good but wanted to try something else maybe a bit better for the same sort of price
very good review mate, I was thinking of buying it and here at amazon india it's about $100 so not sure as samson c10upro i also same prime
1000u or 2000u? For rap
I am lookibg for smooth one
Does the microphone pick up the sound of the voice and the guitar at the same time?
Awesome video as always. Can u review the Behringer q502 USB mixer?? Thx
That should be the exact same as the Q302usb mixer.
It has a couple of features that intrigue me such as the compression adjustment. Just curious how well it worked.
Ah. Added to poll.
Awesome!! Thx so much.
which usb mic is good for singing/vocals?
i'm thinking of buying rode nt usb or else scarlet solo pack 2nd gen..which one would u suggest?
I personally prefer XLR mics.
VERY useful!!! Thank you
Thumbs up from Brazil \o
is this worth the extra money versus the CAD GXL2400??
ok i dont speak english and you speak hell of fast, so here´s my question ¿How does this thing do it with a classical guitar? or wich one in this price range would you recomend me to record me playing classical guitar?
I am starting youtuber. And was looking into USB microphones. I was looking into the rode nt usb or the blue yeti. Can you tell me which one to buy. Or perhaps make a comparison video. Or if you have any other recommendations.
I don't suggest Blue Yeti.
Review Floureon BM-800, i wanted to know how it sounds with your interface
I don't want to review a 4th or 5th version of the BM800. I'm sick of all those mics. It should be similar to my other BM800 reviews.
Just a question please.
Is it ok to have the mic mounted with this clip that comes with it, but turn it to the side so it's sideways? Is possible it could break?
I was one sentence away to buy this mic : my first sample broke and customer service didn't reply in a month.
F that. Thanx for the cool review though !
plsss response mpm1000u vs marantz umpire what is better ?
How can I get microphone boost option? I don't have it in recording Windows option...
Hi.can you test the maono au04 usb? Thank you bro
Nice review! thanks:)
Funny and informative. Good review.
Hi, good advice video, have a question, I bought this mic to plug directly into my laptop which works fine but recently have purchased a Focusrite 2i2 audio interface and want to run it through it, there is no usb input on the focusrite but seems you can buy a cable with a jack that will allow this to be used, as there is panthom power already in the mic is it safe to plug it into the focusrite and if so should I enable the Panthom power on the focusrite, Thanks in advance for your help
just because you said to get the bm700 instead of the 800 cuz it is not worth the extra bucks , I got the bm 800
great buy though
what is the arm that you are using in this video to hold up the microphone?
noice can you reccomend me should i buy this or samson meteor
That's up to you depending on which one you think sounds better.
Podcastage welp lets go with the Most simple and you can use it everywhere it sounds Good 2 ty ma frend its definitly Samson meteor samson product is The best in my opinion
Samson is tinny af. Disgusting sound.
What do you use as a phantom power? Could I have the full equipment which was used in the recording.
This is a usb mic. You plug it into the usb port.
Oh, sorry. I'm a bit confused model. Thanks for the reply
It's worth buying this than Audio Technica ATR2500 ? or CAD GXL2400*
Never tested GXL2000 so I don't know. ATR2500 or this comes down to which one you like the tone of.
Thank you! I really like your videos, I always follow when I can: D
Which is better? AT2020 or this mic??
Please test CydBlues K600 (bm800) microphone and f7 mixer. I have the microphone. It is good
It doesn't look available in the states, and I am so sick of reviewing the same BM800 mic over and over and over again.
OK thanks
thanks for the good review
Is this microphone good for gaming??
I bought it together with pod pac all in all together for 50 bucks and shipped them 2 germany. was totally worth it :D
Yeah they're pretty great.
I am already using a Marantz pod pack 1 and now I need a second microphone around 70 euros, is there any possibility that Marantz Pro MPM-1000u series has defective products cause you said that your first one died??? Thank you!
What do you mean? I think there's always a chance you get a faulty unit when you're buying anything. But I imagine they do a decent job at QA.
I am aware that there is always a chance you get a faulty product, but I thought your situation was more like a disclaimer-warning and not just a simple fact. Thank you anyway for responding!
hi I need a video to show how I need mix voice and guitars if is possible I will appreciate it
+Podcastage Pls could you do a Review for the auna mic 900b Plssss and could you do an Versus Video between the NW 800 and the Auna mic 900b??????
I can't get Auna mics in US.
Podcastage u can now
what is the best between this and pod pack 1?
Hey do you think you could do a video on how to use two microphones in GarageBand while using a usb hub? I'm trying to pod with two microphones using a usb hub in GarageBand but I can't seem to get both pics to work. I have no problem when both are plugged directly into my computer but when I use the usb hub, it won't work. Do you think you could help?
I don't know why that's an issue.
I'm back again!
remember me podcastage?😁😊
welcome back.
Marantz Pro MPM-1000u or Behringer c1-u ?
hi. how near shall I sit from a webcam.? I'm using a Logitech c525 webcam..I using it's mic for my voice over for my gaming channel.. should I get the mic to 100%?
That's completely up to you dude.
thanks bro.
Do you recomend this mic for Voiceovers?
For professional voice overs, it may not be up to snuff because clients can have very stringent spec requirements for the final recordings. For recording for a personal RUclips channel or something, if your budget maxes out around the $50, I think it'd be fine.
Is this better than Auna 900?
I need to change the Auna 900 because not working with usb 3.1/3.00 on my case/motherboard T_T
Bad news, the mpm-1000u after 5 month has started today to make a really high background noise and make my voice really low... it's time to change mic again rip
podcastage I have the bm100 fx and I was wondering is there anyway I can hook it up to my samsung?
Not that I know of.
I have a question that's not relevant to this video. Figure I'd post it on this video. I have a Behringer Xenyx 502 mixer and a Behringer C1 condenser microphone. Is it safe to plug the microphone into the mixer with a phantom power supply? Looking at your review the mic requires 48V.
Try it without the phantom power supply.
Hi Bandrew, hey, I have a question ... I bought the Bm 800 and I don't like the shock mount included with it, I want to buy a shock mount like the samson microphone stand, but it's compatible with the bm 800?
what samson microphone stand?
Cristian Ramírez he's likely referring to a PS01 or PS04 (I'm not sure which one would work for this microphone.)
Yeah, I want to know if SP01 Shock mount works with the bm 800
www.amazon.com/Samson-Technologies-SP01-Spider-Shockmount/dp/B000LQLDM2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1491496242&sr=8-1&keywords=samson+shock+mount
BM800 does not have threads required for SP01.
How will i get this to stand on a microphone stand will i need a microphone adapter if do can someone give me a link to it
Can somebody let me know if this comes any closer to Samson Co1u, or if it's any better than Behringer ?
samson c01u pro better than both for sure
Can anyone tell me how well this mic handles ambience? I need it to excel at picking up ambience because I won't be using it to speak in to but I won't be recording with it, just listening. Your feedback would be appreciated. Thanks. :)
do i need to buy this adapter to mount this mic on a stand ?
Would this be better then the xlr version
Streamers and podcasters who don't afford a Shure SM7B get a cardioid condenser... Blue Yeti, AT2020, Rode NT etc. I guess there aren't that many good dynamics on the cheap.
THANKS TO YOU I BOUGHT THIS
Can someone recommend me a cheap stable stand for this mic that I could buy on Amazon?
2:32 Ok and I imagine most people have got an insulated bedroom! Carpet and foam all over, right! Truth is, that mic would sound take any fly fart on a regular basis!
Would you suggest this over the MXL tempo?
100%. I personally hated the mxl tempo.
Im going to buy it
Nice video i watched and im very happy
Happy to hear that! =)
Podcastage yep
So glad I watched this. The mic sounds terrible 😢
I'm struggling to find something good. I miss big music stores existing so I could test stuff like this in person D:
Marantz Pod Pack { usb } 1 Vs Marantz mpm 1000 { usb } ?
Why does the mic always end up at the same volume level on a different gain on windows v. mac? like 56% on the mac sounds the same as 88% on the pc, why?
Windows 10 typically makes USB mics quieter.
Nextous this is why I dislike Windows 10 so much. They should change that in the next update. It's my biggest complaint.
