Hey there, I'ts no surprise that the longer microphone sounds worse than the shorter one, because the longer the shotgun mic is the more sound it rejects from the sides, the thing is inside a room, specally a small one, you have a lot of reflections from the side which are cancelling your own voice that is going around the room. That's why professionals usually prefer using pencil condenser microphones on interiors and longer shotguns on the outside. Try both of them outside and you'll probably notice that the sound will be more crisp on the 6060L.
@@d-harmcinemapictures2517 if you're on a budget podcastage recently reviewed the behringer, and I belive samson has some too. If you want som brand on it try the rode ones
The 6060L is designed to be used for exterior recordings. You are getting obvious phasing issues because you are using it in a small untreated room. The 6040 sounds better in this case but it's not a fair comparison. The 6060L is meant for longer distance recording, to isolate the voice and is generally used for exterior dialogue to exclude unwanted ambient, off axis sound. It's like using a sniper rife inside.
@@dwinastove139 If you are shooting indoors in an enclosed space, you don't really need a shotgun mic. The echo of your voice will create what's called phase shift in the shotgun mic and it can sound strange and muffled. For indoor simply use a cardiod pencil mic and you will have better sound. Shotgun mics like the 6060 and 6060L are better outdoors. That being said, as shotgun mics go, I am really disappointed with my Boya 6060L because it has bad Ambient sound rejection and quite a lot of self noise. This in addition to it not being too sensitive means you will have to crank up your mic input level in the recorder/camera and this results in quite a bit of mic noise and a high noise floor. So, in my opinion, something like a Behringer C2, or a T Bone Sc140 from Thomann (ordered from their site in Germany) is better value and will provide better value than the Boya. I purchased the Sc140 and use it in most of my work. I find it is even better in most cases outside with incredibly low noise.
@@fieldpictures1306 Thank you for your reply. Im not going to talk during shooting my video, I was planning on just recording the food cutting, sizzling when frying, and squeezing food sounds. Maybe crunching food. I live near a busy road so motorcycle noise is really a problem. Will the pencil mic do better for my needs? thanks
@@dwinastove139 The best way to deal with that type of noise is to get the mic as close as possible to the sound you are recording. The alternative for food sounds is to use what's called a plant mic. With this you simply hide a mic close to the source in a vase of flowers or some kitchen equipment so the camera can't see it. That way it can be really close to the sound and exclude the exterior noise. If you're no recording voice you can use a cheaper mic. mic
@@fieldpictures1306 ah dang it you were right. Decided just to give a shotgun a try and it sound like in the video. Weird and like no bass no power. I need to move the filming location to a better treated room. Shooting inside empty room was a mistake. Thank you
Thank you! great review! on both these mics. I have a question, I would like to also purchase a Blimp for the larger mic, what do you recommend? looking forward to your reply my friend. thanks in advance.
Hello sir I'm planning to buy my first shotgun mic, I will use it mainly in making shortfilm. So I need a mic that can record both indoor and outdoor, for dialogue and ambience. Can can you recommend sir betweem the boya bm-6040 and boya bm-6060? Or are there any mic you can recommend same price as the boya.?
No my friend they’re XLR microphones you will need a phantom power. Have a lovely day with your family! And don’t forget to stay tuned for more tech reviews! 😃
I don’t think so, I have a small studio now with sound isolation and the mic still does it. I think that is what people wrote on the comment, the 6060L is more for outside work. Stay tuned more mic reviews coming soon! Stay safe
@@TubersFunFam yeah that’s what I thought as well. I’ve watched another review the sounded better with him could be manufacture default or something. Thanks 🙏🏻
@@IndyVisuals could be the room as well, my room as a lot of echo. I will have my RUclips studio ready by the end of the month and I will try the 6060 again to see if makes difference with a sound treated room
@@IndyVisuals I will. Someone on RUclips or Instagram i don’t remember now told me that the 6060 is better to use outside. I’m not a mic expert so I don’t know. I use the 6040 for all my videos now but I would like to use the 6060 because can be used with AAA batteries and that is great. Have a great weekend my friend
Hi there, on paper you should be able to because the 6060l uses a 1*1.5V AA battery. I haven’t tested the sound but you should be fine. Have a lovely day and stay tuned for more videos
Hi there, the 6040 needs power so you will need to use a phantom power to use it. The 6060l can be use with a phantom power or with a AAA battery so if you use a AAA battery you can buy a cable with a 3.5mm jack at the end and use it on your camera but in my opinion is always better to use a phantom power, I think BOYA have one to connect to your camera although I don’t now if is compatible with all cameras. Please fell free to ask if you have more questions. Thanks for watching. Stay tuned always reviewing new microphones. Stay safe
I get that question a lot and I can’t give you the right answer, the fact is that I use the 6040 for my youtube because the 6060 is so bad…could be because it has a problem I don’t know but I will test it again on my new youtube studio.

It seems that the BM6060L is meant to be used from a longer distance away from the subject, whereas the BM6040 is better suited for indoor use.
Also, I liked the BM6040 better than the lavalier 🤔
Thank you! great review! on both these mics. I have a question, I would like to also purchase a Blimp for the larger mic, what do you recommend? looking forward to your reply my friend. thanks in advance.
Cool microphones...the sound on the smaller is much better
Hi
I used Boya by bm6060 with zoom h6 but the sound is very bad.
What the best setting ?
Thanks a lot.
The 6060L sound quality is not desirable, thanks for the video👍🏼.

The second mic the sound is so good

Different but cool 😎

Why 6060 had very high frequency did you eq it? 6040 sounded better

They’re not that expensive really. Great review
