Dynamic Mic Shootout: SM58 vs MV7X vs SM7B vs Dynacaster DCM8

9Today we take a look at a couple of different dynamic microphones and put them through a couple of tests to find out, which one is the right mic for me.

I have to say, you're handeling test on the dynacaster didn't sound as bad as some other reviews I've seen on youtube. I like the sound of the Dynacaster, especially at that price point. (SM7B plus cloud lifter is too much). I really think that's going to be the mic i pick up. Solid testing.

Thanks for your comment. I'm still very happy with my Dynacaster, and would 100% recommend it. You can't go wrong with an SM7b either, but it is more expensive and IMO doesn't really offer anything that the DCM8 can't do, unless you're just really after the SM7b-look.

I got the sE like a week ago. Still testing but I like it a lot It's a great microphone. The form factor and the design is very nice and I really like the sound of this one. And since I got a good deal at my local store it didn't break the bank too 😅

I picked 2 and 6. Both the Dynacaster! Funny enough, I ordered it earlier today, before I watched your video. Guess I'm happy with my latest impulsive buy, haha.

[@MaryMetal]

Still loving it.

I love my SM&B, but the dynacaster is a best up with a built in am (cloud lifter ) for $299 USD

sE Dynacaster very good

[@Godzillah]

The one that’s good at handling noise is sm7b almost dead quite unless u make noise u won’t know it’s there. It’s not bad really I will use it for beatbox but I will sing with my Sa87i.

I still prefer the Aston Origin's sound, even though it picks up a little more ambient echo, it's super easy to hear.
I found the dynamic microphones to be very muffled.
Among the dynamics, I found the Shure MV7X better with the SM7B's popfilter.
