In this review, I’ll be testing the Lauten Audio LS-208 end-address large-diaphragm condenser microphone.
Lauten Audio is a small, family-owned company that has been making unique boutique microphones since around 2006. Let’s see what they’ve managed to pull off with the LS-208.
In this review, I’ll be looking at the Shure MV7 dynamic USB/XLR microphone.
Shure is a reliable company and is responsible for a number of advancements in audio technology. Let’s see if the MV7 holds up Shure’s reputation.
In this review, I’ll be taking a look at the Shure SM7B dynamic microphone. Some of you may be familiar with this microphone as the one Michael Jackson used on Thriller. If not, now you are. Let’s get started.
For beginners interested in the art of recording, finding a reliable point of entry can be a bit daunting. Especially now, seeing that the market is completely oversaturated with low-budget condenser and dynamic microphones, some of which are great and some of them not.
I’ve tested over 20 microphones priced under $100 to bring you what I consider to be the best options that offer quality, versatility, and performance.
Telefunken, a name often associated with pre-war era microphones and preamps, has been based in Connecticut since 2001. The company specializes in creating authentic recreations of classic mics like the U 87/47 and the C12.
While the price tags of these recreations have typically aligned with the originals, Telefunken aims to make this technology more accessible to the modern engineer.
In this article, I’ll be pitting two extremely cost-effective microphones against one another: the AKG P120 and Audio-Technica’s AT2020. Both are comfortably priced at around $100, offering an affordable entry point for budding musicians, podcasters, and content creators alike.
Let’s dive in and see how they compare against each other.
