Hey Everyone,

I thought I'd look at the Electrovoice RE20 and the SM7B, both coming from the broadcast industry where radio in particular needed mics where the talent could move around a fair bit without the tone of the mics changing very much.

I've been going through the mics that arrived while I was away, and one mic, I don't think people will like, but a couple that are quite cheap and very good!

I'm working on another video warning people that sometimes mics from China can be simply awful, and how price means little sometimes. I'll have that one done in a day or two, spare work time permitting.

Hey Recording community! I'm new here, but I have no doubt that you can help me out.

If someone searches for best mic for opera singers, this forum is among the top results. However, the results are from 2004.

The old Microphone Data website has been bought by Odratek BV, and re-launched as Micpedia. It looks interesting and reasonably comprehensive. The new owners are promising further entries of individual mics as well as features such as shoot-outs between microphones.

Dear all,

I am new to microphones and would like to ask for your advice.

I've been experimenting with finding the right mics for a grand piano and before I finish the video, I thought I'd shar some of the recordings so far.

We have a G2 Yamaha Grand, and my favourites are still a pair of AKG 414s - one favouring the left hand and the other the right.

I spent a lot of time today on my cello quest. In the end, I picked the SM57, and the Sennheiser e906 (mainly because I'd been using 3 of them for a Queen Tribute - and they did quite well on AC30 amps. I went with the AKG 414 and the U87.
