All the microphones I've recorded with

🌱 This post is in the growth phase. It may still be useful as it grows up.

Mics to add (in order of purhase)

• Studio Projects C1
• SM57
  • Didn’t have a good enough preamp/interface to drive it
• Shure PG42-USB
  • Underestimated how much room noise would be captured by this mic and how much I’d need a pop filter
• Samson Q2U
• Heil PR 40
  • Was really into a processed radio sound at the time. But the mic just always sounded like too much
• Unsure the order
  • Pyle Handheld Dynamic
  • Rode M2
  • Sennheiser 416
    • This was a $1000 lesson in comb filtering in a mono recording source.

  • Audio-Technica AT875R

  • Shure SM7B
  • Ultravoice MX8500
  • CAD Equitex E100S
  • CAD Equitex E100X
  • Shure MV88
  • Rode
  • Elgato Wave 3
  • VideoMic NTG
    • Returned pretty quickly. Clear it wasn’t going to work as a distance off-camera mic in my room.
• Shure MV7
• Earthworks Ethos
• MOVO VXR10 PRO
• MKH 50
• Rode Wireless Pro
  • As I think thru what content looks like for me in the near future, I’m thinking about video interviews. This setup is super versital.
