Default Another Mic Shootout

mcp6453 wrote silly nonsense as usual

-------------------------------------

Here's an interesting mic test.


** No it isn't.

I'm surprised how muddy the 44BX is and
how bright the 77DX is. The levels are not normalized. I don't know what
preamp he used, and I assume he did not do any processing. Some of the
mics have settings that he didn't specify.


** Worthless test by a pompous radio ham.

Ribbon mics have huge proximity effect = bass boost when close speaking. The ham has a **** awful voice and no clue how to record.

I'm hearing some distorting. Is it in the recording or my system?


** There is obvious peak clipping on some samples of speech - ie the BX44 for one.

Yawwnnnnnnn ....
