In this review, I’ll be taking a look at the MXL 990 large-diaphragm condenser microphone. This microphone is bright, silky, and capable of much more than one would expect from a cheap microphone in this price range. I got my hands on its “Blaze” edition. Let’s take a look.
Tierra Audio has made a name for itself by promoting sustainable methods of production and using recyclable materials in its products. The New Twenties microphone follows suit, made of stainless steel and aluminum, with a case made out of bamboo.
In this review, I will be testing the Scope Labs Periscope omnidirectional microphone.
The Periscope looks like a pipe stolen from an engine room and has a built-in compressor. This might be great news for those of you who are excited by novelty, but let’s see if its performance is as exciting.
There are plenty of budget monitors out there to pick from, although most of them come with serious drawbacks. The Rokits are too bass-heavy, the Yamahas are too piercing, the list goes on.
The Adam Audio T5V? Well, they have some drawbacks too, but on a purely objective level, these monitors perform far better than a handful of their other budget counterparts.
Yamaha really doesn’t need much of an introduction. They’ve been around for years and have built their reputation from the success of their infamous NS-10 – the most trusted and reliably horrible-sounding monitors possibly ever made.
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.
