Thanks Matthew. You can thank Sound Speeds for influencing me to do that. It's been really fun for me to try and sort out how to get the best out of mics in those positions. I still have so much to learn about that technique though.

Huge fan of the MC930. I've got a pair of them that I use for Live Sound and they never cease to impress me with how natural and clean they sound. Their unhyped character along with super clean off-axis response helps so much when working with Jazz or Classical artists.

Thanks so much for sharing your experience with these Ian. It's extremely beneficial to hear people's real world experience and use cases with the gear that's covered. I use these mics for a month or two max, so hearing from people who use them in their daily kit is so incredibly helpful for people who are researching what to by. Thank you!

Another great review. For my money, Beyer doesn't do "sleepers," they do _great,_ microphones. So many absolute classics; the M-201, M-380, M-88, M-160, M-260, just so many great microphones to cover such a broad range of applications. That said, the sE mic punched way above it's weight class and sE in general deserves their props for making really good mics that I think are being overlooked due to their affordability. Also, I was not surprised that the SM-81 also sounded great because every Shure mic does and you can't go wrong with their 81, their 137 or 141 SDC's.
@Podcastage
@Podcastage Жыл бұрын
It's possible that Beyer doesn't have sleepers. I just don't hear anyone in online content creation talk about them. So in my perspective these mics are underrated, just like the sE stuff. I also recently picked up a 141 from Shure which I can't wait to try out.

I’ve enjoyed your videos forever now. All your sound tests sound good. I think ALOT of people would agree with me that you should make videos of on the microphones you have making presets or show us how you eq and compress basically what settings you use to get them to sound good cause it it’d be easy to follow along how well you explain things. Another suggestion is I think it’d grow your channel if you also started doing IOS videos. I have the Samson q2u and struggling to get a good sound for vocals on iOS it’s easier in mac. iPad or iPhone tips are basically the same thing. Thanks for all your detailed hard work ❤

All of my recordings here are raw and unprocessed, so if that's the sound you're going for, it's all about getting the audio as clean as possible before you hit record: shut off noisy devices, use the polar pattern to reject reflections / background noises, get a good placement of the mic in relation to the sound source...

Listening to the comparison on phone speaker is funny. I heard all mics as quite distinct UNTIL you got to the Neumanns. The sound of this mic and the sounds of both of them became pretty much indistinguishable. Compared to other sticks before the N, it's surprising how smooth and less bright this mic turned out. A definite favourite.... on the phone speaker. Need to re-listen on pc later...

I really appreciate the mic comparisons and all the tests, instant subscribe. A mic that I was looking at, but a little skeptical of, is the PreSonus PM-2. At about $130 the frequency response is a little wobbly but still SHOCKINGLY flat...I record a lot of classical instruments so that's a win in my book, but there must be drawbacks somewhere. I would love to see you do a review on that mic.

The 930 is an under-promoted microphone, and I’m not sure why. I was sent a pair of these to try when on the road with Julio Iglesias as he was using a Beyer vocal condenser at the time. They found a home as drum overheads. Its rare complete lack of hype makes it ideal for many such uses. Toms and snare sounded best of all in the 930s. Lovers of the Neumann KM184 will be right at home with the 930.

I hate mics that you need a tool to change settings. DIP switches are annoying. That being said, that mic has a really nice low end. The sm81 and KM184 were the only ones that were comparable. The 184 sounded closest to me. Great sounding mic.

Sounds good - very neutral and I bet it takes EQ nicely. OK, the SM81 fits that too, at a lower cost, and the KM184 is pretty much the gold standard for SDC, albeit at a premium price. As others point out, there's not a lot of improvement vs. price with most mics once you pass a critical threshold. That's about $300. I think the selling point here is the extremely flat response, but you're gonna have to be careful with placement especially with voice, and it doesn't like to be knocked around. I really did like how it sounded on the electric guitar, but for acoustic I'd like something with a bit more upper air. SDC market is crowded and there are a lot of good choices these days.

The conclusion/recommmendation is absolutely true concerning the se electronics and the shure. It's like it seemed to be for myself while listening, before viewing the final impressions. Liked the beyer, it is made in Germany, so 😊.... but as mentioned, the se and the shure are very good too, the beyer with more base, fuller sounding, the other two slightly more "brilliant", at least for my ears, listening on YT.
@Podcastage

Thanks very much for sharing your thoughts. The MC930 sounds a bit smoother than the sE electronics SDC's, and the MC930 and SM81 sound a bit different, but we're splitting hairs. Many people will be more than happy with one of the sE electronics mics or the Shure mic, while simultaneously if they have the money many people will love the Beyer.

Theres deminishing returns on good mics. You can generally tell that the things around $300+, maybe 200 ish, sound a lot less tinny than the $100 ish ones. But comparing the $300+ to the $1000+, the difference is insanely minimal. The best studios in the world may be able to make use of the benefits but definately not needed for normal use.

Again, that sucks your mic is faulty and I hope that Beyerdynamic can do something to resolve it for you.

That's an interesting description of a sound as "lagging". Or maybe you're just saying it falls behind the competition. I thought it worked pretty well in the overhead booming position about 10-12" away.

The SE8 sounded better than the MC930 and just as good as the $3700 mic.

Wow! That's quite high praise for the SE8. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on it.

They're too different for either one to be better for anyone and everyone. SE8 has a more clinical and obviously transformerless sound imho, with a strong upper-mid presence bump. The M930's is also transformerless but the highs are sweet enough that it could have fooled me into believing that there's one inside.

Sure sounds different than the other SDCs. Pretty bulky mid-section, frequency speaking. Boy, you sure can't trust the manufacturer's freq response curve - it just doesn't sound like it looks.

I don't have an AKG C1000 so it's not on the schedule yet but I will eventually pick up some AKG SDCs to try out.

@@Podcastage thanks for the video's really like the comparisons and pallet cleansers that really helps! in this video man those SE8's on a budget are the great value the "Hello SDC's could be seen as better but I do think they are more muffled / Muddy in the lower/upper lows IMO, the Beyers are the best money wise, I got mine for £ 333 on ebay, now the new version are over £1k in the uk I just smile when I open the box ;) thanks again

The Z mics are nice but I'd say no thanks as there are other good choices that don't come from New Stalinville in this price range like the MC930 here but also the Beesneez Lulu FET, Austrian Audio CC8, Josephson C42, and Telefunken M60
