Boya BY M1000 Pro Review - Studio Swiss Army Knife

[@theiammike123]

I had the OG Boya BY-M1000 back in mid-2020. An absolute steal for its price at the time. Built like a tank (it weighed 812g, even its shock mount was metal) Sounded great (somewhat similar frequency response as Neat King Bee). And it's still selling online today for an even lower price. But with this new "Pro" version, could this mean that the OG version will phase out? Also, I'm just as surprised when you did the plosive test w/out the filter. Great review as always.

Nice review ! :)

[@Kuncalek]

Nice review, I can confirm the conclusions. For home studio singing I have a mic from Sennheiser for more than tripple price, I went for this Boya to easily sing/record with my little children and I must say that for the money (bought in sale for approx. 60 EUR) it was surprisingly a great buy (yes I also went for a better XLR cable directly 🙂).

Which one will be better for voice over between fifine am8 and k688 with mono caster E2. please Reply

[@Cadell_Luna_VA]

I got mine alongside the AM1 mixer also from Boya but I didn't get the stickers 😢. It's still an awesome mic though.

[@Andrew-baines]

So I’ve been looking to get the Rode NT 1 Signature Series. So I was wondering would you recommend me get the Boya or the Rode? I want to mainly use it for voiceover work.

[@randomroblox2430]

Choose Rode if your room is decently sound treated, if not just get a boya instead as it'll save you a headache in doing vo work.

[@ionrage]

The Rode will be better, esp the NT1 signature, though this Boya overall packaging is decent with that much better use case shockmount, we need more companies to make those slim style mounts but be more universal.

[@randomroblox2430]

definitely one of the most underrated channels out there! Also is this mic available on lazada or shopee? Im kinda having difficulties finding one

[@DaveSoltura]

Hi! I don't think it's on Lazada or Shoppee either, but even from the Philippines, you can get this from Amazon with minimum import fees, so it's like you just bought it from Lazada/Shoppee. You can get it here: amzn.to/49FndP3

@@DaveSoltura Hey man thanks alot for replying on my previous question! Just now the mentioned mic is available on shopee but is the Boya by m1000 pro better than the Audio Technica AT2020? Im quite torn between these 2

[@DaveSoltura]

@@randomroblox2430 Believe it or not-- as much as I have extensive experience with the AT2020 and have adored it through the years, the Boya BY M1000 Pro is a steal for the price. Has 6db better signal-to-noise ratio, I prefer the tone, and it has the best plosive resistance among all the mics that I own (with the pop filter on), and I really like the tone compared to the AT2020. It also comes with a 2-year warranty, so Boya has more confidence in this mic!

Hello Dave, I'm a new follower of yours, I really liked the video. By the way, I wanted to know if you could do a review of the new Fifine microphone. The Fifine Tank3, I would love to know your opinion on this microphone. Also, you could compare it with others like Fifine k688 or am8.

[@DaveSoltura]

They're sending it soon. :) So excited to review it. Thanks for subsscribing!

[@olegloza]

The review is absolutely great!

[@DaveSoltura]

Thank you!!

Hello! What recording software did you use to record the audio?

[@rallibe2934]

Hi. How is it different from the old version, is it better or worse? The previous version is much heavier, does this mean that the new lesser is reliable?

[@DaveSoltura]

Hi! I’m not sure. But build quality of this one, if it’s just the mic, is great. Sounds great to me.

[@theiammike123]

There has to be a comparison video between the M1000 and the M1000 Pro. 🤔

[@hyacinthzpt]

What microphone did you use on this vlog?

[@plsdonthackmeagain5533]

What did you use for recording the mic?

[@DaveSoltura]

The Motu M2 interface.

[@paidtopartyTV]

Hello sir. Asking po kasi ayaw gumana nung by m1000 pro ko brandnew ko sya binili pero diko alam bakit ayaw gumana or siguro need ng interface na compatible sa mic na ito. Need help po thank you.

[@DaveSoltura]

@@paidtopartyTV Hello! Need po ng audio interface with phantom power, a.k.a. 48v. Most interfaces have this feature.

[@-deku363]

I have a question: What is the best economical microphone for vocal performance and dubbing?

[@DaveSoltura]

There are various budgets, but this mic is a great choice for that! Just make sure to have good acoustic treatment and decent sound proofing in your room.
