I Found the BEST Microphone For Vocals UNDER $50!!!

[@EdwardSmithMusic]

🎤 MA-87 ($47) - amzn.to/3thESwl 🎤 Rode NT1 ($249) - sweetwater.sjv.io/Mmk5EJ 🎤 Neumann U87 ($3600) - sweetwater.sjv.io/GmmNKk

[@tomcaron9113]

Just got one. Was able to grab it on Amazon for $39.99. No wind screen included with mine. All I can say is wow. Beats most of my $$$$ mics. Thanks!

[@EdwardSmithMusic]

It is awesome!!! I ordered another one last week but was surprised by the poor reviews. For the price, this mic deserves nothing but 5 stars in my books 🙌🏻🫡

[@MasudaOfKorriban]

@@EdwardSmithMusic You'd be surprised, a lot of the reviews on amazon aren't even real, it's why you see such good reviews on terrible products and sometimes bad reviews on good products. I have gotten a lot of mail to my house to make 5 star reviews for products and I found it wild.

[@jahihenry6702]

my microphone just broke in the middle of recording so this video is GODSEND for my music and my morale. THANK YOU!!!

[@2dboo11]

It’s hard to tell. You always sound good no matter what mic you use.

[@EdwardSmithMusic]

Thank you so much!!!

[@kysi6274]

His singing is awful what are you talking about ?

[@MrSound4Life]

The cheaper one is brighter and lacks bottom end. Not bad for that price though.

[@TavardoReasias]

The MA-87 is no joke, I used that Mike before and boi oh boi the quality is really up there.

[@EdwardSmithMusic]

Facts!!!

[@dancingthroughpages140]

I wish this had mentioned that it requires a phantom power adapter which is approximately an extra 20 bucks. I was all excited when I bought it only to find that. Guess it's what I get for not reading labels tho. 🤪 Thanks for videos like these! Subbed!

[@mrpicky1868]

20$ is a pretty bad phantom power and then after that you need a very good input to have remotely good sound . welcome to the world of studio equipment

[@nyoon690]

is it ok tho for low entry people?@@mrpicky1868

[@Ryanthemusician]

Don’t this work with your interface phantom Power?

[@yssnfilms]

@@Ryanthemusician 48v + xlr it should ,my answer without research tho

[@spiritsavage]

MA-87 doesn't have any resonance. NT-1 has resonance. The Neumann captures the resonance to the detail you can even hear it slowly fall off. Great comparison! Thanks!

[@EdwardSmithMusic]

@@spiritsavage Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@jayall00]

Great demo. Im all about getting the highest quality gear but when it comes to mics…I dont hear a $3600 difference. The Neumann has a little more depth and dynamic range. But with a tube and a piezo disk I can’t imagine it being hard to build my own for $100 worth of components and putting it in the case of an MA-87. I just don’t know how anything justifies that insane price. Even Marshall stacks are cheaper, and their electronic content and build complexity definitely exceeds what goes into that mic. Atleast that’s my take

[@DoctorMandible]

Should I save my money and buy 76 of these? Or one of the good ones?

[@NajamSherazofficial]

beautiful singing voice!

[@EdwardSmithMusic]

Thank you!!

[@shunpillay]

Awesome singing voice.

[@EdwardSmithMusic]

Thank you!!

[@kom_official]

Can you make a longer video abaut this microphone? I really like it and want to know more abaut it befor i buy it!

[@EdwardSmithMusic]

I will be comparing it to a few more microphones soon 🫡

[@WalkingbytheSpiritAlways]

@@EdwardSmithMusic It's not available on Amazon now.

[@castrosacasa]

Best one under $50 for sure! but I think the Rode NT-1 is closer to the U87

[@chazzcollab]

How come nobody focuses on the density of the pop stopper or the foam that changes ur sibilance and adds warmth ? I think theres some technology there that needs looked into.

[@hooliganstreet]

How does it handle a really loud vocal? Is it prone to clipping?

[@NaruzaMotomo]

I wonder too

[@EepySleeper]

I’ve been looking for a case for my TLM102, so definitely huge thanks to you for talking about MelonAudio, haha

[@henrikpetersson3463]

Too bad they don't seem to have one with space for the shock mount as well.

[@SIAMENDMUSIC]

WA-47JR VS SE 2200...what is the best?

[@willclarkneptune]

Dang. Can't find an MA 87 anywhere

[@EdwardSmithMusic]

Melon Audio let me know they will restock this mic within the next 2-3 Weeks

[@willclarkneptune]

Awesome! Wow, thanks for checkin, I'll keep an eye out. @@EdwardSmithMusic

Just bought the ma 87

[@kenzorwings]

And what do you think of him? Is it worth buying?

[@gabriellves141]

Please, talk about Noise floor, Phantom Power noise, etc. Save us pls!

[@YoungDulla21]

On Amazon it says unavailable any other way???

[@pavelfajtfree]

Hello Edward, thank you for the information. Any idea where I can buy MA-87 these days. Amazon link is empty. Thank you very much

[@EdwardSmithMusic]

I’m sure it will be back in stock soon 🫡

[@ed_destyne]

Can someone explain pls What is "DRY VOCAL" and why is it different from the first.

[@EdwardSmithMusic]

@@ed_destyne Dry vocal is the dry signal of the recording… so the vocal without any effects or post processing

[@ri-ealismtattooart2244]

I can’t find it in Europe 😔 or many months waiting time and import stuff Someone got some tips ?

[@Ashvra_]

Is this mic the same as the Lexsen lex87?

[@soulinspiration1]

Well it aint $47 now.

[@eboethrasher]

And now Amazon does't even have it anymore.

[@GabrielTheGuitarist]

@@eboethrasher just checked...yup. it gone

I have a Akg p120 should i upgrade or still use it some advice please

[@EdwardSmithMusic]

What upgrade do you have in mind?

[@blingdizzo1200]

With a MA-87 or the Akg p120 is ok compared

[@EdwardSmithMusic]

@@blingdizzo1200 I would upgrade to something like a Lewitt LCT 440 Pure… The MA87 isn’t much of an upgrade 🫡

[@aemproductions8356]

I'm considering buying the MXL V87 mic. No one talks about it but I think its good dupe for the U87.

[@CoggySings]

The U87 is a Great Mic!!! I have recorded many songs with it in the Studio!!!

[@Unlucky_Vampire]

I don’t see a link for the microphone case

[@EdwardSmithMusic]

Here is a link - amzn.to/3MddPsS

[@mitt_3]

so is this mic also good for rapping?

[@BukkyOfficial]

Is it better than the Scarlett solo microphone?

[@EdwardSmithMusic]

Might be a good idea to do a comparison 💪

[@BukkyOfficial]

@@EdwardSmithMusic Please, do so. Thank you.

[@gplusplus314]

What brand is it and where can I buy it? I’m not finding it at the usual places.

[@GlasierXplor]

Hey hey, may I ask what do you feel about ma-87 vs the ma-67? Considering one of them (or maybe both 🌚).

[@EdwardSmithMusic]

Both microphones are exceptional for the price. I will be doing a comparison between both the MA-67 and MA-87 in March. Stay tuned for that video 🫡

[@MichaelPayne1374]

@@EdwardSmithMusic I was wondering the same thing, i'm about to start writing & recording songs again after 11 years, so this is a video i will look forward too with much anticipation, i need a warmer sound as i think my voice is pretty harsh, i used a behringer b-2 when i started writing songs 20 years ago, time for a new one i think, btw you sound fantastic :D

[@GlasierXplor]

​@@EdwardSmithMusic Thank you :) will be looking forward to that video! Currently I have an AT2035 but I find it very dry, hopefully one of these, or the B-2 Pro that is on the way will make it better :)

[@Squirrel-i6u]

I just went to buy it and it said it was unavailable and don't know when or if, they will ever be available.

Can you please do a review to the MA-67 from Melon Audio too!!!

I will definitely do a comparison of these two microphones soon!

awesome man, I look forward to it!

dope content as usual

[@deotexh]

I bought it, got problems like buzzing noise when touching it and idk like electricity problem, so I refunding it with Amazon...

[@dariomottola-br1vq]

Can be good for more 3/4 voices in external? (We’re not professionists and we do not want to spend a lot) Could you give me some advices?

[@YPCLilTroy_LilMoonie_JayoWorst]

do you think it’s better than the AT 2020?

[@EdwardSmithMusic]

I'll have to compare the two to really see, but I have a feeling they might be very similar.

[@PLOTStill]

I've been using a Hybrid C1 microphone ever since I started making music in 2017 and I'll only change it when it dies on me

Does Melon Audio still sell microphones? I looked on the store and all i saw was the cases, and i don’t want to risk buying a microphone thats this cheap on eBay.

[@sktphunt7997]

Can you make a review of BM 900?

[@Wilbin]

you think AKG-P120 or MA-87 which is better ?

[@izzyavila6735]

MA7 sounds baddd! I like the NT1, but the u87 sounds amazing…. Can’t compare ! Ur for art! Anything works! At the end the mic is your part of it!!!!

What is better MA- 87 or mackie em 97 cu?

The MA-87 for sure 🫡

[@siritsyellow352]

Can you just tell me honestly. If I can’t feel the difference. Am i have bad ears?? Or maybe just u have good audio interface so it seems there’s no difference(tiny difference) what is your opinion?

can u test out gtz87 for us?

Very nice microphone

Thank you!!

[@angelitobandz]

My favorite is the NT1-A the MA doesn't sound professional enough

the u87 is still better than both but with an over 3000 dollar difference? im not so sure

[@Kingsxsazusound]

Nice, good video

Please test Rode NTK

[@9DMBEATS]

Video made them reconsider their pricing? Unavailable now 😂

[@AllanGildea]

Extraordinary!

[@zro_dfects]

Every voice is different, and would require a mic to suit that voice, but you could sing in a calculator and would sound like a THX home theatre.

"I dont wanna let you go.. so Im standin in your waaahey..." 😅

[@TerryBollea1]

Spends $3600 on mic...then gets DT 990s. Class me son. Class.

[@CabrioDriving]

The same quality, at least on my 50 USD headphones :)

[@eboethrasher]

Not even in stock anymore, they only have the MA67. And it is $109. So this video is kinda outdated and only functions as an ad for their cases at this point.

[@ArthurPerez-t2e]

How can this be?

[@kelirecords]

I everything about your videos but your singing voice. Dont get me wrong, its just that I can't hear the difference between any of the mics when you're singing.

Wow!!! The fry on this guy!!!! How does he still have a voice??????

I think you bought the fake one :)))

[@CS-uc2oh]

It doesn't even have good reviews. Stop this nonsense man.

[@EdwardSmithMusic]

I just had a look at the reviews, and I'm shocked some people gave this mic a one star rating (I see the person that gave a one star review isn't even a verified purchaser so not too sure what's going on there). TBH, there is no way this microphone is bad for the price. Also, some of the complaints regarding the plastic shock mount is fair, but overall, I truly believe this is a dope $50 mic for budget vocal recording.... I think if you bought one and tried it, you would agree with me... 💪🏻

[@blessednech]

Throw this mic in the trash and never use it again. its garbage

[@kysi6274]

Maybe just talk into the mic please don’t ever sing again

[@MrSound4Life]

Whats your problem dude. He can do what he wants. He can sing with the tools he has and trying the best at it. At least got the b+++ to go out and sing and make it. What you been doing? Nothing
