Peluso P414 Review / Test (vs. C414, OC818, U87 Ai)

[@nikolasnavarro4161]

Bro, are you ok? You have been making great music as of late.

[@rafapucpr]

😅😂😂🤣🤣

[@TheFinalRevelation2]

This mic is making your smooth and airy. Somehow it is managing to do it with your voice. It is flattering.

[@LEWITT-audio]

Great video as usual. The music demo was really fantastic this time. Very well done 👍

[@Podcastage]

Thanks so much!

[@george1lennon]

One thing that’s important to mention is that peluso 414 tried to recreate the OLD AKG414. Most importantly this has brass capsule and an output transformer. The new akg414s are transformerless and nylon capsule, going for a more accurate “clear” tone And the peluso is going for a more “colored” sound. I personally liked the electric guitars on this example, sounded like you can hear that slight saturation from the transformer. If you are trying to decide between 414 style mics consider the different tone of the brass capsule and the added color of the transformer. Happy mic purchasing!! 🤓

[@meistudiony]

I don't think peluso makes a bad mic. I got to interview John Peluso months ago. Their company is very customer focused and their customer service and QC are top notch. My god that C214 sounds terribly bright. Glad i didnt grab one of those. The sE4400a though sounded really nice at less than half the price of the AKG or Peluso. The C414 XLii was pretty close. Man the music test was SO clear and clean. Great job on production.

[@Fl4ppers]

I use the XLS quite a bit on my acoustic and i'd say the low mids and bass close. The treble definitely sounds like the XLii I've heard on youtube demos, but then thats not a great way to compare these days with youtube messing with the audio I suppose.

[@meistudiony]

@ i use the XLii myself all the time for acoustic. Its great. The audio quality isnt too bad if you watch in 1080 or better quality.

[@michaelcaldwell7107]

I never like the way the 214 sounds. I think from what I hear, it sounds great. I really don’t think it sounds as bright as he says he feels it is. It’s definitely not Lewitt bright.

[@timrober75]

Absolutely LOVE the music on this review Bandrew! Stellar!

[@studio_person]

*GLAD YOU ARE BACK!*

[@thomaschan8844]

It'd be awesome to see a "versus" episode with the Peluso and AKG C414 EB... Yeah, I'm a dreamer.

[@sanjulianx]

I really felt that Guitar Riff today ❤😢 you did something Great

[@augustusallan3619]

Great to see the NT2a reappear! I have my eye on it. can you do a full re-review? thanks!!!!!

[@Rgdonaire_07]

I really like your channel. I’m not in the market for a new mic but it’s refreshing to see your videos in this messy stressful world. Cool track as well!

[@JohnCroweSongwriting]

I've owned this for a while, and been hoping you would do it!

[@robertarzola]

I was wondering if you had a video for this mic two weeks ago so I'm happy you got this in!

[@SKIMER]

Much better with a wind screen on for voice for me, abit too sibilant without it, and the "off-axis correlation" is great on this

[@emilemarcotte2782]

Can't wait to watch!

[@DapperDanLovesYou]

Solid review! I definitely like the sound, but it certainly requires some thought about what you put in front of it and the context of that recording 🤔 Thanks!!

[@RadicalRumin]

This mic sounds pretty dang flattering on you, especially with the windscreen bringing down a bit of the scratchy high mids.

[@toxicpiano8166]

MAN your songs for the last 1-2 months are bangers

[@Podcastage]

That really means a lot, thank you!

[@thebreakfastmenu]

Dang that was a nice music demo.

[@nobirdsnomasters]

Would love to see you check out some Vanguard stuff, the V13 especially.

[@yeezytrump1474]

Really loved the music part , aswell as the fact it's built in the USA, if I didn't already have a OC818 & a C414XLS I would consider it. Do you think you can do a review of the WA-8000/WA-8000G I've been in love with that mic lately since I picked it up and all the singers I worked with recently love it aswell! Great review bandrew!

[@db4ks]

i was considering buying this a while back before the Austrian Audio OC18 popped up

[@thesingingchild]

Please review C414B-ULS too to compare!

[@billyhughes9776]

I had two of these I bought as a pair (used(. Had some issues with both of em. The place I bought them from help out and getting them fixed and was free from Peluso. Anyway, I sold one. My experience is I love it for acoustic guitar, center/mono drum overhead, mono drum room and vocals on the right voice. I gets used a good amount in my studio. The music demo was quite enjoyable.

[@TheFinalRevelation2]

Wow! This mic suits you. Either that or my sense of hearing has changed suddenly. Somehow this mic seems to be working for you, making your voice smooth. I think you should find your sweet spot (distance) and angle and use this one. Amazing mic. This and the Shure KSM137 suit your voice also the Sm81 perhaps.

[@AJTrucker]

Why you haven’t reviewed the Rode Interview Pro?

[@tunneltu]

sounds pleasant on your voice

[@hlldaa]

Would you kindly consider reviewing the Shure MV6?

[@OlexanderZnaharenkoUA]

I also get a windscreen which go on the microFOAM))) Good wishes for you. 😊

[@mickeymessstudios109]

Love your channel - love the format ! - - Can you make a recommendation for 500 max $ budget best all rounder mic for studio (vocals, accoustic guitars, shakers) PLEASE ??

[@emreinevi]

Hello, thank you for the video. I have question for you. I'm considering getting the Rode Procaster for my KZbin videos and live streams. In addition, I'm thinking of buying the Rode AI-1 audio interface. Do you think this setup would be sufficient, or would I also need additional equipment like a FetHead? I would greatly appreciate your response.

[@JoshGamingZone]

Awesome video

[@DuusMusic]

How about some 3u Audio mics? Been using the GZ251 FET for some time. Great mic!.. Or Maybe the Line Audio CM4? Awesome instrument mic at a fantastic Price!

[@a.m.son222]

The gz251 is my main vocal mic. Seriously underrated (and under-known) mic company. Would be great to get one of those mics reviewed here! Also, have a pair of Line audio cm3's as my main acoustic guitar mic. Can't get enough of the great budget offerings!

[@techmed-rainer]

Danke!

[@Podcastage]

Thank you so much Rainer, I truly appreciate the support. It helps make videos like this possible. You're the best.

[@TheFinalRevelation2]

Someone please suggest me a pencil condenser mic that is as flattering as this one. My personal experience is with AKG perception 150 and behringer B-5 only. The AKG 150 was great but it has electrical interference issues and some internal noise. Anything with a smoother airy voice that can be used at 12 inches away for livestream and at 6 inches for voiceover. Something in the 100 to 300 USD bracket.

[@george1lennon]

sennheiser makes some affordable shotgun mics in that price range. I think the one everyone uses is over a thousand though. You could try Lewitt LCT 140 very affordable, and bright SDC option. Also don’t be afraid to buy used, often they are half price but still perfect usable condition, on reverb, Facebook marketplace, eBay.

[@TSGEnt]

Came for the review, stayed for the song. Very "RHCP" of you. Kinda "Under The Bridge"

[@HarvinderSingh-yy8th]

Pl. also review peluso P 280. I am leaning towards this mic. How is it as compared to U 87ai. It is said to have wide dynamic mic. Also it is both FET+ tube style cm. I will decide after your final outputs.

[@cjmpyt]

Please do a review of the BAI FEI LI C414!

[@ApplyNowCOP]

Can you do a review on the ut twin 87 :D

[@The-Skyking]

Great mic. The AKG 414 XL though, I kinda though sounded a little bit better.

[@TheZtreet]

what is the best usb microphone in your opinion?

[@dannylightning-audio-reviews]

I was going to say a man that thing sounds really good and then you name the price and I was like oh. I guess it should for that much money

[@Fl4ppers]

70s folk vibes with those vocals, man! Holy folk. Oh and I'll say one thing about the AKG competition... their cases aint as robust as they used to be. Crappy hardboard that dings and scratches. Flimsy hinges etc. Just not a fan of the cost-cutting they've done in recent years. I have a 1990s c3000 in a far better case (solid ABS)

[@johnheiser2604]

Hey Bandrew, why don’t you team up with a music store and review guitars? Imagine a guitar, sample amp, sample mic, sample pedals. The opportunities of blends are phenominal. You could keep going another 50 years.

[@Lyander25]

I feel the LCT-440 is brighter in the midtreble I think with a weirder midrange, and yeah the AKG C414 is somehow more sedate up top which is wild to say. I like it more than the TLM103-- more normal sounding, the 103's weird midrange is coming to light here. Overall I feel that it's hardly a BAD mic, but for 1200 USD then yeah you'd best hope it's at least competent cuz there's a lot of good stuff at that tier. LOVE it on the electric FWIW. Acoustic is a bit thinner than preferable but I've heard much worse I think. Suits your singing voice splendidly. I was too busy appreciating the vocals to notice possible innuendo rofl.

[@Alexandra-Rex]

Right after seeing the thumbnail, I thought it was the sE Electronics T2. On day, maybe.

[@MrNicknayme]

I like it.

[@g3cd]

Thanks, I was considering getting the Peluso for years - would be interesting to see it put up against the vintage tube original, the AKG C12a (if you can afford a few grand).

[@Filosofuerza]

Idea: talk to a manufacturer to start a deal for "The Andrew Mic". A mic designed to your taste for vocals. I know there are great choices out there, but it would be sweet to buy The Andrew Mic from Rode/Shure/Rosswell Pro/ Newman, Sony... etc etc. Thanks!

[@KillahKuin]

The Andrew01

[@Podcastage]

Truly thank you for the support Rafael, it helps so much. It would have to be "Micage" or something like that. Haha.

[@johnnychipello919]

love the mic, hate the price tag lol

[@mirzaangon]

I was so confused in the beginning that looked like a black microphone lol

[@kiliwami4086]

Could anyone help me out? I am looking for a sub 200$ mic for my gaming rig, I want to have it ~20in away from me, near the screen, as I already have gread headphones and am not too fond of lav mics

[@meanmr.mustard]

🙂👍 Nice music dude.

[@virgogreg]

Box abuse! but the best mic reviews

[@80732288]

Could we have your vids on Odysee again, please?

[@christopherkann9255]

Could you do a Peluso p 87 or Beeszeez b87i review, I would really appreciate it, thanks for all your reviews.

[@davidmarley8387]

No Roswell is next you better slow your roll Martha Stewart

[@RinikulusZy]

sounds the same as the shure 565sd except it costs like 1000 dollars more.

[@davidmarley8387]

Start with the Roswell mini 67x

[@sundazesound]

Mini K series are wonderful mics. We have 87s,67s and 47s. We love them.

[@billlord4203]

You should start a band with those seven guitarists and call yerselves "The Bandrews." Oh, regarding the mic, nah, not so much. I mean if you need a lot of air, okay. I did like it on acoustic. But, too much $$$ for all of that top end. And that shock mount looks like it came from the bargain bin on Am@Zon.

[@davidmarley8387]

What about Roswell mics is it because your a earthling what you got against gear from a other planet

[@DWHarper62]

sE 4400 is the best value...

[@g-r-a-e-m-e-]

That's a lot of dollars 😛. Halfway through, i am slightly losing the will to live. But what you're doing is a public service, even if I need counselling afterwards.

[@davidmarley8387]

You paid for this with your own doll hairs yet no Roswell mics

[@babylittlebaby]

interesting when all your life is just micrafones... when you wil be old you will remeber what was your life.... even haley williams will understand what realy hapened

[@rafapucpr]

I think I prefer the sound of the AKG C214.

[@bingobango5377]

This microphone makes me sad.

[@damolin77]

Wow this microphone suck. The plosives sound like it's ready to explode. The Lewitt LTC440 and the NT2a are way better.

[@Bahamasdaddy]

That microphone sucks... You need to return it or put it on reverb at a discount...
