Having the SM7B in the comparison is great. Even if they arent comparable price, anyone buying this is prob buying it because its cheaper than a 7B. And honestly in reviews I've never heard a SM7B and been like, "wow thats well worth its price tag". Not that its a bad mic in any way. I just costs several times as much as mics that I think sound equal. Nothing a little editing cant fix. Good review.

@AudioHotline3 жыл бұрын
I’d go for the PD-70. They don’t sound insanely different, but I personally prefer cardioid for podcasting vs super-cardioid. I just like having better rejection from the back of the mic rather than better rejection from the sides. That is more of a personal preference thing though. This does a good job with air and plosives, which is great. They are both solid mics, I just lean toward the PD-70 a little bit. I can guarantee that the Beta 58a will be in a video very soon though!

In order to get this connected up to your computer you will need an audio interface in addition to the microphone. As well as an XLR cable to connect the mic to the audio interface. Here are a couple options you can look at to get acquainted with that you will need. Audio interface options: Focusrite Scarlett Solo: amzn.to/373wqmt Audient EVO 4: amzn.to/3rN6pQz Behringer UMC22 (cheapest option, not quite as nice as the others): amzn.to/3d3MAjx XLR cables: amzn.to/3pfpAR3 You will need some sort of software on your a computer to capture the sound. There are some free DAW (digital audio workstation) programs out there like Audacity. Also, this mic doesn’t come with a mic stand of any kind, so you will need a mic stand or desktop boom arm.

When I was messing around with EQ during editing this video, I was able to minimize the sibilance very easily. Which sometimes isn’t an easy task, so that kind of played into my final opinion as well! Haha right??? I need a clip of him saying “that’s what she said” that I can throw in my videos whenever haha.

@AudioHotline3 жыл бұрын
I mean, you can. I would probably recommend going with a cheaper mic and getting an interface though. The SM48 or the XM8500 are very reasonable, good sounding mics that you could pair with a used Focusrite Scarlet Solo and get it all for around the same price as the PD-70. Depending on the 3.5mm input you are plugging this into, it may not translate well, it tends to have a lot more noise floor. Consider downloading the app “Reverb” it has great used audio gear on there, and it is sold by other musicians/audio lovers. Basically it is an awesome eBay for audio gear.

@AudioHotline3 жыл бұрын
Fair enough. One thing you can do is get an iRig Pre with the PD-70. They are about $40 new, but I have literally bought them for $25 used. It allows you to plug in an XLR mic, and then send that signal out to a 3.5mm input. The reason this is better than just going with an XLR to 3.5mm is that you have a preamp in the iRig that can drive the microphone much better. The iRig pre even has phantom power available, which you wouldn’t need for the PD-70, unless you get a mic activator, but Phantom Power is a great thing to have available. If you need to be around that $130 - $140 price, you could consider the Podmic and the iRig pre instead of the PD-70, since the Podmic goes for $100... unless you aren’t a fan of the look of the podmic.

Yeah that section is definitely not for everyone and is one of the reasons I include timestamps. I will say though, there are some general things people need to know about mics, especially when it comes to polar patterns and mic type. Those things can really help you decide what mic will work for you and the room you will be recording in. One of the most common comments I see on here is someone that got a condenser mic and they are having problems with it picking up a lot of noise in their room. Understanding that condenser mics are much more sensitive and tend to pick up room noise a lot more than dynamic cardioid mics would have been a good thing to know before purchasing their mic. Also, sometimes it is a USB condenser mic (Blue Yeti) that they have set to omnidirectional mode (picks up noise all around mic), rather than cardioid (most sensitive in the front, least sensitive in the back). So as boring as they are, they are a necessary evil for understanding how the mic functions and if it will work for the potential buyer.
