Usually microphone feedback is a bad thing, but this time I actually want some feedback– from you! Over the past few weeks I’ve been trying to be as objective as possible in choosing the “best” microphone for my studio setup. The selection has been narrowed to the best of the best, and now I’m hoping for some outside help in choosing the number one!

🎤 These are the finalists:
•Blue Sona: https://geni.us/sonamic (Amazon)
•Shure SM7B: https://geni.us/swsm7b (Sweetwater)
•Earthworks ETHOS: https://bhpho.to/3CthFs4 (B&H)
•ElectroVoice RE20: https://geni.us/re20black
•Lewitt LCT 240: https://geni.us/4fww (Amazon)
•Neat King Bee II: https://geni.us/pwIB (Sweetwater)
•Rode NT-1: https://geni.us/fRIqw (Amazon)
•Rode Procaster: https://geni.us/swprocaster (Sweetwater)

🔉Here’s the podcast episode where I chose these specific mics from a larger group:

It’s probably also important to emphasize that “best” microphone is VERY subjective. It’s always a personal choice for everyone, and what’s best for me in my environment may not give the same results for someone else in a difference setup.

It's my goal for each video to be interesting/helpful/atleastmildlyentertaining, but I'm an enthusiast and not an expert. You can take a look at my About page to know more about my background, both personally and professionally: https://himynameistom.com/about

My channel is open and welcoming to people of all races, ages, genders, and orientations. I’m glad you’re here.

New videos are uploaded every Thursday morning, and more often when possible!
