Mic Shootout - Shure Sm57 vs. 17 affordable microphones | Distorted Guitar
After browsing online and searching for various microphone comparison sources on distorted guitar I decided to do a test of my own. It was a great exercise to test all those microphones side by side. A very nice learning experience.
All the microphones used in this video are very affordable. Prices ranging from 20€ to 500€. My favorite was probably Beyerdynamic m201n. Which was your favorite?
When changing microphones on the cabinet, I tried to be as precise as possible. Microphone capsules pointed at the same spot on the grill (where the dust cap meets the cone). The distance between the microphone and the cabinet grill was about 1.5cm. I've also tried to match all the volumes as close as possible.
Gear used : Roland g-202 - BAE PDI direct box - RME FF400 - modded passive Radial Pro RMP reamp box - Sovtek Mig100h - Orange 4x12 cabinet (UK made Celestion Vintage 30's)
Unfortunately I was unable to find the schematics for the Radial Pro RMP mod, but you can check this thread on Andy Sneap forum: www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/threads/radial-prormp-modification.568415/

If get the chance try the sE RNR1 ribbon mic, a dream on cabs and as overheads, I use them on vocals too, a dream mic
I really wish you did a more detailed rmp mod so quick i could not take a usable screenshot and the forum link its dead
I have gotten really interesting results mixing a 219 and a 57 also the behringer ecm800 placed correctly can give you very good results since is almost flat two other mics i was kind of impressed for budget recording are audio technica atm 2035 and behringer c2 sdc check them out on guitar the 57 is boring and thin
Great video! Thanks!
The audix adx-51 sounded really good. So did the superlux.
I was listening to this shootout and was surprised at how balanced they both sounded. I was especially disappointed in the Audix i5. Anyway since I own both the ADX51 and the superlux, I'll be trying them out on some blues guitars and also some heavy stoner guitars in a live setting. I'm wondering how feedback resistent they are on a smaller stage with wedges though. But the sound is so balanced, I think they take minor EQ tweaks really well. For the heavy stoner guitars I always struggle with the aggressiveness of a 57.
The Oktava 319 😍😍😍 and the Rode K2 presented here as completely mix-ready mics that could be used without having to blend with another mic. People need to stop lying to themselves about 57s--they really aren't that damn great. The Beyer m201n did a better job at what the 57 is trying to do. Once upon a time, I had the 319, but mainly used it for vocals, I had no idea it was that good on electric guitars. It fit exactly like I mix guitars. Had the punch and clarity in the lows, clear-yet-balanced mids and a darker hi-mid so didn't sound shrill or stomp on the bass guitar "clank" frequencies. Kind of a boutiquey mix.
Nice shootout, but I don't understand why the tracks are stereo. There is a lot of ambience, and you don't mention using reverb. They all seem to sound a little strange (phase issues?) when summed to mono. Thanks.
Great job!
fantastic video man!
Thanks a lot!
Ummm... e609?
Unfortunately I dont own one at the moment. But I am constantly in hunting for the 409. So when it happens there will probably be a part 2 of this video.
@@vicariousrecordings7742, 407 and 416 use the same capsule and give a similar sound to 409
something funny is happening with Fathead band time link in video description
Thanks, didn't notice that before. Fixed :)
something funny is happening with MK219 raw ...
Great job, subscribed ;).
Good work
