The chart you used is for the MTP440DM

Not really a fair test. Your voice sounds like a professional broadcaster. It would take effort for you to make a 58 sound bad.

我拥有同样一只宾得A85 1.4 非常好的镜头。也有F 85 1.4。虽然都是★镜，但我更喜欢A。感觉成像更结实。

A lot of products are made by contract with independent Chinese factories. Sometimes, I think when the contract supply is met, and the factory still has excess parts, they bootleg them and sell them on eBay as knockoffs. I had a fake beta58a. It sounded very close to the real thing. The blue band on the grille was chinch and quickly fell off. Also, it had a slight petroleum smell.

Great video! The Sennheiser sounds a lot more like a dynamic mic compared to the earthworks

What I'm noticing is that the Earthworks mic sounds like it's adding unnatural more eq, especially on the low end. The Rode mic sounds electronic and hollow. The SE mic sounds the most natural. You called it "Up There"? I call it most natural. You are just used to your Earthworks sound that you may be used to it supposed sounding like your own voice, but is actually more modified sound.

Escencialmente lo que dice… primero aprendan a cantar y luego deciden el micrófono…

no weed before testing please😊

Anton my wife uses a Nuemann kms 105 for live performances as well in our studio when we do acoustic stuff. A sound engineer told me these high end mics boost the highs and he was fighting it all night, and we've been dealing with some feedback issues and cutting above the band. We are a 5 piece country band. In the studio I don't hear much for added highs, I actually hear a pretty flat mic which takes very little eq. I love it, my big obstacle is the feedback. Would we be better to use a preamp live, I'm looking at the portable neve single mic pre or is there a dynamic mic you would recommend? She has a very powerful voice meaning she projects without a mic better than most with a mic. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Here is our recent track you can hear her voice. Thanks!

That was really interesting information. ChatGPT did agree with this theory, if that adds any value. I guess one could do it while driving 😅 About nose, I did find Wello2 on sale and that is really interesting machine also. I did have trouble to breath trough nose, but excersising with this device it activated my nose muscles and breathing muscles. And as extra it moisturises the lungs and nose. I don't know about UK, but here in Finland the air is really dry at winter...

Transforming! Want to go native.... Dancing. Duties call. Love you,

Love it - to pieces!

Your microphone videos are great, but I also really enjoy your non-mic videos, like this one! I'm also a big fan of your shoe videos. Very rare to find someone going into that much detail about shoes. Hum on you crazy diamond.

Thank you. I am patiently waiting for your evaluation on the AKG d330bt microphone because I purchased one, by a funny coincidence, just the day you showed it. I would like to know what you think, I have an idea but I would like to know yours. Hello, Anton.

That is a beautiful mic. The logo being engraved instead of printed really adds to the sense of quality.

th-cam.com/users/shortsMs2TzE-DQK0?si=aXGHIieWN-WIMb0C I like the sm7b but I actually used this as a prob in that video because of the look. I recorded on an Audio Teachnica AT4050, only because I didn’t have that Earthworks in your video 😄

Just returned my Nexadyne capsule and bought Earthworks 117. Tested it on a different vocals in live situations and every time replaced it with other capsules - 58, B58, V7, 87... Just sounds not musical and weird.

Cool examination. The capsule and switch assembly all comes out of the body by just pulling it out, when the grill is off.

Beautiful design and construction. Can't wait to hear it.

I love AKG mics.

Amazon has a good deal for three of them, classic, X5 Pro, and Steel Bow. Deferent sizes are nice to have.

When they made stuff to last.

THANK YOU ANTON!! it was me that asked you to review this one, this is the first overview of "The Abba Microphone" on TH-cam 🙏

Any time a good product changes for the worse, it's always to increase profits. Sacrifice quality to cut manufacturing costs in half, leave the price tag the same. People will still buy it even if they know what's going on, because they are too lazy to boycott or do the research needed to find a better deal. They're familiar with the brand and to the untrained ear it sounds close enough, so they'll just go with the easiest choice and buy it.

I've had both, for live vocals as a rock singer. I asked the Front of House Mixer, which sounds better in the audience. Every time the say the 'old' MD 431 sounds better. After a while I sold the new one.

There is no fake e865 . There are fake Shure beta 58a/sm7b/KSM8/9, Sen e845, e945, Neumann kms 105. Electro voice re20 was never replicated.

Beta 58a was manufactured in Mexico, and since 2017 in China. Both had gold-plated pins. Literally, there is no original beta 58a on planet Earth without gold-plated pins. And I repeat, 15 years ago there were also a lot of fakes.

Sorry Anton that was me that asked that question a while back about the Sennheiser MD-431mk-2 glad you kinda agree it looks "a bit cheap" but on a closer inspection it does seem to look quite well made

Hi please test sennheiser xs1

The USA 58 definitely sounds more open and just better than the newer one.

Could you do a comparison of the Sennheiser e835 and the se v7? I’m curious to see how those compare in sound in one of your reviews.

It's always super interesting to watch your videos, Anton. Thanks and happy new year!

In order to reduce production costs by means of fewer components or a new less complicated construction facilitating automated assembly.

Great review as always, thank you Anton, see if you can get your hands on a Telefunken M80 as well as an M81, i put my money on you loving the M81 if you like flattish warm mics, plus they are available in pretty colors. I love the M80, its my first choice typically these days, 2nd choice is the V7 MK, 3rd choice Senny 935.

Why? As always: money! Nothing new under the sun.

I have both versions of the Shure Beta 58 and I TOTALLY AGREE!! the 1st version does sound better

Very good review and analysis of this handling problem. I work in the video/film business as a production sound mixer. The biggest challenge with using a handheld boom pole with sensitive condenser mics is handling and cable noise. Good shockmounts are essential, and there have been many attempts to design effective mounts. With more and more boom mic setups using wireless transmission, mechanical noise from the cable have been eliminated but I still wear gloves to dampen boom handling noise. Could Michael Jackson been on to something with his gloves?

I have 58’s from the 80’s, 00’s, and 20’s. They are all different. Thanks for all you videos, and happy new year to You.

It’s extremely doubtful that any of the three would be clones. They all are legit. The old USA one is consistent with mine which are from the ‘70s and I’ve refurbished. The Beta 58 does have a transformer, but it’s in the handle, as with the others. The windscreen/grill is actually very specific as it forms an acoustic tuned chamber that does affect the response curve. The non-Shure grill would definitely change the sound. If you CAREFULLY open up the handle, there is a manufacturing date code inside. Your thought that the oldest one has a more “open sound” is true with mine too and is consistent with a lot of other people’s observations. My oldest first-gen ones are from 1975 and 1978. As yours has the internal impedance switch, I think yours is pre-1982. (I’d have to Google the year that change was made). The wear on the handle is from someone using the microphone who had rings on their hands and also used a lot of lotion. The nicks are from the rings, the corrosion in the finish is from the lotion. The miracle is that Shure has been able to keep the microphones so incredibly consistent over 50+ years in spite of the repeated changes in manufacturing, components and design.

The SM58 USA does sound clearer.

Happy New Year! I have always been interested in the original Beta 57 and the newer model, if there’s a difference. I just always liked the design of the original Beta 57…

Happy new year Anton !

Thank you for posting this information. You made a complicated subject easy to understand.

Glad that you’ve found a more sustainable way of making mic review videos. Really enjoy your content

PG sounds different to SM! 👍

You made me smile XDDDDD AND LAUGHHH LOLLL

Always a pleasure to hear it from the Man

It seemed to inspire some articulation for Mr. Manual. Again, great review. Love your work.

Nice oris!
