  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ม.ค. 2018
  • This week, we compare one of the most classic microphones of all time to a $20 microphone from Amazon. We had some surprising results bruuuuuuuuuhhh
    $20 Microphone: amzn.to/2EoqOUt
    $12500 Microphone: vintageking.com/akg-c12-multi...
    Thanks to Andrew Huang, I was heavily inspired by his video: • $22 MICROPHONE VS $360...
    Thanks to Eric Johansson at Revenue Music Group, who both mixed the mic samples and participated in the video!

      @@Newlife-ol6pk Not exactly, you can hear the difference pretty clearly with 300-500 usd headphones and from my experience hearing this comparison with an hd800 the difference is clear, the reduced harshness and increased detail that the higher priced microphone pulls is incredible, the 20 usd microphone sounds too good for its price but it falls short in audio resolution as it supposed to. There will be diminishing returns so probably after 300usd the differences will be more in how the sound is captured(warmer-cooler, etc). Hearing the differences require trained ears as seeing differences in color calibrated displays required trained eyes, most people will say they are equal because they are used to filtered and low quality media.

Why don't you go ahead and buy physical copies of every song you listen to, those must have far better quality to spotify.

  • @dimtraveler589
    @dimtraveler589 3 ปีที่แล้ว +33

    These cheap microphones contain 1/2" decent electret capsule and a preamplifier which was incorrectly designed. The preamplifier causes distortion, but when a couple of resistors are replaced, these distortions disappear. It also has no damper on the capsule mount which resonates at ~500Hz which creates undesired peaks in frequency response. Removing plastic mount and replacing it with the foam rubber mount makes it OK. The remaining resonances are from the metal grille and can be reduced by placing rubber rings in the middle. After that, the microphone would compare more favorably to more expensive models. The only problem is the background noise which is ~30dB vs ~18dB on perfect condenser microphones. With that, you can get 70-80dB dynamic range recording voice and instruments, and maybe more for drums and trumpets. The max SPL is ~120dB on both (with fixed preamp). But BTW, mine was $12.

      It's always how you intend to use your gear. The cheap Sennheiser and other AKG's are good for the price, but when you really want to work with.. .huh huh... no. In this example, we don't know the outboard and how it's set up, that would be important to know. Most of the listeners are listening through their pc speakers, that are mostly rubbish. The take where recorded in a cabin, that generally aren't the greatest solution for a splendid sound.
      In general, all those super cheap microphones have metallic sybillant, with a good chunk of noise and a medium puking all other the place.
      The C12 is a tool for professionnals, it's reliable, proven, and it's the reason for this price.
      But please. Remember that you have two extremes in the microphone world. A lot of microphones in the 600 to 1'800$ range are pretty serious stuff if you want to work.

      I did it.. If you wear headphones that are fairly balanced you can hear the difference . It's very obvious .. The cheap one is a bit sibilant while the other mic has a very warm feel to it that is fairly relaxing to hear .. Basically what you would expect by an industry standard microphone . Really high quality . I don't think my semi trained ears would be able to tell the difference between that and a Neumann u87 though ..

      It's very sad that you believe that. The "good" quality of the cheap mic is only because of the very expensive and good preamp he is using, if he had tested the mic with the normal mic input of the computer or an cheap preamp it would sound very very different. (Why do you think people buy microphones for 2000$ and more if a 20$ mic sounds "almost the same" ) (trust me I'm an Audioengeniere)

    Honestly, if the cheaper mic had a slightly thicker diaphragm, I feel that would potentially fix the distortion issue. Aside from that, that was pretty damn cool. I've just recently gotten into school for audio recording, and we kind of blew through the mic section, so getting to actually sit down and listen to "Cheaper vs. Expensive" videos and opinions has shown me a clear correlation. Sometimes, it just depends on the person recording, and the person being recorded. Do I see it finding its way into professional studios? Potentially. Do I feel it might serve a better purpose for up-and-coming podcasters and talk-show TH-camrs? Somewhat. At the end of the day, you use whatever mic you have for whatever purpose you deem necessary, and I'm not gonna lie; I'm strongly inclined to buy the Neewer now.

      @@gorillanbombyoza I can weigh in on this actually. Basically, if people pay you to provide them with content, you (in United States Copyright law) lose the right to it as it becomes a "Work for Hire" situation. This grants the purchaser the rights, and even if you state it isn't a work for hire they can win in court. There are also cases where you can sign over the rights and licensing so your creation is out of your hands. I have seen cases on TH-cam where an artist and the work he made for someone else ended up getting him in trouble when he used it on his own channel for a different project, however, he was definitely morally in the right.

      But think about it, when someone goes to a studio to record a song, the goal is to broadcast it to the world through the radio, TV, TH-cam, Spotify, whatever. The target audience is never going to have equipment like that, so there's not much of a point of having it at that kind of quality.
      Either way you could hear the difference between these microphones. The cheap one started to sound harsh and distort during the loud parts. I think if you compared a 2K microphone compared to the 12.5K one you'd probably have a hard time finding a difference in quality. This video is basically the cheapest of the cheapest vs extremely expensive.

      That's pretty much it. You still hear that the AKG is way more dynamic, and the cheap one got some annoying frequencies which are a pain in the ass to get rid off. There are better and "payable" options out there than that cheap one in this video. Heck, you could just take a SM58 and be fine.

      I have the same mic too. It sounds pretty nice for $20, but I really preffer to buy an expensive one because my voice doesn´t sound deeper enough as in real life (And because of the white noise xD).
      But not gonna lie, if somebody wants to buy it, I totally recommend it. Obviously it´s necessary to have a Phantom Power :p

      @@sadiqayan For gaming... Mmmm maybe. If it's not a problem to have the mic in your front, yeah. But actually for gaming, the gaming headsets mic works just fine.
      Have in count that you must put the mic on an arm or something to hold it so you can keep it away from the keyboard and mouse but close to your mouth. Also you must connect the mic with a Phantom Power so it can works properly (That means more cables). If you want the mic just for gaming, I wouldn't recommend it, it's an unnecessary spend (Literally a headset mic is just fine for gaming). But if you also want to transmit what you're playing on livestream, then yes, I really recommend to buy it.
      High quality for a very low price.
