THANK YOU FOR THIS REVIEW! helped me! got this mic & you just gained a sub! :)
I'm glad you liked it, this is probably one of the best sounding cheap microphones out there I mean you could buy a newer NW 800 for like 20 bucks but it sounds like you put the microphone under the couch cushions, sit on it and then talk through it so something like this is definitely a super good deal
Great review 👍 & quality of testing. So good I just skipped back to your multi mic review vid & web cam reviews. I DO need a close to 4k clip on vid/webcam 4 biz/travel use. 🤔 There's a flat small new 1 being advertised on Amazon that I need to check, keep skipping past the advert. IMO this mic is VERY directional & honestly I liked how it sounded up close the best. If it came with a Halo mount......& 4 me, a bit too large for my carry on setup but if I did home pod studio absolutely.
Apologies. Didn't notice the SM58 box in the background before. So you definitely know the industry commercial standard & what it sounds like 👌. I've got newer/older multiple SM58s left over from 🎵 days. Pretty much standard for everything from DJ to Pro Sound Reinforcement Co's as they've always been bulletproof/drop proof on/off stage work for me. Worst I've done in 7+ years of use is a mild dent on 1 metal mesh screen/mic head. Still worked perfectly after. Just replaced the shield.
IMO I'd be interested to hear if there's a new inexpensive , not SM58, musical vocal mic you'd recommend? Or have tested? Maybe the $200 Samsung you tested? I'd like a lighter, smaller, cheaper? Vocal open condenser mic, especially w/a plastic body for travel as I sample in the wild & bass/drum lines are so often sampled, & can be anything after warping/gating/effects. Plastic body doesn't matter to me as that mic wouldn't be subject to much abuse. I'm surprised you don't use a "spit/pop" screen to help with sibilance while testing. I'm always looking/interested in everything latest tech, & SM58's + wireless pack or cords still weigh a ton to carry around IMO. USB kinda changed everything. Today I'm even surprised @ how good lapel/BT mics are. Used 1 to pick up/do ASMR recently (wasn't carrying anything else that day outdoors) & was surprised @ how well it came out. Sigh, it's a never ending new gear cycle isn't it? You're right though, $40-$50 is a ridiculously low entry price for a decent mic BTW. Like the cost of a good pizza or dinner. Again, my only concern with anything IDK the name brand of is longevity. Testing 20k+ mah Power Banks & BT speakers from Amazon for personal use, I'm a huge fan of the ANKER brand from CH (bigger than Sony now). Bought 4 different MIChina brand PB's with incredibly disappointing results. H8 returning stuff!
Thanks again for the reviews.
Hey hey, there's so much here I'm having a hard time remembering all of it to reply to but, ankerr makes awesome stuff, I have quite a few high-end microphones from Shure, road, Neumann, SE electronics Sennheiser and so on and I've had a lot of these budget companies sending me their microphones to review and honestly when you're looking at something that's like 50 bucks or 70 bucks, if it sounds nice and works well it's hard to give it a bad review because if you need to you can just plug it into your computer with a USB and you don't need to go out and spend 200 bucks on an audio interface so it'll get you off to a really good start for not a lot of money and anybody who's just doing TH-cam or podcasting or something kind of those sound more than good enough, at least some of the newer USB microphones, used to be most USB microphone sound pretty lousy but they just keep getting better which is nice
As far as recording music I mean DSM 57 is probably one of the most popular instrument microphones and the SM58 is one of the most popular live vocal microphones but any good pro quality microphone is capable of recording music, for example a recording studio may put an SM57 up to a guitar cabinet and do a test recording and then they might put a SE electronics SE8 up to that scene guitar cabinet and maybe they'll throw a Neumann u87 up against it and I'll do some test recordings and figure out which one seems to sound best for that current guitar tone but I think you said you were looking for something small, a lot of small diaphragm condensers are very small and sound very good, they're a little bit more accurate and pick up detail a little quicker but since they're small diaphragm instead of large diaphragm condensers they may not pick up quite as much low end but something like the SE electronics SE7 or SE8 could be something to look at, but you would definitely need a really good pop filter if you were singing into one of these small diaphragm condensers, there are a lot smaller than your average handheld microphonec or a large diaphragm condenser but there's a lot of companies that make those little small diaphragm condensers, some of them can get pretty darn expensive some of them are affordable, I don't do a lot with recording music these days, but I used to work with music here and there I mean my buddy used to own a recording studio around how about sometimes and I ran sound for bands here and there, always record up my own music back in the day, I played in some bands and all kinds of stuff so I've been into audio for a long time,, so I on my way around audio stuff pretty good I mean would it comes to the real technical details like how ohms and transistors and this and circuit boards work well I don't know much about that stuff I mean I know some guys who build their own microphones and they know every little thing about the electronics and how it works but I never really got into that kind of stuff, would be fun but I don't have that good of a memory lol
Great Video! Do you think it’s better than the Tonor you reviewed? I’m between the two of them
between this and the toner, there are two very different microphones they give you very different sounds, This is what I consider a cheapie microphone that gives you a somewhat natural sound, I think whatever we recorded with it sounds pretty similar to the original sound source. The tonor has that darker broadcast/podcast type of tone, it cost a little more and does not come with the boom arm. Jen are you going to pay like 15 to 20 bucks for one of those basic boom arms so if you're buying this with the kit it's like paying 20 bucks for the arm and 15 bucks for the microphone or something along the lines of that. This one distorts a little bit When you get louder and the toner probably won't, The toner sounds a bit hollow and weird if you get too close to it, sounds nice if you back it away a little bit, they're both budget microphones, I'm sure there will be more reviews of this one coming out soon so my advice is listen to as many reviews of both as you can and figure out which one seems to sound the best to you on the most people's voices, I mean for under a hundred bucks there's a lot of good choices. For under 50 bucks you're not going to find a whole lot so if you're just looking to spend as little as possible and sound nice I think this little microphone is a good option. My advice is figure out what's the most you want to spend and then start watching as many reviews as possible for microphones under that price range and see one you think is going to fit your needs, but honestly if I couldn't spend very much money and I got this kit I could easily make this work I mean 35 bucks for a little microphone and a boom arm is crazy good especially since it sounds pretty decent.
@@dannylightning-audio-reviews thanks a ton for take the time to respond! I appreciate the help!
You're welcome, if you're on the fence you could always buy both if you're an Amazon shopper send back the one you don't like I mean normally they're pretty good about letting you return things with not too many questions asked, if you're willing to drop it off at like a UPS place or a UPS drop box normally they won't charge you shipping to send it back and you're welcome, the worst part about trying to find a microphone is finding the one that works with your voice still watching as many reviews it's possible on all those different voices can sometimes give you an idea on which one you think might work better for you
Good Review
Thanks, when its inexpensive, sounds nice and works well, i think that deservers a good review.
I got this mic a couple days ago but i found it to be too quiet, i had it fully maxed on the gain knob as well as on windows settings but still the volume was low, since i have a quiet voice and don't have a mic arm(so the mic is quite far from me) what would you recommend for around the same price as the AM8?
A dynamic microphone is not designed to be used from a distance, a dynamic microphone should be between 3 and 6 in away from your mouth and it should definitely be up on a boom arm which you can get for about 20 bucks. There are some huge advantages to having a dynamic microphone and having it a couple inches in front of your mouth on a boom arm
If you truly need to have the microphone further away you would probably want to look at a large diaphragm condenser or a small diaphragm condenser but the thing is for best results you still want to have that about 4:00 to 6 in for best results you still want to have that between 4 and 8 in away from your mouth, When you get the microphone say an arm length are two arms lengths away and you're running a condenser Mic You're still going to have to crank the gain up really high and it's going to pick up all the room reverb it's going to pick up every mouse click every keyboard click every noise in the background which can lead to really terrible audio quality, This is why I'm recording studios or any type of professional audio room they will sound treat the walls the ceilings the floors to absorb all the reverb and some of them will even soundproof the room so no sound can get in so the condenser microphones not picking up all the outside noises, a good condenser microphone will pick up everything. I feel like your best bet is get yourself a cheap boom arm and clamp it to your desk or maybe even pick up a floor standing microphone stand with adjustable length, I'm not sure what your seating situation looks like but one of the other would be a great choice, I can't really think of a good USB condenser microphone that you're going to finding the $50 price range. You could pick up a audio interface in between 50 and 100 bucks and a SE electronics SE7 small diaphragm condenser microphone for about 99 bucks and a XLR cable, I think audio Technica makes a really nice AT-2020 USB condenser microphone for around $99 but you might want to check out this video right here which will kind of demonstrate what I'm talking about about the audio quality I mean this will just show you how much less reverb a dynamic will pick up compared to a condenser, your room probably won't be as bad as this but it could be if your room is really empty and not carpet it or anything th-cam.com/video/19Nw5KvpSkE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Dr6iTJjZMo8_ienP
