hey wassup guys is marcus around here from mkbhd and welcome to another full review video this is going to be the hardware review of this um this sound tech gm3 gooseneck desktop microphone by Alta Edge now if you haven't already watched my unboxing video this is going to be a video response to the unboxing video so if you want to go check that out you can go ahead and see what's in the box see my first impressions of it but now that I've gotten to use it for a little bit I've had a little bit different impressions but yet you might want to watch full videos just so you can see what I think so here is the microphone itself it is a gooseneck you do have a tilt or a pivot one here and one here so you do have two ways to a tilt or pivot your microphone so to get you know optimized to be closest to your mouth or closest to your face when you're speaking it is a really good quality microphone I'll give you a brief little hardware tour of it obviously because it's such a great microphone but what I want to get into is actually just the overall build to this so I'm actually going to bring the camera down here and right now obviously I do not have a tripod but this will have to do at the bottom here is the the actual base the base is really heavy actually it's made of it feels like a metal but I'm still not quite sure what the base is made of but it's a very solid build on the back we can see our microphone connection so this is where it connects if I go ahead and unplug this here it's the it's a stereo microphone plug I do have a little time to take this out but it's a stereo microphone plug as you can see there are three pins on the inside so it's a very solid you know good build cable you just go ahead and attach that and it fits just fine so I actually have this this cable here wired to go down go down underneath I guess and come up and plug into the microphone part of my laptop which works out very very well and I usually have a microphone base right here for my tutorials in front of the webcam of the PC and the microphone right here so our setup does work very nicely it is a nice long cord you can see the exact length of the cord in the description but it is a pretty pretty big desktop microphone and if it's sitting on my desk like this I will take the cord and you know kind of wrap it down and make sure it's pretty much all the way out of sight and then I will take the microphone itself and put it on the edge of the desk and use the actual the ability to tilt this microphone which is so great and just total tilt it into the position and it's ready to go so um you can see I have a little foam cover on it it does come with two foam covers in the box so um it does do a good job of preventing like excess noise if you're doing a tutorial and you're close to the microphone but I think the real feature of the mic is the quality of it so what I'm going to do is switch the source from this digital camera to the webcam of my PC and we'll be able to hear exactly how good this quality is and I'm still changing a teeny bit with the settings so basically I think I've got it down so let's go ahead and switch sources here and you can hear just how good the quality of this microphone really is so let's go okay guys I've just switched over from the digital camera audio here this terrible microphone or terrible camera right here the microphone on this camera is very very small it's obviously not very good but you may or may not be able to hear I hope you do that this the quality of this microphone is really really good I've been using this for the past about three tutorials or so and I mean it's been really impressive I've gotten comments as far as that that that microphone is really really good a lot of people like it so I'm definitely gonna be using this as opposed to the built-in webcam microphone on my laptop as this does obviously Trump that the stereo quality is very good the little foam piece on it definitely keeps the sound nice and even no popping or clicking or anything and it is a unidirectional microphone so you're not going to really have very much background noise so if I do talk over here notice how the sound got a lot a lot different when I moved away from the microphone but as I'm talking like this it's just really easy very very clear to understand what I'm saying so I'm going to give this microphone a generous nine out of ten I have been nothing but impressed with this microphone the only thing is that the the gooseneck is just a little bit too small if I mean right now it's I think it's 16 inch yeah it's a 16 inch adjustable neck because I'm looking at the specs over here on this monitor it's a 16 inch adjust microphone and you can adjust it pretty much as far as you need to but just for my needs if it was just a little bit more flexible possibly the entire gooseneck I don't know but yeah I give it a some 9 out of 10 this is the highest rating I've given any hardware so far so I definitely suggest you go check it out the link is in the description um this this is good stuff it's it's right now I and a previous recording of this review I I said that this was the best microphone that you can get the best quality microphone that you can get for under under $100 so definitely if you're looking into buying a microphone for tutorials for vocals for singing for anything like that this is the microphone you want to check out and that's basically it so thanks for watching this microphone overall hardware review I hope you enjoyed it a lot more tutorials and ideas that I have like I have a lot of tutorials to do and I also got three packages today in the mail for unboxings and also I have about two more reviews to film for you guys so obviously if you haven't subscribed already you're gonna want to do that and that's basically it so thanks for watching this HD video um that's basically it for you guys thanks for watching peace
