2016-12-21
what's up guys it's after tax source and welcome to another day of 12 days of tech I've already lost track what they were on this episode we're gonna be focusing on microphones and actually did two videos on the best budget microphones on the $50 so if you guys want to hear some samples and stuff like that make sure to watch those videos I'll have moving below so starting off the video we're gonna be taking a look at some really budget microphones as always we're gonna stop in the bottom and make it to the top the first cut my attention because of its rating this is probably one of the best microphones that cost around twelve dollars it's a unidirectional dynamic microphone that comes with a 3.5 millimeter plug a desk stand as well as a 6.3 millimeter adapter if you guys want to plug it into an amplifier in addition to a one meter cable that is permanently attached it also has a power switch to turn it off while not in use for this price you can't really beat it but again guys make sure to check out some reviews before you pull the trigger the Caddy 37 microphone is a really nice mic that comes with a plethora of colors that you can choose from it has a cardioid pickup pattern that minimizes background noise and isolates the main sound source it also comes with a bass reduction switch that reduces room noise and it's fully compatible with both Mac and Windows it also comes with a detachable USB cable and a small stand that can be adjusted to your desire next up is possibly the most popular microphone out there the blue snowball ice it has a smaller minimalistic design with a detachable USB cable and a desktop stand as a custom condenser capsule that offers crystal-clear audio for things like Skype Facebook calls discord and also YouTube videos as well it doesn't need a software for either Mac or Windows just plug in the microphone and it automatically works overall this is a really solid microphone and I recommend it for anybody who wants to do voiceovers or start a new YouTube channel that's on a budget the next one doesn't look like your typical mic so the Samson meteor microphone has an exceptionally different design it comes in three colors chrome brushed nickel and titanium black the microphone does come with a USB cable a headphone volume a headphone jack so you can listen to the sound you're recording an LED to show when the mic is in use a mic mute button and of course a built-in stand for $100 there is simply no other mic that can beat the blue yet in terms of plug-and-play it has an exceptional sound quality with a really nice design and a lot of colors to choose from it also comes with a stand and a USB cable it comes in cardioid bi-directional omnidirectional and stereo recording patterns you can select from its multiple recording patterns whichever one suits you the best it also has gain control a mute button and a zero latency headphone output for this price you can't go wrong with this microphone for anyone that has a little bit more to spend the audio technica at2020 enter microphone for smooth natural sound and low noise also coming with a free pop filter it also has a custom shock mount to provide isolation as a high SPL handling and a wider dynamic range to provide unmatched versatility and a cardioid pickup pattern that reduces pickup sounds from the side rear and of course improving isolation altogether this mic does not come with a USB cable so you will need an audio interface to get started but if you already have one or want to up your sound recording game this is the microphone to go for I've also linked the Focusrite other interface that I use for my videos down below in case anyone is interested in checking that out and finally for all my ballers out there look no more the rode nt1-a anniversary edition microphone is the mic for you rode is well known for the exceptional microphones and their sound quality and design this mic is no exception this package comes with a shock mount the microphone itself a pop filter an XLR cable and a 10 year warranty this mic is the best microphone you can buy on this list if price is a matter to you and you are looking to buy the best look no further then this is definitely for you this mic made my list because it's one of the best out there for voiceovers so that is it for this episode of twelve days of tech if there's a category you guys want to see next make sure to let me know in the comments below I know I'm like a few days behind already I'm trying to do as much as I can before Christmas thank you guys so much for watching and I'll see you in the next video
