512 Audio Skylight Mic Review / Test

Today I review a new streaming mic from 512 audio, the Skylight. This thing is built incredibly well and offers a more mid forward sound with a smooth texture to the mic which is very pleasing. If you don’t like mid forward mics or if you have an overly nasally voice, chances are you’re not going to be too into this mic.
