Today I review the brand new broadcast dynamic microphone from Universal Audio, the SD-1. This mic has a little bit of weight in the bass, the mids are not too forward but offer a clear sound, while the top end is fairly lively for a dynamic.

Microphone Used: sE Electronics Dynacaster
Today I review the new mic from sE Electronics, the Dynacaster. This is an extremely versatile mic that has multiple EQ switches and most importantly a built in dynamite mic activator / preamp. As far as a general purpose studio microphone, this thing is very appealing.

oday I review one of the best budget microphones available, the samson Q2u. The microphone is a plug and play mic that sounds pretty great for the price. It does have it's faults being that it suffers from plosives, sibilance, and handling noise. If you can't deal with those issues I recommend looking elsewhere ,but if you are able to deal with those issues you can get some great recordings for a $50-$70 mic.
