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.

Today I review a new dynamic broadcast mic from Beyerdynamic, the M70 Pro X. I also compare this to the Shure SM7b, Electrovoice RE20, and a lot more. This mic has a dominant top end with a weak low end and it comes with excellent accessories.

Today I review another budget mic from Behringer which looks quite a lot like the Rode NT1a. This costs $120, has a great set of accessories, and offers a very modern sound meaning a weighty low end and a dominant top end which gives it a slight v-shape. The top end does come across a bit harsh, but for the price it’s not horrible.
