No offense, but you make every mic sound great. I can't tell the difference between a $50 mic and a $1000 mic with you. Kudos though. LOL

@SPANISHFOREAGLE 5 лет назад

I was thinking the same thing :(

@MEGATestberichte 5 лет назад

Haha so true. Maybe a 2$ mini Fisher-Price Mic can destroy that perfect voice :)

He always says your space is more important than any mic!

@SylvainDuford Год назад

I think that Lewitt is a real winner at that price.

@johnheiser2604 2 года назад

Mike, both are great and very smooth. I do feel the Rode has less high end for that "broadcast" style sound. The Lewitt whilst similar does cut through the top end with clarity without screaming at you. I enjoyed this very much. Thanks.

@trevor3320 6 лет назад

Mike I can’t describe how your voice wraps my attention. Every time I see your name on a nosleep story I know I won’t be able to stop listening even for a second. So glad that you have a RU-vid so I can hear even more from you. Keep up the awesome work my friend!

@HellaDisjointed 6 лет назад

oh wow i love the lewitt! i'm starting to become a fanboy of theirs. The treble on it is so smooth, and the bass is very focused. Maybe not as great of a voiceover mic as the procaster but man i think it'd be a great sm7b budget alternative for singing vocals.

The popfilter on the Rode looks like a BSW RePop.

Hi Mike. I have the Rode and the Lewitt is on backorder. Damned supply chain issues of 2022. Can't wait to try it. I have the Lewitt LCT 220 and love it. Thanks for the great videos.

@mikehatak4677 6 лет назад

That looks like the pop filter for the Electrovoice mics. I have an RE320 that I use for broadcasting purposes and I have that pop filter for it. I searched and searched and that was the only one I was able to find for them.

@Jangogigalo 6 лет назад

The beginning got me!!! Was wondering what happened to the sound lol!

@RedBearAK 6 лет назад

I do hear a strong proximity effect on the Lewitt, at least compared to the Rode. But to be fair you're an inch further away from the Rode because of the pop filter. And it still pops even with the pop filter. The Lewitt makes out pretty well in this comparison.

@Tysto 4 года назад

This convinced me to buy the Lewitt for podcasting. Great sound at a great price. I've just tried it with a PreSonus 24C, & yeah, I’ll probably be buying a Fethead or HD-1 soon.

@djkaoz 6 лет назад

Bought the Lewitt today.. they should let you keep it... Good Video..

@PileOfEmptyTapes 6 лет назад

Not a real surprise, the Procaster is an announcer mic, the Lewitt a typical vocal mic. Apples and oranges in a way, their frequency responses are tweaked differently. Where something like the Procaster has a bass bump in the frequency response for that _phat radio voice_ (which in this case may be too much of a good thing), vocal mics tend to have reduced level in this area for better clarity, no matter what manufacturer. It would be interesting to hear the Lewitt next to an SM58, Sennheiser e835 or e9xx or other typical vocal mics.

@AaronFrankel-j 4 года назад

The pop filter on the Rode Procaster is a BSW REPOP. It is intended for an RE20 or RE320 and sells for $59. I have a couple and use them with my RE20 and RE320. They're nice and look good on camera. So, nice for Podcasters posting to RU-vid.

@taylorsharp5928 4 года назад

@gnzllr 6 лет назад

@ToastyHeresStreamArchive 4 года назад

How do you think the Lewitt stands up to the Like of the Shure SM58? That feels like it would be the direct competitor at the price point.

@RespawnPoints 5 лет назад

That rode Microphone has gone up in price a lot since I bought mine. I bought mine for AUD$150 (USD$108) in June. The price now is AUD$250 (USD$180).

@cgonzt5636 2 года назад

Lewitt sounds clear. But I wonder why they put so many of those quality standard markings 😂

@bowdenprod1055 6 лет назад

I find that Rode offers a little more on the high end frequency wise, I could see why some people may not like that especially if they're prone to harsh sibilance in their voice, but I think it would pair up great with someone with a lower voice.

@j.du6 4 года назад

The less expensive 250 has a crispier sound and higher frequency response

@Grifter 3 года назад

I really like the small pop filter on that microphone. Trying to find a 3rd party one i can buy.

@TonyCassara 5 лет назад

If they only loaned you the microphone then, no, it's not sponsored content. If they paid you or gave you another form of compensation then yes it is sponsored content.

@MarkGFL 6 лет назад

I have a Procaster and that boominess you mentioned is exactly the reason it stays in the drawer and doesn't get used so much! Its really apparent in my voice and makes it harder to listen to. A shame, because I like its other characteristics.

@MarkGFL 6 лет назад

I tried a few EQ options and yes, cutting it in the range you mentioned did help a bit. But in the end (as I wanted this for live broadcasts) it was much simpler to use a mic that didn't have these issues.

@Rock7Clips 3 года назад

BJ, could you recommend a mic for a noisy household, untreated living room with kids in it, but I make tutorial vids? i do alot of talking in them like this video here. oh, and I don't wanna spend much, trying to stick to $100 or less. I was looking at the XM8500, shure sm58, and some other stuff like that.

BSW USA selles those pop filters and I believe the Procaster and the EV re320 use one model and the EV re27 and Heil PR40 share another model. Posted this to Reddit's /r/Podcasting subreddit. !

@robburgess4556 6 лет назад

Have you ever considered doing any audio post production on these videos? I've watched several today and your average levels all seem to be around -27 to -30 LUFS. I find myself maxing out the volume on the player and reaching for the volume on my amplifier. I realise that you want to keep the audio as natural as possible but you're making it difficult to hear - some light limiting would do wonders.

@RezaMolavi 5 лет назад

When I am not looking at your handsome face and just listening, I cannot tell which is which. Lewitt seems to be the best quality for the price. I will sell all my mics and get a few the 440 models. The best part is it includes the holder, filter and excellent package for under $300. Plus, I love the look of Lewitt.

Hey Mike, if you weren’t paid money to promote a product, I wouldn’t mark it as “Includes a Paid Promotion”. Great video as always. I have been rocking an SM7B for a few years, and probably won’t be changing, but watch every video that comes out anyway...

@keesv8000 6 лет назад

Mike, aside from your experience with equipment, environment and technique, have you received speech coaching? I rarely hear you say "uhm, well, like," etc; you know, the various ways people try to keep their audience engaged while they search for words. Or are you a natural when it comes to 'organic' speech?

@ilblues 4 года назад

I'm a baritone-bass and always looking for a mic that doesn't make me sound like Mickey Mouse. Putting stock in YT reviews is difficult because many mic reviews are by a soy boy or female emo type where nearly every mic sounds good because they're boosted from 2kHz and up. Nice to hear a voice similar to mine review some mics. Will check out the rest of your vids. Thanks.

@boimesa8190 6 лет назад

@JoeCroninSHOW 6 лет назад

I have the RODE as well... I have about 6 Mics and the RODE Procaster has a very hollow sound. My voice over powers the mic with too much Gain more than most mics

@PileOfEmptyTapes 6 лет назад

That makes sense as the Procaster has an upper bass bump in frequency response where typical vocal mics generally output somewhat reduced level, and your voice is likely to have a good bit of energy down there. So in all likelihood you are getting higher levels out of the mic, accordingly making it easier to clip your recording chain. It goes without saying that you'd rather be going easy on the gain and boosting in post if need be.

I have Rode Podcaster (very similar to Procaster) and I have to make a statement: it is a really bad mic. Terrible plosives. Positioning changes sound dramatically. Go with Lewitt mics or SE Electronics V7 mic. Avoid Rode mics at any cost.
