Good choice. Mics are obviously very personal, and my personal preference is for accurate and clear. I think there may be a PD-70 in my future. Every review I've seen for the SM7B seem to be full of plosives that get glossed over. Thanks for the effort, great work.
Idk, I see the MV7 popping up on podcast more and more. I feel the 7 rather than the X is more appealing to the general market. It was marketed as a “budget Shure sm7b” and people ran with that. That being said, I do like the MV7X. It’s actually leaning towards one of my favorites. It’ll be interesting when I do another big microphone comparison. The PD-70 might not come out on top this time. We will see…
@@SpookyRamen ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cIJ9W_aJO5c.html him Rebel Tech, and Audio Hotline all gave it a good grade. I trust these three guys over the rest. I love my pd 70. I sold my 440 pure and Dynacaster for it. I'm not joking either.✌️
Thanks for this video so helpful! I personally didn’t like the presence boost on the PD 70 when I first got it but now I really do appreciate it. If I wanted to use that microphone in something like zoom, it’s nice that out of the gate it doesn’t need very much to sound good. Whenever I use this in a recording situation, the first thing I always do is put a graphic EQ and completely flatten out the microphone by basically reversing everything that the frequency response curve does including bringing back the low frequencies. I find that when I do this, the natural processing that I do want to channel sounds so much better and not as harsh.
That's a lot of work but I can definitely see the benefit from it. Maybe I'll make a video covering that and see if it's more efficient than doing it like I normally do. It really will come down to workflow and if I can get better results. Thanks for checking out the video!
Thanks Great review as usual 👌✨ Good choice of mic's for compare both are nice microphones For sure the MV7X sounds brighter with good low and mid range and sounds better then the PD-70 but with little equalization and filtering the PD-70 will reach the same level of the sound quality of the MV7X and maybe better with affordable price
This was a tough one for me. I really like the MV7X and I have a feeling it will take the title one day when I do another big budget broadcast mic video. I think I’ll do another one when I have one more mic to add to the competition. Adding one more mic is just a waste but two more makes it more interesting. Thanks for checking out the video!
@@RebelTech1990 I used to work at a store similar to guitar center. I would always be testing and setting up new microphones that would come in. I remember the PD 70. It reminded me of the lewitt 440 pure with better plosive rejection. We also had the mv7 that were always sitting in the back. I don't think it's bad just nothing special about the mv7.
I want to buy my first 'professional' microphone. Thanks to your help I think I have chosen the PreSonus PD-70. For the good sound quality and the attractive price. Thank you and excuse my English I am Italian :)
You're English is great! No worries about that. Also, feel free to put your comments in Italian, in the future. I've been wanting to learn more languages and funny enough i've learned a lot from comments on my channel. Thanks for checking out the video, i'm glad it was helpful. Let me know how you like the mic.
It really depends on your preamps. If they are good and don’t give you too much noise when cranked then you will be fine. That being said you will usually benefit from having a mic activator because it will Take pressure off the preamp regardless of the quality. Thanks for checking out the video!
That MV7X has the same issue as its USB partner, and that's awful plosive rejection. Guessing the windscreen is super thin like the MV7? The PD-70 sounded much cleaner, and highlighted your voice much better - just more natural all round. The Shure sounded like it was trying to make things louder in order to be "better", but misses the mark because of that.
Nice, nice. Gotta love how good the PD-70 is for the price. Also, for voiceover, which among your dynamic mics would you recommend? Aside from the SM-7B lol
Sub $200 I have two answers. Overall I think the PD-70 is my choice. It does need some work on the back end to fit the job but it’ll do it. On the other hand if you want less work and plug and play, the MV7X and the PodMic are great. Less work but less flexibility, at least in my opinion.
That’s a good question. If someone has multiple people and a tight budget. Then that’s where I would go with the ZDM-1. Which I think is on sale again btw
@@RebelTech1990 Yes it is. 49.99 on Amazon last I checked. lol Also, just found out there's a ZUM-2 (condenser) variant. U standing for USB from what I see. Looks like your Seiren Mini might have some competition in future videos, if you so desire. ...*whispers* ZDM Mob!
I’ve been interested in a lot of usb mics but I would need to invest a lot of cash to cover the ones that I would want. The other issue is when I’m done with them, I’ll never use them. The mics that I own will have some use for me. Those are one trick pony’s. Maybe I can sell them or do a giveaway but it’s tough. Let’s convince these companies to send me stuff then we don’t have to worry lol
So I recently purchased a pd70 ( cloudlifter as well) with a scarlet 2i2 for my interface. I'm trying to use it for streaming/discord, but it just sounds too low in the actual live stream even though my gain is decent on the interface. Is there software I can use to have the mic sound like the more popular sm7b? ( as far as audio quality goes.)
I’m not a fan of the scarlet interfaces. The preamps don’t give enough gain for dynamic mics. As far as making a mic sound like the sm7b idk if it’s possible. Some people say they can do it but I won’t hold my breath. That mic has a distinct sound that is hard to replicate.
@Rebel Tech So I'm still in a return policy for the pd70. Is it safe to just go with a better quality mic, such as the mv7x/ sm7b over the pd70 instead of upgrading later? Or what would you recommend for an audio interface with better pre amps.
You’ll have the same problem with most dynamic mics. They need a good amount of gain. So changing the interface is probably better. You wanna get something with Midas preamps. The wave xlr and go xlr has them. But if you need more inputs you’ll have to do some research.
