Roswell Mic Comparison 

Best demo I've found on these mics!! Really surprised at how nice they all sound.

The Aztec is so clear that when perceiving the sound source, I felt like I was right in front of it, hearing it in real life. Amazing microphone and amazing video. Kudos to both you and Matt.

Thanks for doing this, man. Super helpful.

Cool video, always love your playing man! Nice mics!

Great job on this video. The demonstration was great and these mics all performed well.

I could not ask for more sir. Professional job, No waste of time or words and similar takes for all mic’s. You are the best I’ve seen at this so far and I have seen hundreds of similar videos. Other brands should pay you to demo their products. Been at it 60 years. I know how much effort it took for you to get to that point. Thank you.

Thanks for the great review. They all sound really great.

This was an incredibly helpful video and playthrough. Thank you so much. Also, love your playing, both simple and schnazzy 😊

I came here wondering which of the mini range to buy, but now I want an Aztec! Great video, thanks.

Thanks for much for the comparison, I was impressed to find the 47 be brighter, more clear than the 87...They all sounds great. And some shine more than others on certain instruments, very interesting.

Thanks for the video man! Been looking for a way to hear a comparison between all the mics. I think this video did a great job at show casing that all these mics sound great and sound even better on specific sources. Found myself preferring different mics depending on what you were recording. I was generally impressed with the 67x all around though 😂

47, and 67x for me...all were real good

The Mini K47 is a winner, no need to EQ, perfect for anything...

Brilliant video thank you! We have had Mini K47 since 2018 I think and this kinda proves the feeling that Its like SM57 on steroids. Your comment on having all instruments with 47 is very relevant. The midrange would get over crowded.

Thanks Camilo! This is a really well executed comparison of Roswell's mic lineup. I'm a proud Colares owner, and it's my first call vocal mic, but your video suggests I should use it more often on instruments. All 3 of the "upper end" models sound great, as expected. I found that I consistently preferred the X versions of the Mini series-the transformer really adds something to the sound. Thumbs up all around!

Yep! Some day 😀

Thanks very much for doing this comparison! 😃 I was thinking of getting a K87 but I think this has changed my mind to a K67x… If I could I would get the Aztec though 😮 blows the others out of the water on every example. Would absolutely love to hear a comparison of these mics on some other sources like vocals to be able to properly decide which is right for me but even without that this is the best Roswell comparison video by far 👍👍

Great demo Camilo! I have been curious about the Roswell mics and someday when I have some spare dough I wanted to get either the Mini K47 or Mini K87.. Not sure about the X models to be honest, they sounded a little congested into the midrange on most of the sources except the Clean fender sound electric, and maybe the ukelele. I am definitely going to have to listen to this when I get home on my studio monitors and cans, Earbuds here at work (decent sounding wired ones but still)

First of all, let me say that I think that this is a GREAT video! 🙏 It’s rare that audio gear review videos are done this well. Unlike so many gear review videos, you didn’t spend the first 15 minutes talking, or telling us how many pushups you could do 🤣, instead, you got right into the meat of the information, and that’s NOT all that common in RU-vid land. 😉 The way you demonstrated the sound of each mic was also very well done, and, your playing was so nicely even on each take, that I was able to focus in on the sound of each mic, without being distracted by different songs and strumming styles, and, without any noticeable “jumps” in levels between each take…nicely done! As for the mics, the thing I noticed the most was, while each mic certainly had its own unique character (I consider transparency to be a “sonic character”, too) every one of the mics sounded great, and I found myself thinking that I would have been more than happy with ANY of the Roswell mics you demonstrated, whether I was working in the studio as a musician or as an engineer. FWIW, I was able to hear both the subtle and not-so-subtle differences between the mics, even through RU-vid’s codec and reduced audio fidelity, and, on my iPhone speakers as well! (FWIW, I also listened through my JBL studio monitors, too, in an acoustically treated room, and the differences in the sonics became even more apparent). I’ve been waffling back and forth for over a month now, trying to decide between the K47 and the K87, and I’ve been leaning towards the 87 because of its transparency, but, after watching this vid, and hearing the 87 in comparison with the K47 and the K47x…man, I dunno, brother…you haven’t made my decision between the two mics any easier. 🤦🏻😉 I’ll let you know which mic I finally decide to get. 😉 A few questions (if you don’t mind): Can you tell us what mic preamp you used when recording these takes? Also, the Viellete you were playing at 10:15 into the video…holy cow! It sounds fantastic! Is that the “Mandolini” you mentioned at the beginning of the video? It’s got such a beautiful texture and tone! Thanks again for this video, it was truly a pleasure to watch and listen to. (Liked and subscribed!) Thanks, Camilo. 🙏😊

I own a Colares but have been wanting a Delphos II as well. the Mini K67x sounds pretty cool for the price though.

My thoughts : The Aztec wins and the Colares and Delphos II , a close no.2 and 3 spot 🙂 ... Superb Video Camilo !!!

Great video! I have to ask, though, did you accidentally leave the reverb engaged at 13:25? I don't think the Aztec magically creates reverb, does it?

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Are the Aztec and Delphos II in their cardioid polar patterns here to match the other mics? Appreciate the video!

K67X sounded the best to me. More full sound imo.

Each one has its own unique curve to the tone. If you were building a track you could just pick which one fits sonically in the production. Aztec was definitely special though!

I found the colares to be a bit more balanced than the Aztec in these samples. It also brought out a bit more of the woody tones of the acoustics to me. The Aztec has a lot of top end that I don’t care for on most acoustic guitars, unless I’m trying to get a second acoustic track to sit differently in a mix.

Horses for courses. Each had its merits.
