It has a pretty highly exaggerated presence rise that is an advantage for radio but can be gritty on some voices. This mic pretty much requires the use of a foam wind screen (get a high quality one) or a pop filter screen if you work it any closer than maybe 8". It can be balanced well for my voice and does a fair job at background noise rejection. Sennheiser MD-421 II (cardioid large diaphragm dynamic studio mic). The PR-30 is smoother in the upper frequencies I have overtones in my voice at 3k-4k and this mic is smoother in that range where the Sennheiser was a bit gritty for my voice.
The pickup pattern is narrower and more focused than the MD-421, but not so tight as to be awkward to work on the air. This mic handles plosives better than the MD-421, has less loading via proximity effect and has high output but a bit lower input sensitivity which is handy to help mitigate background noise. Heil PR-30 (cardioid pattern, large diaphragm dynamic studio mic). The omni pattern does mean it will pick up the room ambience around you. Excellent mic if you have a bass or baritone voice in particular. This is a very good mic for speech articulation, and the pop filter is about the best I've ever used, no windscreen needed at all with this mic. For my voice, proximity effect is not needed as I have too much bass as it is. The pattern also eliminates proximity effect, where a mic loads up and gets too muddy and thick when you speak right into the grill. The omni pattern makes the coverage very forgiving allowing for moving around in a big bubble while operating. Like any condenser mic, controlling the input gain and background noise is key, they will pick up great detail in your voice but they will also pick up a conversation across the house.Įlectrovoice RE-50b - This is a dynamic, omnidirectional pattern mic that is used commonly for news interviewing. I find 8" the sweet spot to manage plosives and also to avoid too much proximity effect that exaggerates the low and low-mid frequencies. These mics need pop filters and are really meant to be worked 8" or so away vs close work. Being a pencil condenser mic, it is very sensitive so I run this mic with the 80Hz high pass and the -10db pad enabled, both work very well. This mic is at this point the closest runner up to the SM-57 for being the best balanced for my voice. SE Electronics sE8 - A small diaphragm pencil condenser microphone. It really needs a pre-amp, if you want to run it into a rig directly you will want a Cloudlifter or similar as a pre-amp before the radio. It may be the easiest one yet to get tuned up for my voice and has really great noise rejection. It's really good on my voice as it isn't super heavy on the bass/low-mid frequencies. It's a dynamic mic and you'll want the Shure A2WS windscreen for it. Shure SM-57 - I just got this one not too long ago, a long time classic.
