    Please help solve a microphone mystery

    I have two Röde M2 (stage condensor) mics. Mostly they have been in my home studio, working beautifully. I took them out for one gig a month ago. They worked fine there, but when I tried to use them again at home last week they had both become very weak. I've tried different cables and different...

    Canon microphones - DM-E1 vs EM-E1D

    Two options for on-camera Canon microphones are the DM-E1 and the DM-E1D. The E1D was released alongside Canon's new(ish) multi-function hotshoe, and is marketed as a digital mic presumably because it has an ADC built-in, and sends a digital signal stream to the camera through connectors in the...

    Poking around inside a Swissonic UA-2x2

    Can a 2x2, 24/96 capable (UAC1) audio interface for a mere 65€ from Thomann's house brand be any good? Well, I just happened to need something to take care of an XLR condenser mic so I could finally liberate the Audient EVO 4 from my office PC and use it for portable measurements again, and I...

    Which budget USB-C portable DAC for a headset with a microphone, for conference calls and listening to music?

    I need it for conference calls and listening to music on my phone and laptop (Android and Ubuntu). It should have a 3.5mm input with 4 pins for a headset with a microphone and be portable and small in size. I would pay $30 if its only good enough for conference calls or up to $70 if I can use it...

    Is it possible to flatten out a non measurement microphone?

    I was wondering if one could flatten out a microphone by inverting the frequency response found in a graph. I would like to get a taste of the result without having to buy an expensive microphone for this... There's a Superlux microphone, which is pretty cheap, but requires an audio interface...

    Audio for ms teams, zoom etc.

    I tried to use my audio interface with a Rode NT-1 in a shock mount to the side and it worked quite well, but when I have to take notes during a meeting, it would pick up the mouse clicks and typing on the keyboard way too much. I had to constantly mute and unmute the microphone. I got a bit...

    Budget desk-mounted mic boom arm recommendations

    To reduce mic setup footprint, I was looking at desk clamped boom arms. However, it seems like good, professional quality units are well into the 3 figures USD. I really don’t want to spend more for a stand than the value of my modest MXL mic, so I was wondering if anyone has tried any of the...

    Clark "mic booster" CT-1 review

    Purchased at Amazon in hope of obtaining some "free" gain for dynamic microphones. Admittedly, I was lured by the comment made in the name of Ramesh Singaram: Clean gain? Initial voice recording sounded distorted, so I decided to measure the device. All done via loopback on Audient ID4 mk II...

    Apple Dongle (USB-C to 3.5 mm) ADC quality with EarPods/free headsets

    I read somewhere years ago that perhaps crinacle used the apple dongle's ADC via an adapter to measure equipment because apple dongle's ADC is the best of all USB-C dongles. I think this is true. It is not studio quality, but it does support 24/48 PCM recording in mono and does not have as much...
