Yeah not bad for the cost.

Could you do some in depth guitar/vocal demos etc of that GTZ, and maybe compare it to a better mic as well?

@JayceAllanGuitar

I will. I need to get a better mic. Maybe. Rode NT? I don’t have anything more than an MXL hanging out in the studio currently.

i sister makes mics in her basement too... small word. Noy man.

MY SISTER MAKES WARHEADS in her basement,,non nuke

funny thing, can you hear the difference from 200 to 2000 and how much better

I know what I'm about to say is a cliche, but it also happens to be true. Yes, top of the range equipment is nice to have, but the most important thing in the chain is the performer, whether you sing or play an instrument. Crap in , crap out. Any audio system is as good as it's weakest link. You may own a really top end mic, but is the rest of your recording enviroment also top end? Are you a skilled engineer that knows how to get the best out of equipment or able overcome any issues? Will a good mic just highlight any issues? I get that it's great to own nice things, but throwing money at a problem isn't always the best solution. Anyway, thank you for your content.

I appreciate that. Thanks.

Interesting stuff. I have had a few MXL mics, and wow, the good, the bad and the ugly! Two quick examples for me, I did pick up a 770 a couple years ago, and wanted to run over it with my car. Thought it sounded thin and terrible, very lightweight and cheap feeling, and overall made me sad inside. On the other end, I picked up a used MXL3000 for about 75 bucks on Ebay, and holy crap, outside of the hefty noise floor, (19db!) This is one smooth mic. Blew my Rode NT1 out of the water.

@@JayceAllanGuitar They're great platforms for modification too. Oh, I also scored a used MXL V88 for 30 bucks and it's brilliant. Originally retailed for 700 supposedly, although I doubt they ever really sold for that much. Fun tip... both the 3000 and the V88 I got super cheap on Ebay from pawn brokers who didn't know how to test them so sold as "parts"

I have yet to try modding an MXL. I know the 990's are a great modding platform. I'd like to try a better capsule.

Thought the NT1-A sounded the best

I'm guessing that this guy is buying clones off of Temu and just changing the brand stickers. I bought my TLM clone for $9.00 and my U87 clone for $13.00. How about you buying the ones off of TEMU and doing a comparison?

I looked at Temu but don’t see these exact mics. My guess he’s going through Ali Express or similar. You can get the individual components there, almost as a kit and some of the vendors will even put a custom logo on for you. I have a shootout between these mics and the MXL brand. Just haven’t uploaded it yet.

@@JayceAllanGuitar So your thinking just like me. I have several from Temu / Ali Express, not bad mics IMHO. I also have an MXL that works well. If you want a great high quality mic check out the Rode NTK. I bought mine used off of Reverb for $300. It blew me away. Looking forward to your shootout video.

Yes, the Rode mics are great! I've used a lot of MXL's, they are a solid mic.

It looks like he changed the price to $395 so maybe it was a typo, Lucky You!

Looks like that's for the black set. The pair I bought is $214. Plus they have a coupon code for $40 off. So still a pretty good deal.

i just got a gtz-103 for 100 bucks ,,sounds great for my voice,thanks to your info,,,i dont have abbey road in my basement but this mic is very good,,some perfect peter bashed these mics pretending to be nuu-mong,,he says there not close BULLSHIT just because some guy is smart enough to make a great mic affordable he is a no nothing,,,NOT TRUE,,

Sound like ali express mics, not that great.

Sometimes you get less sometimes you get more.

But what if you sell all four of them and then with that money plus put a couple of hundreds on top of that and buy a AKG C414 XL II ,,with that mic do all this four did but way better , those mics are 900$ or so .

I'm going to get a really high quality mic, probably in the $600 to $800 range and do a shootout with all these mics. I have some SM57 and SM58 clones as well that I'd like to compare. Just getting over bronchitis, so hopefully in the next couple weeks I'll be able to create some new videos.

Had to bail on your vid as extremely annoying (to me) that someone professing to understand, to a degree, microphones, cannot pronounce properly the name of probably the most popular mic in the universe. Whew....
