the mic should be placed deeper inside when using reflection filter. The way they did this makes little to no difference cause the mic is almost in the outer part of it. Makes the sound even worst than no treatment.

I listened to these clips and here's what I liked in order: 1. SE 2200 with blankets 2. SM7B open 3. Soyuz with blankets It's hard to really compare without proper gains staging and volume matching, but for a home studio I think it's a decent test.

what is gains staging

@ADAMAudioBerlin

2 жыл бұрын

Hi Ibrahim! Gain is the "technical volume" so to say. That means the volume before going in the effect chain. Some analog gear or emulation of analog gear need a certain input to work. Thus, you need to make sure that the technical volume before the effect chain is correct and also the artistic volume at the end. All the best, Daniel.

@@fightsandfinance7570 It's absolutely worth it. But here's got a problem for you since the SM7B is a well known microphone with very low signal, which means if you're using this mic, you'd better need a mic pre-amp for it. But your phone's not capable of giving phantom power to the mic pre-amp to work. So...it's not a good choice for your phone.

@RobandSijay

@@fightsandfinance7570 I second what KurokiD said and will suggest (for a phone set up as it needs to phantom power,) SM57 with the A81WS windscreen and it will give you a really close sound to the 7B on a budget for podcasting $100 for the SM57 and $30 for the Large body windscreen. This set up is confirmed to work with an adapter to a smartphone.

Hi LuxiusVT! Glad that you liked it! Thanks!

1st thing I noticed is all mics had more proximity effect and were louder in general when the moving blankets were used. The Soyuz Bomblet was the best more round sound, the SE 2200 was the loudest and I heard some plosives. The SM7B was in the middle more rounded and smoother than SE2200 but not as smooth as Soyuz!

Nice post, dope artist. Bless

That hook 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

SE 2200 w blankets sounded best to me, though that signal would probably need some low end roll off/multiband comp to deal with the proximity effect. Honestly surprised at how good all 3 mics sounded just centered in the room. My bedroom is 10x more noisy (near busy roads) and reflective.

omg that was sick!!

Niice comparison and nice singing vocal. I'm glad Kaotica eyeball wasn't used - made my vocals wayyy too colored. Absorption panels behind me and sides of the cardiod mic works best for my setup - leaves a balanced vocal with some natural air!

Thank you.

Bomblet with blankets, want to invest in that mic in the future

Mannnn what dif with the moving blankets.

The reflection filter mad the vocal muddy & lowered resonance. The mics all sounded better with the moving blankets. overall, I liked the SM7B with the blankets,, I wonder why the blankets sounded better then the mic filter ? I have a mic filter,, I wonder if its the closeness that muffles the sound ?

Curious at what kinda input gain these were recorded. I have a semi treated room and use the aston mics halo reflection filter + origin mic, but I always have a lot of issues getting clean upfront recordings and waaaay too much sibilants (and sh sounds are also horrible) T_T

Wow, the best home setup for microphones I've seen. Where were you when I needed you. LOL. I liked all the setups depending on what I'm using them for. Currently I'm using my 102 years old grandmothers handmade blankets in a treated room. Hearing that Soyuz Bomblet was worth watching the video. Thank you.

Just saw kaotica eyeball making their products for the SM7B. Do you think that helps or hurts for that particular Mic?

If money wasn't a problem, I'd pick the Bomblet with the blankets. Doesn't cut the highs as the 7b and doesn't over excite it like the sE2200. The reflection filter cut a lot of low end compared to blankets though

Reflection filter gave it a coning type of sound but the blankets gave a warm in your face presence which i agree the bomblet worked well and in some parts the sm7b sounded good on some variations to the hook

1. SE 2200 2. Soyuz Bombet 3. SM7b All w/ blankets. The isolation makes a huge difference! Pisses me off that the reflection filters can cost near $300+ dollars and not be as good as my PVC/blankets setup. The SM7b is the "hot mic" right now but it's just not for me. It's like beats for microphones for me. No shade to those that love them. Just not my cup of tea.
