Or Voneh?

as an audio engineer, some feedback about eq boost. as well as boosting some bass frequencies, you should also do a high pass filter, at 100hz or so. that way you are boosting the frequencies relevant to your voice but cutting the really low ambient fluff like road noise. raise the high pass filter till you hear it taking body out of your voice.

Ditto for bass roll off switches. A vanlife vlog we’ve watched for years - he bought a new diesel pickup and the YT playback is horrible when they’re in the truck. Editing on a little notebook is great, but it helps to test on all sorts of devices - to lockdown your mixdown routine. I almost typed poutine.

Dynamic range is a thing for mics:) What I listen for when judging mics is transient response, resonant frequencies ( frequencies that spike) and self noise. Great review. It is better to make sure the mics are levelled as close a possible when judging. People typically hear louder volume as better sound. Love your channel!

Hi Cassey great comparison. The one i feel recorded better your voice was the Sennheiser. Feel that out of the 3 did a much better job of the bunch. Like always the content of your videos as it comes across as honest and right to the point. Thanks for your effort and fun ways "_"

@@sometimesnothinghappens that's pretty dang perfect for kasey if paired with the a7s3 and its "on sale" right now. Can't beat no cables, no battery, no on/off AND a pure digital stream injected straight into the file at 24bit/48khz. For my A7S3, its going to be more of a rigged pro setup for corporate world, commercials, Docs, etc. So I picked up the XLR-K3M which is $100 off right now. With it going into the A7S3 you can feed it 4 channels at 24bit/48khz, I have 2 sets of Rode Wireless Go mics for 2 person interviews, and I boom the MKH-416 (I like to have both boom and Lav) and the xlr mic that comes with the XLR-K3M will be backup audio track. Nothing to do in post, yet have FS/FX lile controls of the 4 audio channels before they go into the A7S3 as a digital stream. The ECM-B1M is just over 2oz, so Kasey will likely prefer that, but even the XLR-K3M is around 6oz with the XLR mic, both doing 24bit/48khz digital straight to file and both needing no batteries or on/off or having no wires going into camera (except where mics plug into the XLR-K3M obviously, but no cables going the camera that can break, be forgotten, pick up interference, etc)

This was so funny especially when the had the Sennheier T-Shirt on. I ordered the Deity the other day because of the rear mic. But I might buy the sennheier too.

TH I preferred the deeper bassiness of the Rode, but in any case neither the Deity or the Sennheiser are available locally and the Rode is about half the expected price of the senny at NZD (pacific peso) $109 and the Deity just isn't being imported

I use the Senny MKE 400 and mount it backwards if I'm talking when filming...sounds great except for the odd poke in the eye now and then.

Thanks for this! I've been looking for a good shotgun mic for a small vlogging setup and it looks like the Senny fits the bill!

The Sennheiser design looks nice. Supercardioid would explain why it picks up more from the back.

Dude i just subbed for the laughs - you're' funny!

hey man.....love your videos! can you tell me what lav mic you use? do you go wireless?

On the Rode Video Micro you can use the grooves on the tighting wheel are to hold the cord from flopping around.

None of them have IBAS (In body audio stab), audio slo mo, alternate audio profiles or flippy mics. Disappointing 😟

Excellent review. The only thing that was confusing is the part where you replayed the short-clip tests in a row. For a moment I thought I rewinded the video.

Put the Rode deadcat on the Deity! Also, the Zoom H4 deadcat will go over the whole mic if you don’t want to use the switch. I use the Rode on the front and a little foamie on the back with the D4.

Rode best all around. Best directionality. I liked the sound outdoors and in. No Eq boost - that was too bassy. The others have their strong points, but the Rode has no fatal flaws and is cheaper.

The 404 sounds like it’s back to normal after lockdown

Good review. Epic cinema quality as dog pees on picnic table while you talk in the background about the microphone. 😂

Lol your videos are just the frickin’ best. Don’t change a thing. Ever. 🤣🤘🏻

Rode is still competitive and amazing value. That was a good comprehensive test.

Does the Røde wind muff fit on the Deity?

I use my Rode micro indoors and the Deity pro outside for backup audio.

I preferred the sound of the Rode first, followed by the Sennheiser in 2nd.

If you find you have too much bass with some mics, try Multiband Compression or Dynamic EQ instead of Standard EQ. It stops the bass from becoming overpowering. Also, a mic being more 'sensitive' just means it'll have less 'static' noise, not less background noise. Background noise has to do with the polar pattern, and it appear the Sennheiser is supercardioid so will pick up mostly from the front (fairly wide), some from the back (very narrow) and none from the sides. The rode will be more cardioid (more from the sides but nothing from the back in relation to the Sennheiser).

Why it took so much time to upload....are you lost in Toneh?

Rode with the fur gets a lot of wind rumble, but EQ highpass will usually amend it

Sennheiser looks promising. But the deity beats everything with their two channels. The backsided mic is just dope. So much so, that I would use as the main mic.

I hear a background fuzz sound with the the Deity, except for the back mic.

so far, the best comparison. I am still a fan of the Røde, but Sennheiser is catching up!

Audio engineers: tries to make back sound rejection on shotgun mics as strong as possible Vlogers: this mic sounds more quiet from behind. Thats why its worst

Check out the Movo VXR10-PRO. $50 mic that Gene Nagata (Potato Jet) is using at the moment.

Sennheiser all the way. The clarity is way better. Your Ess'es don't scratch the ears compared to the other 2

They all sound tinny but if I only had the choice between the three, would pick the Rode.

is Kasey the new owner of Camera Canada?

I thought Diety sounded the best from rear outside. Wonder if there is an attachement to allow having the Diety attached backwards to use the rear mic as front. Indoors I preferred Senheiser.

14:58 yes sir, that's actually a thing in sound and that can be regulated with a compressor. Low dynamics and sustain is like shadows and highlights.

If the winds are calm, is it wind?

Damn I missed that sweet sweet unpredictable Fuji! 🤗

Here is a genius idea for (the) Sennheiser : have the mic mounted on a swivel base than can rotate 180deg. The audio cable connection would be on the base (then it’s not moving when you rotate the mic). You attach the base to hot shoe and never touch it again. Then you can just easily rotate the mic 180deg depending on your vlogging situation (front or rear facing). Perhaps have a detent or easy locking mechanism to keep mic at 0deg or 180deg. Cable stays in place at all time and you always get perfect sound. Just like a flippy screen. Bam !! Perfect vlogging mic 🤓 (they’d better send me a free one when they make it 😄)

In an otherwise complicated test, standout feature was the shirt. 'Sennheiser': you're going places, heck you've been places - the stories ! Deity Duo or Rode, you're just sitting in a bus shelter - shirtless in this particular case, but I'm imagining how it would be if you had their shirts to wear.

“Tiny in the rear...” OMG he’s making prison shower videos with Tiny now! 🤯

If it's just behind the camera use, can't you just turn the Rode around?

"Smallest package, best wind-muff, best sound" -- that's what she said....

If you run this footage through a digital transcoder, you'll find that the Sennheiser's sine wave is in the Petrosian range. Coincidence?

Deity was the best by far! I have just ordered it...

shit! i've been smiling all by myself alone while watching this.. not sure if i'm watching mic review or comedy central.. 😂

You sure you didn't mount the Deity backward? :D

Where are all the frequencies below 400Hz or so? Is that the Fuji preamps doing that? Edit: with the EQ boosted section is sounded more normal

I actually preferred the Sennheiser without the EQ boost you put on at the end. It makes your voice super nasal.

Sennheiser definitely the best sound. My Rode sounds shit, don’t think dropping them several times helps. Going to get the Sennheiser.

When I was a lad, we used wax cylinders on top of easels

Hey! I remember you from your vegetarian channel or carnivore or whatever it was. Cool to stumble across your other channel. Or... is this a 2nd channel? Now I'm confused. Anyway... didn't even know Senn was in the running. Just bought the Diety because of the dual capsule, but the Senn was pretty dang good from behind (pun intended) so I might be returning and the getting the Senn. Thanks for the video.

$5,000 CDN lmfao. Thanks for the review. I have a Sony HXR-MC2500 which comes with a stereo mic that seems fine but there is some hissing. I want to get an inexpensive mic that I can use on a boom and think I will go for the Sennheiser (where can I buy one?). By the way, what brand of extension cable would you recommend? I had a Pixel mic that came with a 10' cable and they were both shit. They went back.

Actually, a bit surprised by how thin the MKE 200 sounds for voice. It seems to be missing something on the low end.

4:28: GOOOOOOOD DOG

If I had the extra $50 I’d think about the sennheiser, but the price point and audio quality of the Movo VXR10-Pro seem to be hitting my KZread scrub pocketbook better.

My choice is the 1) Rode then 2) Sennheiser then 3) Deity. The Deity sound is a little tinny but is great as a rear mic. The price, sound quality and easy of use put the rode first overall but the Sennheiser is a close second and the Deity a close third. Overall you wouldn't lose with any of these mic's. Oh sure pick Sennheiser because they gave you a T-Shirt 😂😂😂

"Big in one end, and tiny in the rear.. I've been told that" man, you made me spit out my coffee twice today, hilarious, but also a solid review. To round this out you should have looked at the Movo VXR10-PRO at under $50 in this category its also hard to beat even compared to the MKE 200. And then to go to the extreme on the other end. There's an option that requites no cable, no turning on or off, no battery to replace, and has additional features for mic patterns and plugged into the A7S3 it sends a pure digital stream at 24bit/48khz straight to your camera through the MI hot shoe. The Sony ECM-B1M and it just happens to be "on sale" right now. ONLY negative besides the price, is you cant boom it, it has to be in the MI hot shoe.

Rode is the best out of the box. What's crazy is how bad the other two sound without eq!

As he reaches down to his lap, he says "This little stubby boy..." I won't even mention the "back side muff." Wait, I just did. OMG

Sorry, still think the Rode is the one to beat. In your traffic noise test, it had the best rejection of the lot, so I would guess it's a tighter pickup pattern, which could be useful in cities and other noisy environments. And it's the cheapest!

you are too funny.... thinking about the Sennheiser to live stream fitness from Vimeo app- we are about 5-6 feet away from iPad- you think still good?

why no Movo mics

My ears like the Rode mic best. But that’s probably because I have one and I am used to that audio.

You should also look at the MOVO-VXR10. For 40 dollars its an amazing mic that can keep up with my friends RODE.

Wish decision. It was my favorite too. You should send Sennheiser a camera conspiracies T shirt in return.

Rode sounds best indoors, Sennheiser rear outside. To me but I know nothing. Personally, I use only Boya (lavs and sometimes their shotgun). Similar quality to the big brands but at a fraction of the price.
