Don't Buy A Dynamic Mic Until You See This Tier List!

Video Description

I rank some of the most popular and legendary dynamic microphones I’ve used throughout my career, including the Shure SM7B, Electro-Voice RE20, Shure SM57, Shure SM58, Sennheiser E906, Audix D6, as well as some less thought about vintage mics as well. Whether you’re recording vocals, guitar amps, drums, or podcasts, these mics all have their strengths (and weaknesses). I’ll share real-world insights, and, as always, my personal experiences.
