(ps yep it seems usb tech has improved.)

this post is about not just cheap mics but ultra crazy cheap mics and vids.

if anyone wants a bit of fun and is interested not just in cheap mics but crazy cheap mics under even 25 buks
ive been watching some vids on you tube where people buy off temu for a few buks
clones of well known expensive mics and then compare with sound tests against expensive mics.
there are also interesting threads on this topic on gearspace where thousands of studios hang out.

heres why i think there might be a place in ones expensive mic locker for such ultra cheap mics.
maybe a bunch of musos/bros get together one weekend to do some rough demos.
maybe in this case it turns into a party as sometimes occurs...lol.
does one want to chance getting wrecked a very expensive mic costing maybe over 1k ?? or some might say even a few hundred ??
its something to consider.
if i remember the demo song coastal highway in my sig...
i used on my vocs a tascam tm80 under 100 buk mic i was testing out for fun.
some people seem to like it.
(if you wanna listen use decent earbuds. bb/rb/rt's plus pg fx only used)

here are a couple of vids i found interesting viz clones and expensive high end mics.
as one will see there might be a place for clones if one is concerned about a really expensive mic getting damaged.

the following vids certainly i found of interest. (tons more on you tube.)
temu mic example..



one more vid on cheap mics....



and a under 15 buk vocal comparison.
