Shootout Octava MK-012, LyxPro , EV RE-20, Shure SM-7, SennHeiser MKH-415, Tram TR-50

[Paul F]

I compared the Octava MK-012 to the Lyxpro and thought I would add a few other microphones while I was at it.

- The crossfades are slow during microphone switches (1-2 seconds)
- There is clipping during the pop test
- The hair and makeup person has been fired

This is a re-post from another thread, but I thought a mic comparison might deserve its own thread for visibility.

Thanks, Paul - good test, and interesting results!

Since Paul started this new thread, I will put the link to my blog here. There you will find the LyxPros set up as an X/Y pair, and of my radio microphone that I just got a cable to connect the Zoom F4.

Oh, and since Wordpress does not show the arrowheads at the left end of the bar, you will have to imagine them there and click on that area.
