    Neewer NW-7000 vs. Neumann TLM-103 Comparison (Versus Series)
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lv4PX1GD3WI

    Today we compare an $1100 microphone to a $20 microphone to see which is the best! The two mics, are the Neewer NW-7000 and the Neumann TLM-103.

    Comments:
    Honestly? The Neewer didn’t suck. I prefer Dynamic mics, but in the context of this comparison, I would probably get the Neewer and use the rest of the cash for gear that would make it sound better and that I could use with other mics as time went on.

    I couldn’t decide which one to get, but at last, there’s a video that compares them!

    How about 55 neewer vs 1 neumann? $1100 vs $1100 comparison.

    Not exactly sure I was able to notice $1079.00 worth of difference there. Plenty, …but not the full $1079.00.

    Does Phantom Power Improve Your Condenser Mics Audio?
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-U7czr1gR_s

    WARNING: I no longer recommend using a USB soundcard to connect a microphone to your computer. It has become too unreliable due to manufacturers altering the components used in their products as well as alterations to operating systems causing additional problems. The only method of connecting a microphone to your computer that I recommend is with a USB AUDIO INTERFACE that is designed specifically for that use case.

    Neewer NW-700 Connected directly to PC Microphone Test, no Phantom Power
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkUqOHc3g_Y

    You have the option to connect the Neewer NW-700 directly to your PC via a xlr to microphone connector. Keep In mind your motherboard has to be able to supply enough power to the mic to power it without the introduction of static noise. Something that is a huge weakness with this microphone.

    Comments:
    the correct way to use this mic is to use an interface that supplies phantom power to the mic

    You know why it’s noisy? Because you’re not an Audio engineer and shouldn’t be reviewing such products. You don’t have a pr O level mixing console with 48v phantom power. That’s why you get signal to noise ratio. Audacity? Wow!!! Lmfao. I’m laughing my Ass off because I use the same Mic on a budget and have no problems boosting my gain level to increase the condensor Mic. Its a condensor Mic. The noise is you not the mic. Learn about studio equipment before you review it buddy. Give my mixes a listen. I don’t use audacity freeware Lmfao

    The noise floor is because of the interference between the audio jack and the audio encoder. The mic might have a much lower noise floor. You also did boost up the gain 30dBs too, so that amplified the noise coming from the motherboard and other components in the PC. If you used a mixer there would be less noise.

    Do You Need Phantom Power? NW-800 Tested
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bo2mlgRbkrA

    In today’s video well be doing some audio comparisons with and without a Phantom power supply to see whether or not Phantom Power really make a noticeable difference in audio quality.

    Comments:

    Why doesn’t the power supply come with the microphone? Its like selling a car without an engine. -_-

    just got my neewer nw-800 microphone through today and found out that it wouldnt work on its own which i am not too pleased about as it never said anything on amazon about it needing a USB or a Phantom Power supply.

    I have one of these excellent microphones… my simple set up is NW800 microphone in to a Behringer Xenyx 302 USB mixer in to a USB socket on my PC. Excellent quality, no noise… this mixer does not provide 48v phantom power but offers around 15v phantom power which seems to be more than ample for this microphone. It’s a great set up for not too much money that I can totally recommend.

    I’m using the NW-800 at (At most) 3.375 volts from my motherboard and it works ok. One of the audio channels, in my case the left one is completely filled with static and background noise, so to solve it I muted that channel in my asus software. I’d recommend a phantom power supply to anyone, my microphone is at 120% volume to compensate for the lack of voltage and only the right audio channel is active, in stereo audio recording it is an issue. Buh

    I am using a NW-700, I don’t have any kind of USB adapter,I am using 48V phantom power and I have a very good voice level without any noticable backgraound noise.

    This mic is not bad at all. For that price no complaints.

    Ribbon Microphone
    The ribbon microphone was for many years the microphone of choice for high quality applications and today with many developments it new microphones can outperform the older ones.
    https://www.electronics-notes.com/articles/audio-video/microphones/ribbon-microphone.php

    DIY Ribbon Microphone Operation Principles
    http://www.diyaudiocomponents.com/diy-ribbon-mic-operation-principles

    The ribbon microphone motor consists of a very thin (1.5 – 5.0 microns) aluminum foil strip positioned between two permanent magnets. The foil vibrates when exposed to a sound source. A flat piece of foil can hardly vibrate because it is made of dense material and is not elastic enough. That’s why the foil gets corrugated, giving it a spring effect and providing required elasticity for the ability to get motivated by a sound wave. A corrugated foil strip is called “ribbon”.

    Output signal level of a ribbon motor is usually around 100 microvolts (0.1 millivolts) or about 50 times lower then the output of a regular moving coil (dynamic) microphone. To raise the signal up to a reasonable level, usable by regular audio equipment, a step-up transformer is used. Historically, the most widespread transformation ratio of ribbon microphone output transformers is 1:37.

    output impedance of a ribbon microphone motor is usually around 0.1 – 0.2 Ohms, so multiplying it by 1369 gives us approximately 150 – 300 Ohms

    As lighter ribbon gets, as higher signal level we achieve, thus thinner ribbons give hotter output. That’s also one of the reasons why aluminum is used to make ribbons – it is one of the metals with lowest density (“lightest” metals).

    While the reasonably usable range of foil gauges is quite narrow, the width of a ribbon can vary between 1.0 – 6.0 mm (0.04″ – 0.25″)

    the frequency response of a ribbon microphone depends strictly on the size of the assembly, precisely on the length of the path from the front of the ribbon to its back. As longer it gets, as earlier high frequency roll-off we will experience. Logically, as longer is a perimeter of a magnet, as longer is the path.

    Ribbon Basic
    http://royerlabs.com/ribbon-basic/

    Of all modern microphone designs, dynamics are the simplest. They operate on the principle of electromagnetic induction, meaning the physical motion of components within the mic actually generates its output current by moving a suspended coil of conductive wire

    ruggedness comes at a price: Most sound engineers agree that moving-coil dynamics don’t sound nearly as good as their ribbon and condenser counterparts – the high mass voice coil, relative to ribbons and condensers, results in diminished transient response, limited and uneven frequency response, and very poor off-axis response.

    Condenser mics are a little more complicated
    The plates form a condenser, or capacitor, and require an external dc voltage source for polarization
    output voltage is the result of constantly-changing capacitance. The relatively low output of the capacitor means a separate amplifier stage inside the mic must be used to increase voltage output to a usable level.
    Condensers tend to emphasize the high end of the audio frequency spectrum, and well-made ones are found in recording studios around the world. Though their design leads to some inherent shortcomings “high frequency peakiness,” poor performance in high humidity and, in some cases, distortion artifacts that necessitate “fixing” the track at mixdown – they are an excellent choice for a wide range of applications and can make excellent companions to ribbons.

    Ribbon mics operate on the same electromagnetic principle as their distant relatives ‘dynamic mics’ but with one important difference: Instead of the dynamic’s cumbersome plastic voice coil (Fig. 1), the ribbon mic employs an extremely thin strip of corrugated aluminum (Fig. 1.3) suspended in a strong magnetic field. Due to its extremely low mass, the ribbon responds to the subtlest variations in sound pressure and moves through space much more freely than the plates of a condenser or the voice coil of a dynamic. Thus ribbons exhibit a natural, even tone that is detailed and musical without the distortion of dynamics or the unnatural brightness of condensers
    Ribbon microphones require the use of a transformer just before the output to step the voltage up to a useable level, and to raise the impedance from a fraction of an ohm to something more usable (ours are 300 Ohms). The quality of this transformer is critical to the performance of the mic.
    Active ribbons like the Royer R-122 and SF-24 go one step further and use a FET amplifier stage to increase output and to enable impedance matching.
    Ribbons are traditionally found in recording and broadcast studios due to their exceptional sonic characteristics and proven reliability

    Ribbon designers can engineer a desired frequency response into a microphone based on selection of materials, physical size and shape of the element, corrugation method, and electrical properties of other components in the audio signal path. These decisions made on the drawing board are critical to the mic’s overall performance.
    Ribbons naturally exhibit a bidirectional, or figure-of-8 polar response because both sides of the transducer are equally exposed to incoming sound pressure waves.
    Ribbons exhibit the truest bidirectional polar response, and feature absolute null-point rejection, opening up a world of mic placement possibilities.

    Some multipattern condenser microphones are capable of producing a bidirectional pattern

    ribbon mics that feature unidirectional (cardioid, supercardioid, or hypercardioid) polar response must also create patterns electronically or mechanically

    Proximity effect is a physical phenomenon that results in increased low frequency response as a directional microphone moves closer to a sound source. Almost every directional microphone exhibits some proximity effect, but with ribbons, the effect is substantial – especially inside six inches. You can use this effect to great advantage. For example, proximity effect is often just the right thing to enhance a thin-sounding vocalist – naturally and evenly, without having to touch the EQ.

    As one of the earliest microphone designs, ribbons actually predate phantom power by several years. Some ribbon mics can be destroyed instantly by the inadvertent application of phantom power. However, most modern ribbons were designed to handle phantom power being turned on and off:

    People often ask which affordable microphones I recommend for measuring rooms. Best is a condenser microphone having a small diaphragm for an extended high-frequency response.

    If the diaphragm is small enough, its self-resonance will be higher than 20 KHz. Many “tiny diaphragm” mics, such as those from Earthworks and DPA, have a usable response to past 20 kHz, and they’re ideal. But most of these types cost more.

You should always ask the person who gave it to you, whether it’s a technician at a speaking event, or a conference, or if you’re in a talk radio show, ask the producer. Ask them what is the best distance for you when you’re speaking to the microphone. For a lot of microphones, it’s about like this, the distance between your fingers when placed like that. But every microphone is a little bit different.
