The SSL Connex is so jarring with how proficient it is in capturing great quality sound. It looks like a Sumerian Ziggurat but somehow manages to be right up there with the rest of these amazing microphones. To think we've come so far as to having USB MICS that can produce professional quality sound (with some solid mixing).

Great video man; this was very informative and helpful. Been writing music for nearly 20 years and was looking for equipment that was both within my budget and space-conscientious. Not trying to pursue a career at this stage of my life but I definitely don't plan to stop songwriting ever so videos like this is very encouraging to hobbyists like myself. Thank you 🙏

I liked the Sennheiser Profile and the Yeti Midnight blue one the best. Thanks for this video and a song that won't leave my head for a week.

But what I really want to know is this:

"The frequency response of a microphone is the single most determining factor of its characteristic sound."

But you didn't give that information. Am I getting something wrong? That would be the high and low frequency response in the audio range of the human ear. Right?

Pull it down into the diaphram, NDV! Also, you've got some questions down there! They want to know which one you preferred for YOUR voice and why, which is a great question. As a Mezzo-Soprano singer songwriter, I consider multiple different aspects when choosing a Mic as I'm sure you do as well.

Any new tests of non-usb LDC mics? I'm looking for LDC mic which is neutral in sound range up to $500. Thanks!
