I'm getting a few comments asking why I didn't speak into the end of the mic. This mic is very plosive heavy(mentioned in the video). You can hear hints of it when I say "pound for pound" around the :15 second mark. You can hear hints of it in other places throughout the video one really bad one in the wrap up, Keep in mind that this is WITH the mic turned off axis.

I don't imagine most people want to listen to a 5+ minute review of me popping every 10 words, so to mitigate, I have a few options. Use a pop filter, move the mic further away(fifine recommends this mic be 1.5-4 inches from the mouth), or turn it off axis.

This is an instance where I needed to my So that's what I did.

I've modified this mic with a higher quality foam screen inside the grill, which fixes the problem, but that is not how the microphone ships from the factory, and ruins the "what you hear is what you get" approach to the review.

Mad respect on the plosive test...lol poppin pimples and pooping pants with a straight face...impressive I had to rewind that one. I bought this mic a week ago very impressive.

Another great review ! Question, you were talking into the side of the microphone, but at 1:19 the capsule appears to be a top address capsule, was that for plosive reasons I assume?

Fifine has made some decent mics but, they are really stepping up their game

Just as a side comment, I have 3 SL40s setup where I do my weekly for QRAZ Radio, It simplifies my settings across the board. so far, I am very happy with them

I absolutely love your videos...and I think you know that. I am SO confused about being able to see the whole end address portion of the mic. I am increasingly seeing more and more people talk into the side of a mic, and it just takes away SO much of the sound. Am I missing something besides going to extremes to avoid plosives?

Great work as always. I love the Fifine products, i've never had anything bad from them and would recommend them to everyone :)

[SeverSideShow]

Thanks for the video. That was really helpful

My XLR wont fit the k699D.. does it take a smaller XLR input ??

[SeriouslyTechStuff]

Great review. I ordered this after watching and it is criminal how good this mic is for the money.

The look of this microphone kinda reminds me of the Earthworks ICON

[Vertshark]

If you adjust the levels in the recordings for each mic so the output is more or less the same, how do they compare?
