Today I review a budget USB interface that has a built in tube preamp; the Behringer MIC500USB Tube Ultragain Preamp. This thing is different, and will work fine for basic uses, but if you're going to be use this to run guitar DI, or using it for professional applications, I would suggest looking elsewhere. 00:00 - PART 1: Intro / Setup / Notes 00:48 - PART 2: What’s in the Box? 01:03 - PART 3: Build Quality / Walkthrough 02:39 - PART 4: Specs 02:59 - PART 5: Preamp Mode Tests 04:09 - PART 6: Gain Noise Test 05:08 - PART 7: Voltage Test / Dynamic Mic Test / Windows Test 06:04 - PART 8: Music Test 08:01 - PART 9: Conclusion / Thoughts Buy the Behringer Tube Ultragain Mic500USB Global: https://geni.us/mic500usb Buy the Rode NT1 Kit US: http://amzn.to/2i1eWfO UK: http://amzn.to/2i3uFh8 CA: http://amzn.to/2qzk3dz My YouTube Kit: https://podcastage.com/studio My Favorite XLR Mics: https://podcastage.com/rev/favxlr My Favorite USB Mics: https://podcastage.com/rev/favusb NOTE (FULL DISCLOSURE): If you purchase an item using my amazon link, it provides me a small referral fee.

Today I review the new mic from Lewitt, the LCT1040. This is one of the most versatile analog mics that I have ever used. It gives you a tube and a fet circuit and you can blend between them. On top of that the Tube mode has 4 different voicings, you have 5 polar patterns, 3 high pass filters, 3 pads, and the ability to output tube and fet through two XLR ports. It's a crazy powerful studio mic.

Today I review the Lauten Audio LS208, an end address condenser microphone for podcasting and broadcasting. It offers impressive side and rear rejection (for a condenser), as well as multiple high pass and low pass filters to tailor the sound to fit your voice. The mic does tend to be a bit on the sibilant side, suffer from less than optimal plosive rejection, all while being a bit quiet for a condensers (-46dB sensitivity).
