greetings earthlings I'm back with another full mic kit review for you guys
so today I'm reviewing this guy the knee were NW 7000 USB microphone kit if you are interested in
this kit it'll set you back about 40 bucks on Amazon as per usual link in the description
and for this video I have the mic connected directly to my Mac with my input gain set at
around 65 percent I'll add no effects to the audio but I may boost it and post so check the
doobly-doo for more information now let's go and talk about what comes in the box obviously you're
going to get the microphone you get a USB cable you get a windscreen you get a shock mount you
get a boom arm with a 5/8 to 3/8 inch adapter already attached and you get some documentation
as far as the build quality there's nothing special about this thing it feels just like
every other knee wear mic on the market it has an all-metal body a metal grille but it
does feel a bit on the light side on the outside you'll find no lights no headphone jack nothing
but on the bottom of the mic you will find at the USB port in terms of specs this thing has
a cardioid polar pattern a frequency response of 20 Hertz to 17 kilohertz a sensitivity of
negative 34 decibels a bit depth of 16 bit and a sampling rate of up to 48 kilohertz now I'm
spinning around the microphone to determine what the actual polar pattern is and how the
audio changes as we move around the microphones capsule now I'm banging on a keyboard with cherry
MX blue directly behind the mic to see how much of my voice versus how much of the keyboard it
picks up one foot away from the microphone two feet away from the microphone and about
four feet away from the microphone okay so now you can see that I my sound preferences
open and my gain is at 50% I'll go ahead and drop this down to 0% and slowly increase it so
you can hear what kind of noise is generated by this microphones preamp slash interface
25% 50%
75%
and 100% now I have the microphone connected directly to my Windows
10 PC with the input gain set at 75% and this is how the microphone sounds
me where are you serious can you please stop releasing a new mic each week so to be honest
I'm actually blown away by this microphone in terms of pros this thing is pretty dang cheap
for an entire microphone kit according to the graph the frequency response is relatively flat
the preamp on this thing is surprisingly good all the way up to 95 or 100 percent and this kit has
everything that you need to start recording in terms of cons given the $40 price tag it's hard
to find any but I guess it is a bit harsh at times in the higher frequencies but in all honesty when
it boils down I'm really surprised with this thing so since this is a condenser microphone
it's not the type of mic that I'd recommend for podcasters or anybody who's concerned with
background noise but if you do have a $40.00 budget that you just can't exceed and I think
this is a pretty great option but just remember this thing will pick up quite a bit of background
noise so if you're concerned with that you may want to look at a dynamic cardioid mic alright
guys I guess that will wrap it up for today if you found this video full and intricate helpful
thumbs up if you thought it sucks comes down if you want to influence the gear that I review next
