greetings earthlings today i'm back with
a review of a brand new microphone from
buyer dynamic that microphone being the
buyer dynamic m90 pro x if you are
interested in this microphone it will
cost you around 350 dollars like always
i'll throw some links in the description
down below also in the sake of full
disclosure i do need to let you know
that buyer dynamic sent me this
microphone free of charge for the sake
of making this review with that out of
the way for this video i will be running
the microphone directly into the
focusrite 18i20 second gen 48 volts on
gain set at 11 o'clock 24 bit 48
kilohertz i will not do any kind of post
processing but i may have to boost it a
little bit boost it a little bit in post
so go ahead and check the doobly-doo to
see what a diddly did and now let's talk
about what comes in the box
of course you are going to get the
microphone you will get a dust cover to
protect the microphone
you'll get a plastic shock mount which
does come with a 5 8 to 3 8 inch
microphone stand adapter
you'll get a pop filter and a little bit
of documentation then as far as the
build quality i don't have any
complaints about this thing it has an
all metal body as well as a very firm
metal mesh grille does not have any kind
of give to it as we move around the
microphone there are no buttons or
switches on the bottom of the mic you
will find the xlr port and if it matters
to you this microphone is made in china
then as far as the specs this microphone
has a super cardioid polar pattern a
frequency response of 20 hertz to 20
kilohertz a sensitivity of around
negative 29 db a max spl of 133 db an
ein of i believe 5.6 dba which is
amazing and an impedance of 180 ohms now
i am rotating the microphone around to
90 degrees you can hear the off axis
rejection and coloration will continue
around the microphone to 180 degrees
here is the rear of the mic continuing
around the microphone to the second 90
degree angle here we are and then
rotating and ending at the front of the
microphone now let's go ahead and see
how well this microphone rejects
plosives and how effective the provided
pop filter is please bring pizza pronto
please bring pizza pronto please bring
pizza pronto please bring pizza pronto
now i am right on top of the microphone
to exaggerate the proximity effect and
here is how it's sounding now i'm about
three inches off with the mic pointed at
the corner of my mouth and here is how
it's sounding about one foot away from
the microphone about two feet away from
the microphone and now about four feet
away from the buyer dynamic m90 pro x
with a super cardioid polar pattern
now i am typing on a keyboard with
gateron blue switches to see how much of
my voice versus how much of the keyboard
it picks up
and for the game and folk out there now
i am typing on the sad w and spacebar
keys
now here is how the microphone sounds in
a well-treated room
now here is how the microphone sounds in
a completely untreated room
next in order to see how effective the
provided shock mount is i'm going to go
ahead and tap on my desk so we can see
how much of that noise it can reject
and then i will tap on the boom arm
and now because i want to be thorough
and a little bit annoying i'm going to
tap on the body of the microphone to see
if there are any kind of resonant
frequencies
[Music]
now we're going to do a quick spoken
word comparison between the buyer
dynamic m90 pro x and a bunch of other
microphones that are available on the
market so we can see how it stacks up
against the competition like always
we'll start on the microphone that we're
reviewing this is the buyer dynamic m90
pro x i am six inches off my gain is set
at 11 o'clock and here is how this mic
sounds let's jump to the first mic and
start the comparisons first up we are on
the newer nw700
this goes for about 23 or so i am six
inches off my gain is at 11 o'clock and
here's how it sounds let's jump back to
the bayer dynamic or buyer dynamic and
do a bunch more back for a pallet
cleanser on the m90 pro x here is how it
sounds let's jump to the next mic now we
are on the audio technica at2020
this goes for about 100
i am six inches off i increased my gain
to about one o'clock because this is
much quieter and here is how this sounds
let's jump back to the m90 and do more
comparisons just so you can have another
palette cleanser here is how the m90 pro
x sounds nothing has changed next
microphone now we're on the neat king b2
which goes for about 180
i am six inches off my gain is back at
11 o'clock and here is how this compares
to a microphone that's 200 more
expensive more or less so let's jump
back to the more expensive mic and do
more comparisons we are back again on
the m90 pro x so you can hear this in
between the microphones that we're
comparing and with that being said let's
do another one now we are on the road
nt1 which goes for about 270 dollars i
am six inches off my gain is set at 12
o'clock on the 18 i20 and here's how
this sounds compared to the m90 pro x
which of these do you like better let me
know and let's do more tests this is the
buyer dynamic or bayer dynamic m90 pro x
again here's how it sounds next mic now
we are on the luit lct 440 pier this is
another microphone that goes for around
270 dollars six inches off gains set at
11 o'clock and here's how this sounds
compared to the m90 pro the m90 pro x my
voice is going let's jump back and do
three more i think
again here is how the microphone sounds
the m90 pro x listen to it get a good
feel for it and let's do another
comparison right now we are on the
sennheiser mk4 this goes for around
three hundred dollars six inches off
gain set at one o'clock and here is how
this compares to the i almost called it
the rode nt1 the m90 pro x let's jump
back and do two more comparisons i think
we have one or two more to go so here is
the m90 pro x listen to it understand it
and let's do another one now we are on
the shure ksm 32 this is a cardioid only
condenser microphone it goes for around
500
no pads no filters engaged and here is
how this compares oh gain at one o'clock
still six inches off and this is how it
compares to the buyer dynamic let's do
one more and we have one more microphone
to go and you all know what it's going
to be but first this is the m90 pro x
let's jump to the final mic and lastly
we are on the neumann u87ai
this goes for about thirty six hundred
dollars i am six inches off my gain is
set at eleven o'clock cardioid polar
pattern no pads no filters and here is
how this sounds compared to the m90 pro
x let me know in the comments down below
which of these microphones was your
favorite and let's jump to the music
test now
[Music]
i don't really have too much to say
today
and i don't really know which chords to
play
at all
cause i've got a write a new song every
week
and i'm not creative
so they all sound the same
yeah somebody said hey you need to write
new songs with your new chords ain't
gonna happen because because i have to
do one of these every single week and i
just don't
i can't dedicate hours to making
something that i like so i just stick to
the same thing over and over and over
again conclusion time
all right so buyer dynamic released the
m90 pro x along with the m70 pro x and i
was quite disappointed with the m70 pro
x
this microphone is much more informed
with what i would expect from a brand
like buyer dynamic but first up as far
as pros the first thing does have to be
that self noise with 5.6 dba that's
never going to cause you any problems
secondly i did find that the off axis
coloration on this thing is pretty
inoffensive so if you do have
reverberation or sound making it into
the sides of this mic it won't end up
ruining the recording and lastly i found
the pop filter to be very effective
please bring pizza pronto that's pretty
good and then as far as cons i don't
think the microphone did the best job
with background noise rejection so if
you have a bunch of ambient noise or if
you're in a completely untreated room i
don't think it would be the best fit
also the shock mount did let through
quite a bit of lower frequencies
so if you are planning on using this in
an environment with a ton of low-end
rumble that may be an issue and although
the microphone wasn't overly sibilant on
my voice if you have an extremely
sibilant voice i do think this
microphone would be quite unflattering
and now what are my overall thoughts and
opinions of this microphone on the
electric guitar you can get some crazy
aggressive tones out of it the low end
is full but not muddy or boxy you do get
a fairly neutral lower midsection then
in the upper mids you get a bit of a
bump so it's a little bit more forward
and then in the treble and air you can
get a ton of bite out of this thing
really some aggressive sounds if you
want them and to my ears for a brighter
microphone i thought it handled the
upper register of the guitar pretty well
then on the acoustic guitar you are
still getting that full-bodied low end
but it doesn't come across as muddy or
unclear then in the upper mids you're
getting this pushed and slightly more
forward sound and then the real standout
here was the treble and air you are
getting an extremely clear and detailed
and articulate sound but it doesn't come
across as overly brittle next up for
singing i had zero issues with the low
end becoming overpowering the low mids
were nice and clear the upper mids do
give you that bump that little boost
which does make it come across a little
bit more forward and then you have the
treble and air this microphone comes
across as very bright articulate and
airy which i know some people will love
others will hate if that's the sound
that you're looking for that's what it's
offering and finally for spoken word
this is offering an incredibly clear
sound it doesn't have an overly
aggressive high pass filter like the m70
pro x did the lows and low mids came
across as very even to me you do get a
little bit of that bump in the upper mid
section but the main thing that sticks
out here again is that boost in the
treble and air it gives you this hyper
detailed sound which makes it really
easy to hear every enunciation all the
articulation
all of that in your spoken word and to
wrap up what i recommend the buyer
dynamic m90 pro x for some people yes i
would first thing i'll say is it's no
secret the rode nt1 is one of my
all-time favorite microphones well i
thought the m90 pro x was the most
similar to the rode nt1 i think it just
offers a bit more controlled low end and
a bit more of a boost in the treble and
air so you're getting a bit more of that
articulation a bit more of that
modern-ness that bright top end and
getting a little bit more controlled low
end compared to the rode nt1 so if
that's the sound that you're looking for
i say go for it but i do have a couple
of caveats as i already mentioned i
don't think this mic did amazing at
background noise rejection so if you're
looking at it i do think you need to
have some form of sound treatment to
reduce the amount of reverberations that
will make it in and also if you have a
hyper sibilant voice i think this
microphone would be far from flattering
on you and i think you would need to
look elsewhere that's all that i've got
for you today let me know in the
comments down below which of the mics
that i compared this against was your
favorite if you found this video fun
interesting or helpful go ahead and give
me a thumbs up hated it big old thumbs
down want videos subscribe do all that
stuff blah blah blah typical youtuber
outro
okay these people are amazing they rock
i will talk to you next week thanks so
much for watching bye
