Shure SV100 Budget Mic Review / Test (Compared to XM8500, SM48, SM58)

Today I review a cheap & affordable budget microphone; the Shure SV100. It comes in at $30 and compares favorable to other affordable dynamics, but is still beat out by the Behringer XM8500 in my opinion. I include comparisons to the Shure SM58, SM48, XM8500, and a lot more. Buy the Shure SV100 Buy the Pop Filter Used (Hakan P110) Buy the Focusrite 2i2 (3rd Gen)- Same Performance as 18i20 (Affiliate Link) 00:00 - Intro / Price / Disclaimer 00:21 - Setup 00:38 - What’s in the Box 01:03 - Build Quality / Walkthrough 01:25 - Specifications 01:38 - Polar Pattern Test (Tone / Rotation) 01:56 - Handling Noise Rejection Test 02:08 - Plosive Test 02:18 - Distance Test / Proximity Effect Test 02:26 - Background Noise Test (Keyboard Test) 02:55 - Untreated Room Test 03:07 - Microphone Bump Rejection Test 03:23 - Mic Resonance Tap Test 03:42 - Microphone On/Off Switch Test 03:54 - Cupping the Mic Test 04:26 - Pyle PDMic58 Comparison 05:01 - Behringer XM8500 Comparison 05:28 - Samson M10 Comparison 05:51 - Shure SV200 Comparison 06:15 - Shure SM48 Comparison 06:42 - Audio Technica ATR1500 Comparison 07:10 - Shure PGA58 Comparison 07:44 - Shure SM58 Comparison 08:29 - Music Test 09:42 - Pros & Cons 10:35 - Overall Thoughts 12:42 - Recommendation 13:45 - Outro NOTE (FULL DISCLOSURE): If you purchase an item using my amazon link, it provides me a small referral fee.
