Thx for the 2 vids on the mics. The AKG and the Rode sound butter through my Corsair H60's.

aww I hoped better! My room is not well treated and I'm very fidgety so it'll be a loud mess, I wanted it so much because that mic looks really good!

You are really funny 😄 man I love your presentation 😎 Keep it

Ara ara, strange indeed!

Just picked one up on amazon for 50 bucks used from the amazon warehouse. Hopefully this goes good.

Hi, very informative. I don't have an untreated room. I plan to record some guitars and vocals, and do some voicovers. Which USB mic would you recommend, in this price range?

Hey, Love the channel and the humour 😎 What's the mic being used to record the audio in this video please? (The all black one) Thanks

It's likely that the suppression of handling noises in the figure-8 pattern is only an accident of circuitry to accomplish the pattern, versus an intended effect. It could be a DSP effect or an inverted waveform, to affect a destructive cancellation, like with noise-cancelling headphones. The following is suggestion only relevant assuming you actually like mic, and don't already feel a bit betrayed by AKG: As a programmer, it's in my head as something like an analog XOR, e.g. a waveform is nullified to the degree that it is similar across both capsules without phase or amplitude difference. Structural microphonic effects obviously impact both capsules. You could likely prove with this in one of two ways: the easier, but less conclusive approach is to compare the waveform in cardioid versus figure-8, noting rolled-off lowend as suggesting confirmation, or else you could confirm by adding a minimally reflective isolation cap to the reverse face. The second approach being a bit more involved, I elaborate by suggesting a thick piece of open-cell foam, backed by a heavy, amorphous material like plaster or silicone. You could test this by finding a foam pop-filter that fits, cut holes for the yoke screws, and then (not mounted) cover one side with the silicone or plaster in a few layers. The annoying part is that you'd probably want to find a box that's roughly the shape of the mic, or in some way take a mold. This would present a minimally reflective internal surface, with an isolating surface aback of that. Having performed that demonstration, my suggestion of a destructive cancellation effect is confirmed. One fix for the issue would need to be an analog AND filter between the front capsule and the post-XOR waveform. I'm at a loss for how to accomplish that in a simple circuit, so if there's not already a DSP chip in there, it likely won't happen. Another fix for the issue would possibly be a third capsule (or, at least, one more), which would be sealed and acoustically isolated, with the cancellation circuit repeated between this "n-plus-1"th capsule and the solo front-capsule waveform.

definitely a no go

can u help me, which one is better for ASMR. rode usb, AKG or blue yeti? but i need michrophone not that too sensitif as i know i don't have private studio it means there is many people in my house lol. let me know

Which would you recommend for that pricerange?

Have they found a solution for that issue?

Nice video, nice suspend 😂🤣😂😆😅

some static electricity thing?

Choose one akg Lyra vs akg ara

So if you never move it it’s fine

I bought ara and this rumbling sound is terrible when desk, keyboard etc is even touched. It is really bad for calls, presentations etc when someone has to use keyboard. I have to be really careful not to touch anything

Have you tried the AKG Lyra or Mackie CARBON Premium USB?

Can you test it nowadays... please I wanna rap on it .. I want just the best possible sound quality that's it... So before purchasing i want you to test again and give a reply whether it would be best for my rap vocals or not 🙄 I want your feedback, reply, suggestion, about this mic , in terms of just sound quality... Please it's a request 🙏🏻 I'm from India... No one is talking about this mic . I dont know why

really weird.. threre is many multi pattern usb mic. and they are all does same job about noise reduction. i can't under stand why akg doing this..in my opinion maybe AKG ARA have 2capsule. 1 large capsule for cardioid pattern and 1 small capsule for omni pattern. then everything makes sense

Get a Heil PR40. Sounds better.

Sad 😞 Should wait for future usb mic from Austrian Audio

Well, thanks for the review. now im not buying it, yet i wanted. SHAME ON YOU AKG

very weird!
