Foreword
Like many of you, I have been searching for the perfect vocal microphone for my home studio. While many would steer towards microphones by established brands such as Neumann, AKG, Audio-Technica, Rode, Shure etc, I - while owning an AT4040 myself - have decided to go for boutique microphones based on word of mouth by fellow musicians/sound engineers and also forum discussions (Gearslutz mostly).
Parameters
In attempt to test the sonic qualities of each of these microphones with different voice types, I have selected 4 songs from various music genres that utilize separate parts of the male vocal range.
They are:
1. "Fly me to the moon" - Frank Sinatra
2. "All My Life" - K-CI & JOJO
3. "Kryptonite" - 3 Doors Down
4. "Livin' On A Prayer" - Bon Jovi
*To preserve objectivity of the test, i will not post the identity of the mics here. Please refer to the youtube video description if you want to find out which is which. Also, if possible, please drop me a like/subscribe. Your support helps me put content like this up for you guys! Thanks in advance.*
