Hi guys,
Currently I use a Blue Yeti for my Youtube maths channel where I provide tuition. I have had feedback here before about turning off the noise gate and things which i will do. The Yeti is nice for the price but I think it sounds too harsh and I want to get a good mic as I have hundreds of videos planned and some teachers are using my videos in their classrooms with old crappy speakers and students use it through old phone speakers - so audio is very important for me.
Currently this is what it sounds like - not great I know.

I need to get a good mic now as the next series of videos will be very important for students and teachers.

So I was originally thinking about the Rode Broadcaster because it is a very common broadcasting microphone in a lot of radio stations. I specifically like the enhanced proximity effect of the Rode. Booth Junkies has tested this against the legendary SM7B and it sounds like he likes the Rode more. I've given a link to the point he starts talking about the proximity effect (at about 8 minutes 40 seconds). And this is the effect I would really like to have, a closer more full voice with bassyness.

But I have also been looking at the TLM 102 and 103 as they both also have proximity effect, but I noticed the TLMs have nicer and softer and smoother tones? And the 103 from videos sounds brighter on the top end which I like (but would it suit my voice I wonder).
So guys, what would you recommend out of the three? I don't mind the cost as it is a one time purchase and my channel would pay for it and it would be a great investment.
Thank you.
