Three mics . . . which sounds best on voice over? (shoot out)

[scottstoked]

Three different mics. All hooked up and going straight into my GAP Pre 73 with no eq or fiddling around.

I'm still fairly new at all this and am still training my ears. Sometimes what I think sounds good, may actually be a dogpile.

Appreciate feedback and will let you know which mic is which after I've gotten a few responses. Thanks!

I think mic B sounds the best of the three.

On my cheap PC speakers...

1) mic B - cleanest, loudest, clearest
2) mic A - not much different, but seemed to have a higher noise floor.
3) mic C - noise from non-mic things were very evident. (USB mic?)

Basically B had the fewest distractions. Which is what you want in a voice over mic.

Yes, C has some self noise hum going on for sure. I was surprised when I heard it. I don't think this is typical of the model. A few more replies and I'll post which mic is which. Thanks, guys!

Better?
B) was kinda bassy to the point where it sounded like there added bass And muffled.
A) was about the same but with out the veil of muffleness.
c) was a more natural sound yet open and airy on the high end.

But this is all from my computer speakers and not at all good for listening to references.

If not for the hum I would say I like the sound of mic C best. But since the hum is there and very annoying I vote for A. I agree with whoever it was that said B sounded a little bassy... You don't notice it unless you flip back and forth. Shame about the hum in Mic C, though as I thought it had the most natural sound other than the noise...

I vote for A.

Did you demo a shotgun by chance?
