🎙️ Synco Authorized Shotgun Microphone - SYNCO Mic D2 Hyper Cardioid Directional Condenser Mic with XLR Connector, Professional Video and Audio Recording for Camcorders, Boom Poles, and Tripods Review

I used to have a Sennheiser 416 and for the money I thought it would be great. Not because of my voice. Sold and returned to the condenser microphone. I was dying to try the Gun mic again and then Booth Junkie (Mike Delgaudio) checked this mic up against the 416 and decided to give it a try. Very glad I did. I run mine via dbx 286a and am very happy with the sound quality I get for VO.

I bought this mic based on the reviews I saw, got one and didn't like the sound, replaced it with a second one and got the same poor sound quality. I've seen it compared to a Sennheiser 416 and this mic just couldn't come close. It's almost like a manufacturing defect which is why the sound is so bad. As an audio engineer, there were no tricks to making the sound sound better than just good. I would be willing to try one that works and sounds right. I bought it because I was planning to go on a

I'm by no means an audio expert but I make YouTube videos with voice acting and was looking for a microphone to replace my Deity VMic D3 Pro, not that it wouldn't be a great microphone, I just wanted something I didn't have internal Battery I had to charge or risked muting in the middle of a recording. This Synco Mic-D2 sounds fantastic. It's mostly neutral and natural-sounding, meaning you can add any processing you want after recording. Pros: Great price. Good sound. Excellent build quality…

by the stream that capture the intricate details of the water. * In general, this microphone performed excellently. To give you an idea of my opinion, I have a YouTube channel where I test and review many microphones. What I noticed is that this condenser mic has a crystal clear sound, not muffled or nasal, which can be one of the signs of a poor quality mic. In terms of sensitivity, I was able to capture the range of detailed sound that emanates from water sounds by capturing waves on the…

I've tried several pistol mics over the years but always fall back to traditional large diaphragm dynamic speaker/voice mics. You know the ones - Shure, EV, etc. (I've been doing this for decades, I'm not a spring baby.) After some rave reviews, I decided to audition for Synco. I couldn't believe my ears - - it's great! The flat response curve requires little to no EQ in the post EQ and isn't "hot" like many capacitors. Normally I would use a hard limiter in the post, but not with this synco…

I wish we had upgraded to D2 a few years ago. I first saw this mic on Booth Junkie's YouTube channel, where he does a great comparison between the Synco D2 and the Sennheiser MKH-416, a classic gun mic that costs around $1,000. I was interested in Sennheiser but it's such a big investment so when I found out about Synco I had to try it. My wife and I recently started using Synco for voice acting and it's a HUGE upgrade over the Blue Yeti we've been using for years. The difference between day…

In our tests, the mic proved to be a very effective solution. It's able to lock onto a specific target well while still suppressing noise emanating from your position. It runs on phantom power, so you'll need a power supply, but it's fine for mobile with most mobile amps in your camera (or mixer/panel if you're shooting indoors with a static position). The included case is excellent and provides ample protection for the mics when travelling. This is an expensive mic for what it is. We had to…

I had several friends who kept talking about how good this mic is and that I should try it. I checked out some reviews and videos on YouTube and they were all very good at it, but I decided to check it out for myself and see if it really lives up to the hype. The first thing that surprised me was that this microphone has such a good packaging. The mic itself comes in a really nice hard case and also comes with an XLR cable, windscreen and pole mount. I was already impressed - there is no other…

First of all, this review was written from a voice over point of view. I have no experience with this mic on a boom or with a camera so look elsewhere for this information. But if you plan on using it in your home studio for voice over recording, read on! Most people compare this mic to the Sennheiser 416, a very popular voice-over mic, but I don't own either. If you want to see a great comparison between the two, check out Booth Junkie on YouTube. What I have is the Rode NT2A, another popular…
