- In this video we compare three different shotgun microphones. One of them we've used for years and the other is new and pretty popular in the market right now and the cheaper one is just something to get thrown into the mix for fun, but surprisingly it didn't sound as bad as I thought.

I'm also quite partial to my AT 897, but the MKE 600 does sound better by a hair. Not that anyone ever complained about my recordings with the 897, so I won't lose any sleep over my choice. Nicely done.
Thank you! yes I still love my AT 897 also!
what a wonderful review. Thank you so much!
i have a audio technica at857r..i think its called .. its very budget but from what i have seen is very good. i am going to use it in my office full time
Great video. Just bought the MKE600
me too
It is a great one!
Did you!? How are you liking it!!!!??
@@absorbproductions it's works wonders for me
Great video! We have 3 Sennheiser MKE 600 which we absolutely love. If you are doing this for a business like we are redundancy is key. I would have loved to get the MKH416 but for the same price we got 3 MKE600 and that allows us to do more jobs and have a back up mic if something happens to the main.
That's very smart! I would take 3 MKE 600's over one MKH416. we're actually working on a comparison video of those 2 microphones right now! And not to spoil the video yet but the MKE600 punches pretty close to the MKH 416!
@@absorbproductions Love it! In this industry it is easy to focus too much on gear and assuming higher price means better. But knowledge on how to deploy the gear is even more important. For example the most expensive shotgun mic vs entry level and if you do not know how to deploy each mic the more expensive will sound much worse in most circumstances.
This 10000% true! Knowing the equipment is far more important than how much you need to spend especially when it comes to audio. I've had cheaper back up mics sound way better in some scenarios.
Great review and I was debating between the AT8035 and AT897 and choose the AT897 to really increase my level of audio.
Thank you! yeah I'm not familiar with the at8035, so let me know what you go with!
178 subs (plus me) ? I wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't seen it in the comments. I really liked this comparison and that you included such a cheap mic. Sometimes we need these comparisons to see if we can get by with a cheap alternative while saving for the real deal.
Thank you !!! Yes we are all about looking for cheap alternatives that compare to expensive counterparts it’s about the product and the art we create whether it’s for a client or films in short pieces for ourselves there’s no need to spend more than necessary on gear
Mke 600 for me. Interesting comparison. Thank You.
Thank you! Your very welcome!
Awesome production quality for a small channel. Subbed.
Thank you!!!
Senhizer best, warmest. Clear 😊
Ok, I LOL'ed... "Me and this mike go way back...." Thought you were going to lick it.
I have and will continue to
Thank you! Great video, very helpful.
You could have tried AT875r which is more sensitive than the MKE600 and sounds alot more natural. The MKE600 which I liked out of the bunch here sounded too midrangy and towards the harsh spectrum. The AT875r sounds natural and you wouldn't need to eq unlike the AT897
I'm so glad I saw your comment. I've been using the AT875R for voice over for two years, do love it for my voice, and was venturing out for better possible alternatives below $900. The Synco D2, now my back up, wasn't it. So far, it looks like my original choice wins.
@@mamandapanda185 same with me. I undermined the AT875R cuz of its price and rented the sennheiser and was disappointed..
i have this mic too and honestly have not used it much sadly but now i will
Great review. Thank you very much. Liked, subscribed, hit the notification bell.
I like the sound of the MKE600 and the AT897. I'd give the MKE600 the edge.
Thats about where we landed too!
@@absorbproductions I recently purchased an MKE600 for voiceovers and am very impressed!!!
@@KeithCopeland778 It is amazing for that, I am starting to use my shotgun mics more for voice over these days. they sound more natural if your in a treated space for VO.
@@absorbproductions I agree!!!
Thank you. Can want to use the Sennheiser MKE 600, can I use it with my Smartphone? (Google Pixel 7 pro)
Thanks for the video.
I have AT897 and AT875R, along with Sennheiser MKH416.
I found that AT875R, which is cheaper in price, sounds better, atleast to my ears.
MKH416 is a different class though.
Wow ! Yeah I really like the Audio Technicas quietly to price. But yes I just picked up a MKH416 and I 100 percent agree!
Between the AT875R and MKH416, which picks up sibilance more?
hi there sir. I'm a fan of the audio technica AT897. been waiting for a very good review, that can really convince me, before I purchase. my question to you is, what was that noise in the audio? its like an AC unit sound, a fan, or something. I need to be sure, before I blame the microphones
To be honest I am not entirely sure what that sound is. I had the ac off, so it may have been my pc but i think it was only coming from the HTDZ mic which could have been some defect in it.
It had to of been the AC in the house. I may have forgotten to turn it off somewhere in this. The at897 is an amazing mic
Bro the sennheiser no contest for the🥇
100% agree!
in the bluetooth speaker test all 3 mics sounded bad, not really a good test, not a real reference, the bluetooth spaker just doesnt sound good to begin with, just ask a friend to talk into the mics and it would be much fair.
The whole video was recorded on both mics of me switching back and forth, that specific test was just to show if there was an consistency's in the microphones not so much an example of how a voice would sound.
Very nice. Thanks.
Thank you for watching!
Great video!
Thanks!
what would you say exactly made you choose the MKE600? I'm personnaly looking for a mic that's not too bassy and can handle outdoor recording. I had the impression the AT had a bit more clarity/less overwhelming bass. What do you think? Am I mistaken?
So the At897 definitely has more of a flat sound but the Sennheiser has a more full sound and overall a cleaner sound, I wouldn't say it's "bassy" but I think it's a better mic mainly because it's a more sensitive mic with low self noise. Both are great but that AT897 requires a lot of preamp gain to get the same levels. I personally do not like a mic that's too bassy myself which is why I don't use any of rodes microphones.
@@absorbproductions Thanks for the reply! great video
Thank you ! And your very welcome!!
What is your distance from the mics?
I'm not sure if I say in the video, I was about 16 inches away from them
The sennheiser did sound great :-?
you should have tested the ngt4 or deity s mic2
I would have loved too!
@@thecreativetalk and compare to the at897. I think the at897 under appreciated as an entry level shotgun mic. Since it is old, it never gets compared to the newer shotgun mics. The problem using a recorded conversation, is that the mics and processing your used in the recording will alter the sound of the mics you are testing. Who knows if its the sound quality of the recording, the mics you used, etc or the mics you are testing.
@@JohnDoe-fu4qd Dude, they aren't going to be sending him gear at 159 subscribers. He's comparing what he bought himself. He can do more comparisons as the channel grows and the companies start to want to work with him.
Based on the quality of these videos I'd say the channel is going to grow quite a bit.
Thanks lol yeah this is all had at the time of the video. Though we did just pick a Sennhieser MKH416!
Yeah I agree I always like comparing old gear to new gear cause just cause it old doesn’t Necessarily mean it’s not good! And yes that’s why I didn’t process the audio in any way unless I said other wise in the video.
