Our weekly dive into the best mobile audio gear - 01/30/2021 [SoundGuys]( SoundGuys Weekly - published Saturday, January 30, 2021 [Introducing the newest SoundGuy: The Bruel & Kjaer 5128]( We're giving our audio measurement system an overhaul Here at SoundGuys we’ve long believed in the power of measured data when it comes to reviewing audio products. Objective comparisons are a lot harder to dispute when deciding which product is better in a given category. We’ve shown our data in product reviews for some time now, and now we’re upping our game with a new acoustic measurement system. Introducing: the Bruel & Kjaer 5128!

Picking out a microphone seems an intimidating process. After all, there are so many recording patterns to know about and it seems that picking out a general-purpose mic can be more difficult than selecting a user-specific option. Well, although the Samson Go Mic is about a decade old, it’s still a go-to pick for many starting content creators, gamers, and podcasters. Let’s take a look at this affordable hit.

It’s easier than ever for amateur musicians to circulate their music, and it can all be done without a record label. If you’ve recorded a song and mixed it to perfection, it may be time to distribute it to the world. But how? Dedicated music distribution services are the easiest way to release independent music.

Other content creators might want something more versatile. Elgato has been around for years—its affordable capture cards have made it one of the most important brands in live streaming. However, up until now, the company’s products have largely been confined to interfaces like stream decks and game capture devices. With the Elgato Wave:3 microphone, that’s about to change. Aimed at the same needs as something like a Blue Yeti X, this is a mic for the podcaster, Twitch streamer, and online caller.
