    I was like that before (yrs. ago), now I can hear the difference from just a slight movement. I could definitely tell the difference.

    Each piece of clarity is important in sound.

    for people who want to place this mic upside down while standing, take out the holder piece of the shockmount and flip it upside down(it comes out by u unstringing it) then simply string it back

    Great tip, but I don´t felt the diference when you put the mic at distance.

    Well, maybe great frequence capabilities.
    Wich mic are you using?

    the reason you …
    the reason you probably have more low end (or resonance) to the mic is because you are talking CLOSER to the mic…a property of cardiod mics. the best thing to do would be to flip the mic around and point the side down toward your chest (pull the top of the mic toward you). the problem then is that it just doesn’t look as cool then. the cardiod pattern of a side addressed mic does not point downward as you explained. it points out of the side of the mic. but don’t believe me…look it up.

    I have this microphone and I don’t hang it upside down, I have it on a gooseneck and up straight with a shockmount and a popfilter, speaking off of the mic is absolutely you need to speak directly into the cardoid pickup as it is omni direction too it will only pick up sound mainly from one side so speaking above or below the mic will sound shit. Spaking directly into the pickup area enchances and gives your voice a much deeper sound and clearer sound. I know, I do weekly podcasts.

    There’s not alot of difference as far as I can tell.
    You’re loud and clear from start to finish.

    I think you missed what he said. Positioning of the mic is key.

    cracking his neck wasnt necessary on 47: seconds. wtf was that.

    dude is placing the mic correctly but the reason for him doing it is completely off. This is a side addressed mic so when he positions it he is speaking directly into the element. The mic isn’t pointing at his chest it is pointing at his mouth.
