Microphone recommendation for recording 2 channel demos


Looking to record sound demos from a smartphone but looking for a better microphone. Something like sound sommelier. Unfortunately he doesn’t disclose what mic he uses. Budget would be $500. Thx

YT video OP mentioned is dubbing I believe. It's not live recording. In that YT channel, the owner wrote "Live" for live recordings in thumbnail pics. Almost his recordings at his shop are dubbed.

I recommend WA-103 mic which is under $500 now. It's only natural sound mic in the world. Alex/WTA

smodtactical OP

@mihorn i think it is a real live recording of the system... what would the point be of a dub? The whole point is to let people hear the actual system (albeit through youtube)

They made you think it’s live recording by moving camera around the room. But there is no sound difference the camera close to tweeter or behind the speaker. Listen to this video when the camera is moving.

On SS’s video, they wrote "Is This The BEST Audio Setup of 2024?" Not the best sound set up. If the system sound is great as as in video, I’d say the perfect sound system. However, they didn’t mention about the sound. The sound doesn’t matter in this video.

Here’s 2 videos from SS channel. I think only one video is live recording. Alex/WTA

The live recording always have the room sound signature. SS’s video doesn’t have any room signature. Listen this recording with and without the room signature.
