Which SE Dynacaster Mic to buy? DCM8 vs DCM6 vs DCM3 (ft SM7b, RE20, Sona, PodMic, MV7x, SE V7)

In this episode, I have the entire SE Dynacaster line in the Audio Hotline Studio! I discuss the differences between the original Dynacaster (DCM8) and the newer additions to the line, the SE DCM 6 and DCM 3. Each of these microphones has something different to offer and has the potential to appeal to a lot of people. In this review, I talk about what comes with these mics, the similarities, differences, specs, features, and I do all the usual tests for each of the mics. In addition to that, I do also compare each of these mics to some other mics that could be considered competition.
Here is a list of the mics in this video that are compared to the SE Dynacaster DCM8:
Electro-Voice RE20
Shure SM7b
Blue Sona
Here is a list of the mics in this video that are compared to the SE Dynacaster DCM 3 and DCM 6:
Rode PodMic
Shure MV7x
SE V7

Look to the timestamps to see when each of the comparisons happens!

Check out the testing and audio samples and see if this is right for you! Every person has different expectations of audio gear. If the features are what you need, and you like the sound, then it is right for you!

Thanks for watching the Audio Hotline! I'll see you Audio Nerds next time!
