Sontronics Podcast Pro Microphone Review and Demo

Edit - Remember this microphone is designed to sound different, to have its own character and not have the same high end fizz and crackle we are all accustomed to hearing. I invite anyone and everyone to share their opinions in the comments but please do listen with the video in 1080p for the best audio compression/codec :) Michael

In this video, I share what I believe to be the best sounding and most affordable podcasting and voiceover microphone. The Sontronics Podcast Pro. It is handbuilt 100% in the UK so is both sustainably and ethically produced.

After testing I have found it to be virtually noiseless and has a very full-bodied and warm sound.
Self-noise, hiss and hum seem to be a common issue with microphones and I am amazed by how silent this microphones self-noise is, even at very high gain in an untreated room! 
I was particularly impressed with how it sounded in the untreated large room. The reverberation and traffic were no issue for it!

In this video, I discuss the design, build quality and sound profile of the microphone.
It is available for £99/$149/$99 and can be purchased from many retailers.

In the video, I connected the Podcast Pro to the SSL 2+ interface, the Audient iD44 and Audient iD4. Every preamp/interface I tried it with had enough power to get lots of volume.
