Versus Series: NW-700 vs BM-700

	NW-700	BM-700
Cost	$23.00	$27.00
Microphone Type	Condenser	Condenser
Frequency Response	20Hz - 16KHz	20Hz - 20KHz
Polar Pattern	Cardioid	Cardioid

When looking at the specifications, you may think that the BM-700 should have been the microphone that came out on top, but when listening to the actual sound produced by each microphone the NW-700 is the real winner.

The NW-700 had a much tighter low end and provided more accurate audio reproduction. This led to less booming with the acoustic guitar and vocals, and much better electric guitar sounds.

Both microphones require a minimum of 4.5v to work well, but can run using a full +48v of phantom power without damaging them. Either microphone would be a fine addition to your cheap microphone collection, but if you only have the budget for one, I would recommend the NW-700.

Podcastage Ep. 82: Water on Mars, X-Files, & The Daily Show

Greetings. Podcastage isn't dead yet so that means that there's another new episode. On this episode I do a brief introduction that is nonsense, and then get into the NASA announcement from Monday that there is water on mars (note: to the right of this is the video discussed in the podcast of my reaction to the announcement).

Following that awesome discussion, I briefly talk about how I relate to the x-files and then explore a possible reason why the X-files initially gained it's popularity, and why it is still relevant 20 years later. Finally, I end the podcast discussing Trevor Noah taking over The Daily Show, and certain people's reactions to this! Hope you enjoy.
