Presonus PD-70 Mic Review / Test (Compared to Podmic, SM7b, SM58, v7)

Today I review the Presonus PD-70, a budget podcast broadcast microphone that slightly resembles the SM7b. This mic is built like an absolute tank, and it does a great job at background noise rejection. It is more of a top heavy sounding microphone with a little bit of graininess to the sound and you’ll most likely need to do a bit of post processing for long form spoken word content.
