Welcome to another exciting episode of "Head to Head" on Black Valve! In this installment, we're putting two fantastic microphones up against each other: the Audio-Technica AT2040 and the Elgato Wave DX. Both of these mics come in at an MSRP of around $100, but they can often be found on sale for approximately $90, making them excellent value choices, especially for those starting their podcasting journey. The AT2040 from Audio-Technica is known for its affordability and great sound quality, and we'll take a closer look at its build, features, and performance. It's a solid option for podcasters on a budget, offering a compact design that's suitable for both audio and video podcasting.
On the other side, we have the Elgato Wave DX, which surprised us with its audio quality and build. Elgato, not typically associated with audio equipment, has crafted a winner here. It's a compelling choice, particularly for those just starting out in the podcasting world, with its impressive sound quality and plosive rejection. We also present a mystery mic challenge in this episode, where our team compares the two microphones and shares their thoughts on their performance. Which mic will come out on top?
