Shure Nexadyne 8/C Review / Test (vs. SM58, E835, V7, and More)

HQ Audio Of Review: https://podcastage.com/rev/nxn8c Today i review the Shure Nexadyne 8/C, a handheld dynamic. The mic has a cardioid polar pattern with good off axis coloration, it has a controlled lowend and a dominant upper-mid and treble boost which allows it to sound less muddy when your lips are on the grill. However, when you're farther from the microphone the low cut and high boost can make it sound a bit unappealing. I also found that it didn't do a greatjob at handling noise rejection.
