A chat about the 512 Audio Limelight dynamic broadcast and podcast mic from the team at Warm Audio. This mic is aimed at content creators and, although not cheap, it's an affordable mic for many.

This whole video is recorded using the Limelight microphone. Specs are all very well but what matters most is whether *you* like the sound of the microphone and whether you feel it will fit with your use case and your audience.

00:50 - Introduction to Limelight Mic
01:12 - Who are 512 Audio?
02:32 - Hyper-Cardioid Off-Axis Rejection Test
04:05 - First Impressions of the Audio Quality
04:53 - Mic Specs & What's In The Box
07:38 - Build Quality

I don't have tens of microphones to compare to but I hope you find this video useful. If it helps you make up your mind whether to buy this mic or equally whether to avoid it, please give the video a thumbs up or consider subscribing to TDCatTech for more videos like this.
