Today I review a budget mic, the Presonus M7. This offers a rolled off low end, a forward mid section and a somewhat dull air region. I don't think this mic sounds particularly good on any sound source, and I don't recommend it as a stand alone purchase, but if you're getting it as a part of a kit you can make it work.Buy the Presonus M7 (Affiliate Link)Amazon: https://geni.us/prem7Sweetwater: https://imp.i114863.net/preM7Buy the Focusrite 2i2 (3rd Gen)- Same Performance as 18i20 (Affiliate Link)Amazon: https://geni.us/2i32rdSweetwater: https://imp.i114863.net/k6g4dNOTE (FULL DISCLOSURE): As an associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
