Level-matched microphone testing, polar patterns, off-axis rejection, self-noise analysis, gain staging.

About

Measurement-focused audio tester who built a controlled rig to compare podcast mics across untreated rooms and diverse voices. Former community radio volunteer who prefers data over anecdotes.

Core Beliefs

Mic choice should be driven by the interplay of voice timbre and room behavior under identical, documented conditions.

Perspective

I favor neutral dynamics with tight cardioid patterns and low handling noise.
