Today, I have the 512 Audio Skylight in the Audio Hotline Studio! As per usual, I go through the Accessories, Build, Features, Specs, I test it thoroughly and I also compare it to five other mics!
The microphones in the comparison:
Lewitt LCT 240 PRO
Rode NT1A
Audio-Technica AT2035
MXL V67 G (Heritage Edition)
CAD E100S

If you want to hear the 512 Skylight compared to even more microphones, check out the comparison in my Lauten LA220 Review, the Skylight is also featured in that comparison.

Not all of the mics in these comparisons are the same. Some are not Cardioid and Large Diaphragm mics like the Skylight. I just wanted to give you some examples of some similar priced/popular mics, as well as a more expensive mic, to give you an idea of what that price difference gives you.

Be sure to check out the testing and audio samples and see if the Skylight, or another mic in the comparison, is right for you! Every person has different expectations of audio gear. If the accessories and features are what you need, and you like the sound, then it is right for you!

Thanks for watching the Audio Hotline! I'll see you Audio Nerds next time!
