It's Not Good - Tonor TD510 Review / Test (vs. XM8500, Q2u, AT2040USB)
HQ Audio Of Review: https://podcastage.com/rev/td510
Today I review a budget dynamic mic which costs about $60. It has so much in terms of low mids that it makes ribbon mics sound weak. It has an inverted polarity on the USB output and it makes the audio sound bad. The headphone amp is noisy if you're monitoring yourself. It is not a good mic and I do not recommend it.
