Speaker and microphone comparison (Amon Amarth cover)

In this video I'll go through these speakers and microphones:

Celestion Vintage 30
Celestion G12K100
Celestion G12T100 "Hot100"
Eminence Texas Heat

Shure SM57
Sennheiser MD421-II
Audix i5

The sounds are actually impulse files of the microphone/speaker combination that I have made from my Matamp cabinets using the same setup for each impulse. This should give you a rough estimate on how the different microphones and speakers sound compared to each other.

It's me on the vocals. :D

not fair, when the higher watt speakers are clearly much lower in volume. you should balance them.

[nakedzen]

@johnosstreeter They're all the same volume. The darker speakers will seem quieter though.

[johnosstreeter]

@nakedzen what do you mean the same volume? how did you make sure?

[nakedzen]

@johnosstreeter Because it's the same exact track the whole time, only the eq changes.

0:33 for me. Thanks a hell of a lot for making this vid.

Texas heat very clear..... Vintage 30 too much treble.... g12K nice but missing something... g12t...... dark... SM 57 best for recording
