 Hi there, welcome back to my YouTube channel. This is Daniel Rossell here. I just received a microphone in the post from AliExpress. So I wanted to do a quick comparison so that you can hear the difference between a few different microphones. The microphone that you're currently listening to now, be aware that I have a cold currently, so my voice is a little huskier than usual. I'm in a park in Jerusalem and you can actually hear in the background, I'm going to stop talking for a few seconds. You can hear the sound of chirping birds so I'm not sure if that's going to pick up. The microphone, this is the Boya BYBL 6060. This is the first XLR shotgun microphone with phantom power I've owned. I bought it after I purchased the Canon XA40 Pro camcorder because that has phantom and that has XLR so I can use these better microphones now. The problem is it's a little bit too big for the camcorder. It's a 28 centimeter microphone, it's only a 21 centimeter camcorder. It's a little bit big so I'm planning to get the AudioTechnica one of their short shotgun mics but in order to just test out that form factor, I picked up a cheap short shotgun that AliExpress from Endure. So we're going to swap over now to that microphone and you guys can listen to the difference in sound quality. Alright, so we've just swapped over now to the new microphone. As I said, this is like a $15 Endure short shotgun microphone relative to the Boya that you guys are just listening to. It's a much smaller microphone so it will fit less than the camera bag. Now just to say one more thing because we're talking about sound here. Both shots here are 48 volts. And just for the sake of comparison between camera mounted shotgun microphones and handheld interview mics, you're listening now to the Shure PGA48 connected directly over a wired XLR cable into the Canon XA40 Pro camcorder. So this is a wired XLR microphone you're listening to. This one actually doesn't require phantom power but you seemingly can use it with phantom power without any ill effect because it's a decent brand. So we're trying to replicate the shot. I'm about the same distance from the camera operator as I was before and this microphone has a little bit more handling noise than some of the other Shure microphones but for $50 I think it's a really solid investment. I'm going to give you guys a few seconds of ambient noise pickup using the reporters mic like this just holding it up in the air and that is the comparison between these three microphones.
