512 Audio Limelight Dynamic Mic Review / Test (vs. SM7b, Podmic, AT2040, RE20)

Today I review the new dynamic broadcast mic from 512 Audio, the Limelight. If you’re unaware, 512 Audio is a spin off or subsidiary or something of Warm Audio. This is a very ribbon sounding dynamic microphone with a very powerful low and low mid section. It does a good job at background noise rejection and room rejection but suffers in terms of shock rejection.
