Beyerdynamic M90 Pro X Review / Test

Today I review a new microphone the from Beyerdynamic, the M90 Pro X. This mic has a crazy low self noise of only 5.6dBa, it offers a controlled lowend, an even low mid section, and a punch upper mid section with plenty of articulation and detail in the treble and air. It comes with a pretty effective pop filter, and a shock mount that is alright but lets in a bit of rumble.
