AKG D5S is good enough for podcasting? This is an audio comparison test of the AKG D5S and the Rode Procaster. I was curious to see how the AKG D5S (a live vocal mic) compares to the Rode Procaster (a broadcast mic). The result is surprising...

CLOSET AUDIO TEST
This is a real audio test done in front of a closet in my bedroom. No audio treatments and editing, just straight out of the box comparison. Note that the closet is now behind me because I want the least sensitive part of the mics (the back of the mics) to face the main source of noise in my bedroom--the window facing the street below my flat.
Testing parameters are as follows:

-Audio recorded with MacBook Pro
-Audio Interface: Focusrite Scarlett Solo
-Compressed -12
-Normalized to 0
-Boosted to +7.5 in FCPX
-Limiter -1 in FCPX

-AKG D5S connected to CloudLifter CL1 (Gain about 40-50%)
-Rode Procaster connected to CloudLifter CL1 (Gain about 50-60%)
