Shure PGA48 Dynamic Mic Review / Test

Today I review the Shure PGA48, a budget dynamic mic under $50. This mic offers a very clear sound for a dynamic due to the large boost in presence and treble, which will help your voice stand out in mix. It does a terrible job at handling noise rejection, and it also isn’t the best at plosive rejection. For $34-$39 though, it is an amazing beginner option.
