Today i review the Neat Worker Bee 2, a budget condenser microphone. This has no switches or filters, it simply offers a cardioid polar pattern and a slight V-shape sound profile. It has a powerful low end, slightly recessed mid section and a clear top end. It does a sub par job at plosive rejection and the shock rejection also leaves a little bit to be desired, so it would have been fantastic for this to come with a shockmount and pop filter, but at the price, I can't complain too much.RECORDING SETTINGS:Interface: Focsurite Scarlett 18i20 4th GenConversion: 24-bit / 48kHzGain: +31dBBoosted in Post: +11dBSPECS:Polar Pattern: CardioidFreq Response : 20Hz - 20khzSensitivity: ~ -34.5dBMax SPL: 145dBImpedance: 50-ohms&nbsp;Buy the Neat Worker Bee 2 (Affiliate Link)Amazon:&nbsp;<a href="https://geni.us/workbee2">https://geni.us/workbee2</a>Buy the Focusrite 18i20 4th Gen - (Affiliate Links)Amazon:&nbsp;<a href="https://geni.us/18i204th">https://geni.us/18i204th</a>Sweetwater: <a href="https://sweetwater.sjv.io/18i204th">https://sweetwater.sjv.io/18i204th</a>B&H Photo: <a href="https://bhpho.to/3DLyvHf">https://bhpho.to/3DLyvHf</a>Thomann: <a href="https://thmn.to/thoprod/596531">https://thmn.to/thoprod/596531</a>NOTE (FULL DISCLOSURE): As an associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
