Mic Review: Superstar Microphone "Amazing Voice Magnifier"
Finally there actually is a "one mic fits all" solution for both audio engineers and videographers. The Amazing Voice Magnifier eliminates the need for cables, amps, and outboard effects. It's a perfect solution for DSLR audio, as well as live performance and cooperate video. This mic is as comfortable in the studio as it is at the end of a boom pole or mounted on your Red One camera (Scarlet too). Stop buying shotguns and hypercardioid mics! Sell them and pick up the one mic that does it all equally: The Superstar Microphone Amazing Voice Magnifier.

Thanks Chad, could you recommend a shock mount & windscreen?
I'll be posting all my clunky shotguns and such on eBay tomorrow. That should give me enough $$ for one hell of a Superbowl party. |
That's the thing Rick, you don't need to protect against "shock". It's that good. I do need to find suitable mounting solutions though.
|
Without actually trying it out, I would think Duct taping it to a ceiling or a suitable 'hat rig' would work. It looks fairly light too, so expensive gaffer tape is unneeded. More savings! And I can sell that expensive boom pole too. The mic's attractive colors are sure to draw attention and get the proud owner more work.
Guess I owe you a debt of gratitude Chad. Tell ya what... I'll buy ya a beer and a 12th avenue 'hoe' if your gonna be in NY. HOW COOL IS THAT? !!! |
Perfect!
I've been looking for a good solution to go with my Barbie camera! (I got the brunette. The blonde's DOF is just too narrow for my taste) I may have a solution for mounting the mic to the camera too. (or should I say camera to the mic?) |
Right on Rick! And with all the money you save from buying mics and wireless kits you can afford a couple hos for yourself. But seriously, I'm just looking for the most bang for the buck. No thanks necessary.

Great review, Chad. Is it possible to hack the spring to be compatible with my Mercury Playback Engine? I'm looking for a mic that will decrease rendering times. Sony has one, but it's expensive.
|
That's the thing John, the mic plays itself back so it's compatible with any playback engine.
|
Cool! Could you recommend a case?
|
The Kata "One Man Band" 75 has served me well. It has the room for your camera and, I guess just this one mic from now on. Dang I'll need a smaller bag.
|
That mic should be particularly handy for rap videos.
It's phat for rap with those new "electro bling" colours. Andrew |
This'll go perfectly with the new digital recorder I got for Christmas:
Amazon.com: Barbie Sing with Me Karaoke Tape Recorder: Toys & Games |
Hey that's a great device for second system sound for DSLR enthusiasts!
|
Do you know if they are gong to be releasing a titanium upgrade for the spring? I'm kind of concerned about moisture? Thanks much!
P.S. And is the spring replaceable and available in different levels of resistance? Thanks again!! |
This tool also cures option-itus too. There are no options other than what you see. No more spending, or worrying about how to mod out your mic. It's just awesome as is.
|
I'm waiting for the rumored firmware update...
