To be honest, the Yeti doesn’t sound all that much better side by side, and you may actually like the unique tone of the TC-777 more.

While I’ve dictated Google Docs in the past, I’ve never had a more accurate translation experience than with the TC30.

One issue I have with the Tonor is volume. It sounds pretty quiet in comparison to the other demos I did. Cardioid mode records audio directly in front of the microphone to capture richer sound at the cost of a realistic sound image. The Blue Yeti microphone not only includes a cardioid mode but also stereo mode, omnidirectional mode and bidirectional mode for a total of four diverse sound profiles. For those recording music or live events, this is the difference between sound reproduction surrounding you like you’re actually there versus a flatter, more direct tone. Generally, podcasters and video makers use USB microphones for their content.

But to produce crisp audio records, TONOR's best USB microphone TC30 comes into play with its noise reduction technology and other key features. What Does a USB Microphone Do? I would say that yes, the Go Mic does sound ever so slightly cleaner and more articulate than the Tonor, but you’ll notice some ambient noise present in the Go Mic recording.Pound for pound, I do think it outperforms the other mics and doesn’t sound artificial while doing so. Like the C01, the Tonor has that radio broadcast type of warmth to it, and just sounds pleasant and still detailed without being overbearing.

I tested the mic with a few different placements and found that actually holding it level with my mouth yielded the best result.

The Meteorite has sort of faded into obscurity, and rightly so. It’s a piece of crap and sounds pretty terrible, lol. Just boost it up in post-production, or raise the volume inside the program you’re using to record. Between Zoom calls and Discord chats, my Tonor TC30 is constantly receiving love. As my daily driver, this microphone is what I use to chat during work, gaming sessions and group calls. Outside of communication and content creation, the microphone encouraged me to try new features like Windows dictation in addition to the Alexa app for PC. While the TC30 plays nice with both Mac and PC, it truly shines on a Windows machine.

What’s cool about the Tonor is that it does a pretty excellent job at filtering out the noise, unlike a Samson Meteorite, which I also owned at one point.Let’s take a listen: Samson Meteorite https://homestudiobasics.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Meteorite_filter.mp3 Tonor TC-777 https://homestudiobasics.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Tonor_Pop_Filter_2_8dB_boost.wav There’s no assembly or additional driver required. Simply attach the pop filter to the tripod and you’re good to go. I’m noticing that both the Go Mic and Meteor sound articulate but at the expense of a bit too much brightness in the treble. For a features upgrade, look to the Blue Yeti. I have used one for over 3 years and don’t plan on getting rid of it. I also think the sound quality of the Tonor is light years better than a Snowball, but I’ll let you be the judge: Blue Snowball https://homestudiobasics.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Snowball_Test.wav Tonor TC-777 https://homestudiobasics.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Tonor_Pop_Filter_2_8dB_boost.wav
