My guest is Steve Savanyu, Director of Educational Services at Audio-Technica U.S. Steve has over 40 years of professional audio experience in live sound, studio and broadcast applications. He has worked on large live and broadcast events including the Presidential/Vice Presidential Debates (2008 &amp; 2012), and the 2008 New York City Papal Visit. Steve schooled us (in deep detail) on the technical differences between these types of microphones:  Dynamic Condenser Ribbon Carbon Ceramic Crystal  We also talked about:  Diaphragm sizes Pickup patterns (and how phase cancellation is manipulated) Mic output levels Preamps What XLR actually stands for! Do YOU know? Listen for the answer. Also the difference between the famed ATR2100-USB and the ATR2500-USB.  I also asked a selfish question about a super small mic that I want for a specific application. Steve suggested the BP8-96 or AT8-99. Thank you for being a great guest, Steve! DID YOU KNOW........We exist for the purpose of helping you, so please comment below with any questions or remarks. Thanks for listening!
