#MicShootout #Mackie-EM-91C #AKG-C-414
Mackie makes great gear at remarkably low prices. But can the new budget-priced Mackie EM-91C Large-Diaphragm Condenser Mic even compare to a classic high-end AKG C-414?

Robert Cassard plays his 1964 Gibson J-50 and sings lead vocals a relaxed cover of James Taylor's "Secret o' Life" to demonstrate the differences.

What do you hear? Is the AKG worth 10 times the price of the Mackie? Please leave your thoughts in the Comments!

Hi, my name is Robert Cassard. I'm a lifelong guitar player, singer-songwriter, producer, and music fanatic. I create Guitar and Recording Discoveries videos with a simple goal: to make YOU a better, happier, more confident musician!

In 2018, after more than 40 years as a pro musician, I started sharing my experiences through easy-to-understand YouTube videos — giving you shortcuts to de-mystify playing, singing and recording.

My "day job" is as a video writer/producer/director. Often it's hard to balance my need to earn a living with my desire to share the pure joy of music through the YouTube videos I make for free.

Your ongoing support means the world to me and encourages me do more of what I love — sharing musical discoveries to help and inspire you! I invite you to become a "Guitar Discoverer” by signing up on Patreon so I can keep providing you the most value I can. https://www.patreon.com/robertcassard
