The LS208 is a new kid on the block....but it came out swinging, and it definitely landed some punches. What do you get when you have a large diaphragm condenser with the off axis rejection of a dynamic? Well you get a microphone that makes me very happy. Here's how it sounds vs the Shure SM7B, RE20, and more :)
