For this battle I will read a section of “The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe and switch seamlessly between the microphones.
Which one of these brutal beasts will decimate their foe? Who will go in for the kill? Which of these microphones will bathe in the blood of there enemy?
Let’s start…
THE MIC WAR!
Once the MIC WAR begins, the microphone or audio track you see on-screen is the microphone you are hearing.
