Cheap Mics For Studio Voice Recordings

The Mic is used for recording dialogue during interviews and as well studio voice over recordings. It is replacing a Sennheiser MKE 600 and the difference in the sound quality is quite noticeable. I had both of these mics operating and recording recently and my 8 year old put on the headphones and switched between the 2 of them several times and said he loved his voice with the 416. I realize he is not an audio expert but he picked the 416 each time. I will agree with him 100%.

This is used with the in our audio lab for our mics for student recordings.

I've got a number of great mics in my studio, but I was looking for something more flattering to my voice. I did a lot of listening on youtube, and studied specs, response curves, etc. It looked like the 770 would do the job, at a very affordable price, so I bought it. I'm very pleased with the mic. It sounds better on my voice than the far more expensive AT4050, SM7b, and RE320. Those are great mics, and the MXL won't replace them, but for this application it's the clear winner. (I'm using it without engaging the high-pass filter or -10 db pad, but those could be useful features for some applications.) The sound quality is silky, without being mushy. Sonic detail is good. That 10K bump is a bit much, but I'm using a foam windscreen to reduce plosive noise, and that tames the highs quite well. At this price, I didn't expect the build quality to be as good as the more expensive mics, and it it's not: the materials are lighter weight; the grille is not nearly as dent-resistant. But it's still well made, and the assembly is flawless. The shock mount is decent, and the carrying case is sturdy, and a nice plus. A studio engineer once told me that every mic is the best mic for something. In this case the 770 is the best mic I've tried for recording my vocals.

I used this mic in a studio years ago for lead vocals and it just fit my voice perfectly. I experimented with some other mics for home recording and nothing compared. Very pleased with my purchase.

Its either this or a U-87 for voice over recordings. And the 416 is a lot more forgiving.

bought this for a small home project studio. Very cheap for 2 condenser mics. A/B these mics against shure sm27 condenser. Both me and my kid liked the 2020 better, felt it was clearer and more realistic sounding on both voice and acoustic guitar. The 2021 sounded thinner with less bottom end. We'll use them on drums, guitar cabinets.

It is a simple solution to hold my Rode NT1-a mnicrophone to do voice over recordings.

I use this for voice over and is a powerful cheap mic

This is a great option for basic and clean voice recordings. It has its limits but it served well for remote recordings.

I use these cds to make recordings for my customers. They are great for my home studio use.
