Scarlett Condenser Microphone Specs

I am using the Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 along with varous dynamic and condenser mics to record and listen back to my drumming practice sessions. It is easy to setup and the sound is crystal clear.

I've been recording vocals for multiple artists using multiple condenser microphones along with a Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 audio interface and an Auray RF-CMS-S Reflection Filter. Undoubtedly this AT2035 has given us the best quality we could imagine. Along with basic knowledge of recording and mixing, this is the perfect tool for a home studio!

good basic Large Capsule Condenser Microphone.

Use this to hold up my Blue Condenser Microphone. It's impressive because the microphone is extremely heavy #sweepstakes

I had no reason to get these mics except as a bucket-list thing to experience the best technology has to offer (I'm a gadget nerd). How do they perform and sound from a non-professional layperson's perspective? Better than my ears can do - literally. The very low noise floor, high sensitivity, and frequency response are beyond nature's design for the human ear. These are AMAZING mics to geek out over. They are small condenser mics with large condenser specs! Where I could test the m4's built in mics and find their limits of resolving sound, after months using these mics indoors and even outdoors, these are the last microphones I will ever need until a radical technological development fundamentally changes microphone design, and they should last a lifetime with the quality of the engineering (they even have corrosion-proof gold-plated diaphragms). As a non-professional, all I can say is if one just wants to splurge on mics to get a taste of pure quality, these are overkill for even that. These mics will outspec everything else in the signal chain (the specs are probably way higher than on paper due to an unfortunate misprint that has persistently stuck around (e.g. the max SPL is NOT 120db but more like 135-137, and that figure affects other reported specs)), and current eclectic analog-digital technology is very close to physical limits like thermal noise. The m4 mics are well-enough for me; they are good and suffice for recording most things clearly, the tf5's are incredible, so... they suffice too. That seems to be the bottom line for gear - if it suffices there is no point in overkill. Though, I haven't and probably won't grow tired of the tf5's; and it is wonderful to appreciate and enjoy the funfactor when otherwise they are just tools that suffice at doing their job. When money follows bliss instead of merely blood, sweat, and tears, life and the world become a better place to live. These mics enrich my life, and Rode's mics hit way above pricepoint!

This microphone is the best microphone around. I tested it against other microphones with similar specs and this one sounds much better.

I'm using this with a Macbook Pro (2017). and a Scarlett 2i2 interface, a Zoom microphone, with and ipod also attached, and connected to the ethernet. This is mostly to enable piano lessons with 2 views on Zoom, and also make recordings. It has all I need for this and more . (I'm not using any additional screens). I like the card reader and headphone jack- easy to use. I can't upgrade my OS, but it works fine with High Sierra. The Caldigit gets a bit warm but doesn't overheat. I unplug it when not in use. Altogether very handy and nice to have all my wires more or less connected to one source.

Does the job perfectly to split 1 XLR microphone into to stereo input in my Scarlett USB mixer. Thank you.

Love the Rode NTG-1 Condenser Microphone. I use it with my Canon Mark 2
