Top Ten Condenser Microphones

Is a little heavy, but that’s is perfect for the biggest microphones. Perfect for condenser microphones on the desk.

Many years ago I bought the one for dynamic microphones and it has always served me well. Now I bought this one for condenser microphones and so fa it has been just as good. I love it!!!

We are using these condenser microphones for a 20 member church choir. The product literature was very helpful for us in assembly and future modifation of our sound system. The sound technician and I also liked the on-line tutorials that Audix posted.

We use Audio-Technica wireless microphones in our worship services. From time to time we have to replace the Condenser Miniature Microphone. B&H has exactly what we need at the best price.

I purchase this Rode WS2 for Rode NT2A mic. Is working superb with Rode large condenser microphones.

I had originally bought a pair of Samson CO1U condenser microphones and ended up returning them after attempting to record a piano only to find an incredible amount of noise. I tried to tweak the settings of the recording software for over an hour to no avail. So I tried a pair of AT2020USB's and found a night and day difference! The gain on the AT2020USB is a little on the sensitive side, giving some pretty harsh distortion when you go beyond the threshold. But once I had all of the levels just right, they sounded amazing! The AT2020USB may be a little more expensive than the CO1U, but the AT2020USB is far more superior in both sound and build quality. I can confidently say you will not be disappointed!

Great microphone in good price. I usually use it for the trumpet, and it has a warm sound which is unusual for the condenser microphones in this price range. It also allow me to record little details such as articulations and dainamics.

I have bought several of these microphones throughout the years. I don't know another large-diaphragm condenser microphone with this price point that records as good audio as the NT-1. It has almost no noise to speak of. I pair it with a Scarlett 4i4 and the quality I get is incredible. Couldn't recommend this enough.

I'm not exactly a master of all microphones, but I own a couple of TLM103s and maybe 6 other types of condenser mics. These mics sound fantastic. They're pricey, so if you have over $1,000 to spend on a microphone, I'd recommend getting one of these to produce a really clean recording of pretty much anything. I use it to record vocals, drum sets, other percussion, acoustic and electric guitars (paired with other mics), and it always sounds great. I've always used with the Neumann shock mounts.

I have always been a big fan of the AKG small capsule condenser microphones. Sounds amazing for drum overheads or acoustic guitar placed near the nut.
