Microphones To Fit You're Budget Budget Under $100 Marshall MXL 990 Condenser Microphone with Shockmount Manufacturer Description: Large diaphragm, little price. The MXL 990 Condenser Microphone with Shockmount has a silky, sweet high-end while retaining tight, solid low and midrange reproduction. The 3/4" gold-sputtered diaphragm creates a professional sound suited for digital and analog recording. Attractive vintage body style with champagne finish. 30Hz-20kHz frequency response. 130dB maximum SPL. Includes custom shockmount, mic stand adapter, and case. Features: - 3/4" gold-sputtered diaphragm - Attractive vintage body style with champagne finish - 30Hz-20kHz frequency response - 130dB maximum SPL - Sensitivity: 15MV/pa - Equivalent noise: 20dB (A-weighted) MXL 990 Condenser Microphone with Shockmount Includes: custom shockmount, mic stand adapter, case Voice Type: The only voice this mic will record very well is a perfectly midrange voice because the frequency response is extremely weak on the low end and slightly weak on the high end. Opey's Bottom Line: This mic is the cheapest of the cheap. It's the best mic for the absolute beginner that has never recorded before. I recommend this mic to anyone that wants to try out home recording as a hobby and isn't sure if they'll continue their interest after a short time

Manufacturer Description:
USB Condenser Mic Connects Directly to Your Computer! Musicians who record music on computers now have a simple, affordable way to capture high-quality vocal and acoustic instrument performances. Say hello to the C01U, an affordable studio condenser mic with a direct USB output! Samson C01U USB Condenser Mic at a Glance: - Plugs straight into computer - no interface needed! - Quality mic based on popular C01 - Compatible with any Mac or PC recording software Plugs straight into computer - no interface needed! The Samson C01U makes recording on the fly or in the field so much easier. It connects directly to your computer's USB port, with absolutely no need for a preamp or audio interface. Seamless integration is the idea, and it has been obtained by creating a great performing condenser microphone that can be plugged into any computer with just a USB cable. Quality mic based on popular C01 The C01U microphone is based on Samson's successful C01 condenser mic. It features a 19mm internal shock-mounted diaphragm with a cardioid pickup pattern ensuring quality recordings. Compatible with any Mac or PC recording software The C01U works perfectly on any computer, Mac or PC, and with any DAW software program. It immediately solves a huge problem for users of many laptops, many of which have no other input method for audio devices. Features: - Large-diaphragm condenser with USB digital output - Compatible with any computer based Digital Audio Workstation - Extremely detailed sound reproduction ideal for recording vocals, acoustic instruments, and just about any other sound source - High-quality A/D convertor with 16-bit/48kHz sampling rate - Software drivers for MAC and PC provide additional features like programmable gain, LED input metering, low-cut Filter, and phase - 19mm Capsule with 3-micron Diaphragm - Hyper Cardioid pick-up pattern - Solid Die Cast construction - Swivel stand mount and 10-foot USB cable included Voice Type: This microphone is surprisingly flat so it's ok for a wide range of voices. Opey's Bottom Line: I would hardly ever recommend this mic but I think it's worth mentioning. The mic itself has a wide frequency response, which will suit a wide range of voices. The high end is harsh so a deEsser is a must for this mic. This mic is only recommended for the absolute tightest budget. If you have no interest in investing in a recording soundcard and preamp then this mic is for you. Don't expect miracles tho. While the mic itself sounds half decent, the vocal quality will depend on the quality of your motherboard. The USB mic connection has been known to pick up CPU noise and static caused by the inside of the PC. This will almost always be the case, and you will be forced to use noise reduction to help remove the static. Another downfall of this mic is the inability to use a preamp which makes the vocals sound very dry and dead. You will also be limited to working in 24bit/48khz, but if you're pinching pennies you're probably not going to care.

General Microphone Information
Great versatility, creative control, and sweet sonics The RODE NT2-A Large-Capsule Studio Condenser Microphone is a professional, one-inch condenser microphone with variable pick-up patterns, high-pass filter, and pad. 3 - 3-position switches located on the mic body provide selection of figure 8, cardioid, or omni polar pick-up patterns; from a flat response to either 80Hz or 40Hz high-pass filter; and pad adjustments of 0dB, -5dB, or -10dB attenuation. The heart of the NT2-A is the Australian-designed and manufactured Type HF1 dual-diaphragm capsule. The frequency and transient response of this new transducer has been voiced to complement today's modern recording techniques and yet still evoke the silky smooth character of the legendary microphones of the '50s and '60s. Includes a soft pouch and clip. The R¯DE NT2-A represents an uncommon technical achievement. Many mics today look similar, with 1" capsules, a mesh head, and a cylindrical body. It is only when you look a little deeper and listen carefully that the major differences become apparent. If there weren't differences, we would all buy $50.00 mics, and be very happy! Many microphones in the same category sell for thousands of dollars. The difference is that the costlier mics are made with the best parts and precision engineered. While these mics are superb, their smaller production volume makes them expensive. They're hand assembled with parts bought in small quantities R¯DE has changed the industry by pioneering high quality volume production, investing in more design and tooling using the very finest components and capsules. R¯DE still offers the NT2-A at a price that would be impossible using older techniques and technologies. Designed and manufactured at R¯DE's new $10,000,000.00 facility in Sydney, the NT2-A incorporates the latest innovations in transducer design, coupled to R¯DE's surface mount electronics, offering pure signal quality and the lowest noise levels of any microphones with the same features. R¯DE is so proud of the NT2-A that they now offer a full 10-year parts And labor guarantee. R0DE NT2-A Large-Capsule Studio Condenser Microphone Features: Australian designed and manufactured HF1 1" edge terminated, gold sputtered, dual 5 um diaphragm capsule 3-position variable polar pattern: Omni, Cardioid & Figure 8; all controlled on the mic 3-position variable high-pass filter: Flat, 80Hz or 40Hz 3-position variable pad: 0dB, -5dB, or -10dB Ultra low noise, transformerless SMT circuitry Wide dynamic range High-strength heat-treated steel mesh head Durable satin nickel finish Internal capsule shockmounting Supplied complete with soft pouch and clip Designed and manufactured in Sydney, Australia R0DE NT2-A Large-Capsule Studio Condenser Microphone Specifications: Acoustic principle: Externally polarized 25 mm (1 in.) dual diaphragm Directional pattern: Multi-pattern Frequency range: 20Hz-20,000Hz Output impedance: 200 Signal /Noise ratio DIN/IEC 651: 87 dB (1 kHz rel 1 Paper IEC651, IEC268-15) Equivalent noise: 7 dBA SPL (per IEC651, IEC268-15) Maximum SPL: 147 dB (@1%THD into 1k) 157 dB (@1%THD into 1k) - pad at maximum Sensitivity at 1 kHz into 1k: -36 dB re 1 Volt/Pascal (16 mV @94 dB SPL) +/- 2 dB Maximum output voltage: +16 dBu (@1%THD into 1k) Dynamic range of the mic amplifier: DIN/IEC 651 140 dB (per IEC651, IEC268-15) Power (Supply voltage): 48 Volts (P48) Output Connection: 3 pin XLR, balanced output between pin 2 (+) and pin 3 (-).
