Condenser mics


Recommended Posts

What are some good condenser mics for someone on a bit of a budget ($100 or less would be an ideal price)?

 

I need it to record vocals and acoustic guitar. I already have an SM57.

I bought a pair of Behringer condensers (C-2 I think) for $100; they're pretty basic but good enough for recording acoustic instruments/vocals imo.

If you can go a little steeper on the price, these are excellent:

The cheapest alternative of a Neumann I know and very comparable quality.

Audio-Technica makes cheap condenser mics as well:

Love this mic and you can get them for about £69, great on acoustics and other stringed instruments.
