Microphones

Condenser (or Capacitor) microphones are fantastic for detailed recording work. When using them for vocal recording, think about if you need a pop filter (to stop plosives) or a reflection shield to minimise room noise on recordings and produce a clearer result. All condenser microphones need a power supply from somewhere, either battery or 48V Phantom Power from a desk or interface.

Whether you're a seasoned professional or an enthusiastic beginner, our selection includes top brands like Shure, Audix, Sennheiser, and more. These mics are designed to deliver superior sound quality, durability, and versatility, making them ideal for live performances, studio recordings, speeches, and events.
