Condenser Microphones

Condenser Microphones at a glance

A condenser microphone is the studio-style form of the microphone family, used where detailed vocal pickup matters: speech, discussion and recording setups where the voice must come through with nuance. Buyers name this form when a handheld announcement microphone is not the right tool.

Buyers should describe the room and the recording or speech setup in plain terms: the room size, the distance from speaker to microphone, and the mixer the microphone must feed. Those details shape the brief more than the category name.

This page states no sensitivity, frequency, size or compatibility figure as an available specification. State the room, the distance and the mixer in your inquiry.

Before ordering, describe the recording room, the sound sources to be recorded, and the mixer already in use, so the microphone can be chosen for the recordings. Note whether the room is quiet or shared with other sound, since that shapes which microphone suits the session.
