sergeantk Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modey Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 If you can go a little steeper on the price, these are excellent:http://advancedaudio.ca/collections/fet-microphonesThe cheapest alternative of a Neumann I know and very comparable quality.Audio-Technica makes cheap condenser mics as well:http://www.audio-technica.com/cms/wired_mics/2e21cfb668854714/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spunktronics Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 http://www.rodemic.com/mics/m3 Love this mic and you can get them for about £69, great on acoustics and other stringed instruments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheatheman Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 You know what is a good cheap brand? Seismic Audio. They don't make condensers but they make good stuff. http://www.amazon.com/Seismic-Audio-SASTSX-25-Instrument-Colored/dp/B006W5IKG8/ref=sr_1_18?ie=UTF8&qid=1386187838&sr=8-18&keywords=seismic+audio+instrument+cables Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
