Turnstile Audio Concourse Series TAC1100 Multi-Pattern Condenser Microphone
Written by Aaron Southerland:
"This mic had tight bass, clean mid-response, and a clear, open high range without being over-hyped or brittle like so many cheap mics. Plus, it came with a nice case and decent mounting hardware, all for a fraction of the price I’d expect to pay. I would be happy to use this mic in a voice-over setting for animation, video games, or feature films. "

Turnstile Audio Concourse Series TAC700 Multi-Pattern Condenser Microphone
Written by Brian Stroner:
"This microphone effortlessly captured the smooth warm tones of the voice while keeping the mids focused and the highs clean and transparent. While the recordings are well balanced, I feel the top end is slightly boosted around 10k which pleasantly added a crisp clarity without any distortion. For a mid-sized, mid-level, multi-patterned condenser mic, I’m quite impressed with the TAC700 and its performance in a post-production setting."

"For a smaller-sized, entry-level condenser mic, this little warrior pulled its weight. The cardioid recordings were clean, crisp, and forward-focused.

Condenser Microphones
When you want to record rich, high-quality audio, it’s important to select the right type of microphone for your needs. Condenser microphones are a popular option for podcasts and radio shows, and for capturing vocals for music recording and voice-over work.
What Is a Condenser Microphone?
A condenser microphone is a variety of mic that uses a lightweight diaphragm suspended from a fixed plate to capture audio. When sound reaches the diaphragm, it moves and converts the sound into electrical signals.
Condenser microphones are much more delicate in nature than dynamic microphones, so they are more receptive to subtle sounds and frequencies. When detailed sound is your priority, a condenser microphone is the way to go.
What Are Condenser Microphones Used For?
Because they are so sensitive to sound, condenser microphones are ideal for capturing vocals, higher frequencies, and other studio based applications. Whether you’re recording a podcast, a singer, or subtle sound effects, condenser mics will help you capture a wide array of nuanced sounds.
Selecting a Polar Pattern
You can buy a condenser mic with one of several polar patterns to better capture directional sound. Cardioid, omnidirectional, and multi-pattern mono microphones are the most common varieties, but supercardioid and bidirectional figure-eight polar patterns are also available.
For recording a single speaker or performer, it’s best to use a cardioid microphone. With groups of performers, an omnidirectional microphone is perfect for capturing sound from any direction. If you want to record two speakers or vocalists who are facing each other, a bidirectional figure-eight microphone is the right choice.
Condenser Microphone Kits
As you shop for a new condenser microphone, it's a good idea to consider investing in a full microphone kit. Accessories like studio monitor headphones, microphone stands, and reflection filters turn your microphone into a ready-to-go home recording studio.
Purchasing your condenser microphone with a few key accessories guarantees that all components will work together flawlessly to help you record high-quality sound from your very own living room.
If you know you’ll need more than one condenser microphone, purchasing a multi-microphone kit with accessories ensures your sound quality will be consistent across all of your microphones while also saving you money.
