Condenser Microphones

Condenser microphones have active electronics which means they require extra voltage known as phantom power in order to operate. We offer studio mixers that have this built into them so you can get your condenser mic up and running. Although it could be seen as a disadvantage that you need extra equipment for a condenser mic to work, by utilising a mixer with one, you then have better control over the audio with the bonus of EQ control.

We also offer handheld condenser microphones which can be used for live purposes. If you want to get studio-quality audio from a condenser mic, but want the durability and strength of a dynamic microphone, then these are for you. They are also great for amplifying sound from drum cymbals in live use, as the high frequencies cannot be picked up from dynamic mics.

A lot of our condenser mics come with stands included. You will see two types of stands; boom-arm and desktop stands. Boom-arm style stands can be mounted onto the edge of your desk using the clamping mechanism, and this is great for studio use as you have simple adjustability and can place the microphone as you desire. Desktop stands are just as good, as they can simply be placed in front of you and are easily moved as they don't need to lock onto anything.
