2-Pack Pencil Stick Condenser Mic

Trying to mic a clarinet for a live band (drums, bass, guitars... that kind of band) performance without spending big money has been a challenge. This is the third mic setup I've tried and I think it's the final! I've used these just once so far for that purpose (super cardioid), and they performed marvelously. I attached a couple of extension mic holders to my vocal mic stand, positioned one up high and one down low, plugged into a mixer and voila, no more missing notes or feedback, and just one DI for the venue to deal with. I didn't even have to position them super close, which let me move a bit. Also used a single cardioid to lightly amplify a guitar for a live stream and it sounded better than any other mic in my house. Granted they're all vocal mics and this is my first experience with cardioid, but the sound was remarkably warm and rich. My only gripe is that the top of the case could use a thicker piece of foam. There's enough room for the mics to slip out of their slot a little, but that's an easy and cheap enough fix and the case is otherwise very nice. I'm so glad I took the chance on these when I could have easily spent 4 times more. Someday when I have a nicer clarinet and am making that big clarinet money I can upgrade.

Neewer does it again! I am utterly blown away by the quality of these microphones for such a low price point. They rival the quality of the M-Audio Solaris for just a fraction of the cost. I will be buying more of these in the future!

I am very pleased with the sound quality of these mics. I use them to record a full rock bad rehearsals and they sound great. We play loud, aggressive rock, and the mics to not distort, they retain clarity. I've only used the standard pre-installed caps, and they work great. These sound as good as mics costing much more. I hope they last!

Small and compact carrying case. Neat little kit for protection and easy travel. Sounds like a newer condenser recording.

I bought these mics to record a marching band (outside). Put 2 dead cats on them and mounted them on the 35 yard lines, and was very surprised at the performance. Good range and clear recording. Originally I had some interference on one of the mics but it was easily rectified. For the money, these are terrific to use if you occasionally need small condenser mics. Buy with confidence.

Are these the most premium acoustic microphones on the planet? No. But for a budget 2-pack, they are highly capable. I run them through a digital front-of-house sound system with plenty of onboard EQ options, which easily cleans up any minor sonic shortcomings. The real selling point here is the inclusion of interchangeable capsules for different polar patterns, making them incredibly adaptable.

These are really great quality microphones. The different capsules allow you to compromise between directionality and audio quality. We use these as room microphones in the church to pick up the people singing as well as the piano and those signals are fed through to the live stream. We are using the cardioid pattern, and the sound quality is really good. The Omni was also really good, but picked up too much of the surrounding room that we didn't want including in the feed. The hypercardoid was a little too narrow and sounded a little tinny, plus the volume was much lower . But having the options was really good to allow us to fine tune our setup, and the quality of the audio is really good. Highly recommend.

Perfect for mic’ing church’s acoustic piano. Our piano never sounded better. The affordable cost made this purchase well worth it

Ne ho comprati 4 coppie. Difetti: la valigetta non ha un bugnato sul lato superiore per cui gli oggetti all'interno potrebbero andare a spasso, i microfoni e le capsule non sono accoppiate, il rapporto S/N è buono ma non ottimo, gli inserti in ottone all'interno delle clip tendono ad uscire se si mette un adattatore senza ghiera. Pregi: costo/prestazioni senza eguali Non arrivano a livelli top di neumann schoeps etc. per cui non sono consigliati per registrazioni di studio ma vanno bene per esibizioni live dal budget ristretto in cui l'affitto di microfoni pregiati non è perseguibile, li ho usati sugli archi in una orchestra da camera all'aperto dove era richiesta ovviamente l'amplificazione. Un microfono per ogni coppia di violini/viole con la loro spugnetta antivento (fa il suo lavoro ma se il vento è molto forte forse qualcosa in più non guasterebbe) il suono è ok anche se lievemente brillante ma che in sto caso non guastava, ho usato solo i cardiode in questo caso, l'unico inconveniente è il portamicrofono, se viene messo un adattatore 5/8 a 3/8 per usarlo con le aste che hanno il filetto più piccolo, quando si avvita all'asta l'inserto in ottone tende ad uscire dal supporto in plastica, si reinserisce dando qualche colpetto ma sta di fatto che orientare nella giusta direzione il microfono rimane difficile, si riesce ad ovviare a questo inconveniente usando un adattatore 5/8 a 3/8 con ghiera che funge anche da fine corsa. Su 8 acquistati funzionano tutti (non ho avuto i problemi citati da altri utenti comunque consiglio di provarli tutti e semmai fare il reso se qualcosa non va). In conclusione consigliati al posto di altri della stessa categoria di prezzo.

I admit I kinda bought these because they were so cheap that I couldn't really refuse and I wasn't expecting miracles, right? I saw it almost as an experiment to see how bad they could be. But for a pair of small-cap condensers *including* interchangeable capsules (omni, cardioid and hypercardioid) you can't go wrong. Do they sound as good as KM84s, C451s or C42s? No, of course not, but then again they don't cost many hundreds each. They DO sound good enough that you can probably fake the rest with your techniques... and your end listener will be none the wiser. ;-) Speaking as a recording professional of more than forty years vintage I'm truly astonished at how good these are for the price, but I'm not blind to the principle that you get what you pay for. If you want real quality then save your pennies and get proper stuff. If you want a cheapo pair of mics that appear to function better than you might expect then I recommend this set.

Son micrófonos muy accesibles y versátiles, soy ingeniero de audio, con varios años en estudios profesionales; y compré estos micrófonos con la finalidad de experimentar la calidad, y hasta ahora los he usado en técnicas estéreo para guitarra acústica y microfonía de hi hats de batería y me gusta como suenan, las distintas cápsulas no cambian perceptiblemente el sonido del micrófono y suenan realmente bien para proyect y home studio.

More than happy. These compare well to my Rode NT5. They don't have quite the same "sparkle" but very usable and insanely good at this price with all of those capsules!

Utilisé par 2 ou 4 pour capter et amplifier les voix sur une scène de théâtre. Je suis particulièrement satisfait de la qualité du son obtenu.
