About this deal

A crispy-sounding mic at an affordable price. Be aware that you may end up getting a lemon, overall the mic is certainly solid. It’s also pretty versatile, but some say the build quality is suspect. Similarities & Differences Similarities The downside of this mic being super heavy and durable is that you will need a mic stand equally as beastly. Exceptionally clear and accurate, the SM7B dynamic microphone is the leading choice for podcasting and other spoken word recordings. However, its capabilities are also great for recording rapping.

The SM7B is amongst the most versatile microphones on the market. With an SPL handling ability of up to 180dB, it excels when recording loud sounds, whether they are vocals, drums, or other amplified instruments. A microphone with a frequency response range between 80 Hz and 15 kHz is a good choice for vocal microphones. However, you’d prefer a frequency range of around 50 Hz to 50 Hz for miking toms and snares. A low-end microphone for bass drums would be 40 Hz to 30 Hz. Conclusion Regardless of the pitch and timbre of your rap vocals, the SM7B will suffice. When the low cut is activated, it highlights the mid-range and treble frequencies of rap vocals. When the presence booster is engaged, it works seamlessly with high-end sound sources.Samson seek a share of the budget microphone market with their highly competitive large-diaphragm condenser. The AT2035 by Audio-Technica is an excellent budget option for rappers with their own home studio setup. Its compact, lightweight design makes it an ideal choice for on-the-go rap recordings. Nevertheless, subjective testing suggests that the tonality does stay nominally similar, provided that you remain close to the mic's axis, regardless of which pattern is selected. The high end of the omni pattern will inevitably change as you move off axis, especially with a large-diaphragm capsule such as this one. Smart Performer A good microphone for live vocals is the essential thing in a studio. While all sounds are essential, it’s easier to argue with that statement if vocals are your only option.

This is usually presented with a simple switch, which when activated, prevents the low-end frequencies from making their way into your recordings. Another common inclusion is presence boosting pads. It's a fairly capable mic for the money. The sound captured by the Origin is open, warm, and rich with harmonics. No matter what style of rap vocals you want to record, this pristine condenser mic will most likely do the job well enough. Despite the treble-heavy nature of this mic, it doesn’t sound harsh at all. The instantly recognizable design of the Origin is largely a result of the unique mesh head with a built-in pop filter. This produces a classy, distinguished appearance, but also serves a practical function. The in-built pop filter eliminates plosives effectively in my experience. The frequency response of the TLM 102 is ideal for recording rap vocals. I found that it focuses on the expression of the performer’s vocal style quite successfully. For such a high-quality mic, it is also surprisingly compact.

I used this mic for the first time at a professional studio while recording the first EP of our band. That was quite a few years ago, so it felt incredible as soon as I heard the quality of my recorded vocals, as I was mainly used to SM57's and SM58's prior to that recording session.
