Today I review a budget condenser microphone that is under $100 and sounds way better than it has any right to sound. The worker bee provided very usable tones on electric guitar, acoustic guitar, singing, and spoken word. The low end did get a little bit loose and uncontrolled, but a little bit of of corrective EQ could clear this right up. Ultimately for $90 the kit you get is hard to beat.

Today I review the Rode M2, a handheld, supercardioid, condenser microphone. I love this microphone. The mids and treble of this microphone are extremely flat, and then you get a nice boost in the air frequencies to open it up. It does a great job at background noise rejection, plosive rejection, and handling noise rejection, and provides an extremely smooth and natural sound. Absolutely killer mic at the price point.

Today I review the Telefunken TF47 which is a mid-forward multi pattern tube condenser microphone. This offers great mid clarity and a robust low mid section with a tame air sound. If you're going for that more vintage sound, this thing sounds great.
