Stellar X2 Vintage Large-Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser XLR Microphone

This is an amazing XLR mic. Not as heavily advertised as many of the other high end, more popular condenser mics, but as they say; "if you know, you know". Looks great, nice weight to it. Sound is clean and true to voice. I feel like it adds a little "bottom" (aka bass) to most voices... but that could just be my ear? If you are considering a mic of this quality and price range, you can't go wrong. I will certainly be looking to TZ Stellar for any future mic needs before looking at other options.

The media could not be loaded. I have used this mic for spoken voice, and singing voice for video applications and in the music studio. I sounds great for both and has quickly become my new favorite mic. It's construction is solid and it has a good shock-mount and a sturdy case. Would definitely recommend.

Good stuff only for professionals person need

This microphone rolls off the totally anoying treble sibylance freqs. Its like analog clear. Buy this microphone. Its great vintage sound for a lot less money. You wont be disappointed. Its my room or my speaker cab vocal go to. So fraking happy.

The media could not be loaded. I've heard starter mics such as AT2035, 2020, Rode NT1, Senheiser MK 4, And I would say this one has the most distinctive sound overall. Some mics will have a low cut or a pad which this mic does not, but if you are getting a budget mic, then those extra functions can sometimes make the recording in a bad way. Just use the plugins at higher sample rates to do that work and It will be just fine. A great starter microphone.

The media could not be loaded. This Microphone is a great product for the price. The quality of the construction is pretty good. I didn't see any issues with any of the electronics. The Sound I was able to get out of it is very clear and has plenty of potential to be used for vocals, and other instruments.I don't believe in comparing microphones as every microphone is good, just different, even the cheapest mic's have a purpose. But this does sound comparable to vintage sounding condensers. It has that same "warm" colored kind of tone. It might sound nice on voices that need a little help with presence.It is very usable for recording music, I was able to get a good consistent recording from the standpoint, of not getting any extra noise, the sensitivity is fine didn't really need to crank the gain, and this is off of 48v phantom from a simple USB powered interface like what many others may be using.The only improvements I have to the quality, is the shock mount is a bit disappointing. I would have liked to see a better thread-on style shockmount, but I suppose they had to cut corners somewhere to deliver at this price point.I have years of experience doing professional audio, sound quality is truly subjective. You will have to try this mic out in order to know if you like how it sounds for what you are doing, but if you are looking for a mic to add to your collection, or a good choice to start out with, I don't think you'll go wrong with this one.

I worked in the musical instruments and gear industry for over 20 years, and I’ve tried every expensive mic on the planet (telefunken, Neumann), and this mic is incredible. It competes with mics that cost 10x as much. It’s got a U87 capsule reproduction, and they did a STELLAR job on recreating the vintage circuitry. This mic definitely punches way above its price tag.

The media could not be loaded. I've already tried it and it's great. It will be of great help to generate new quality content.
