Congo Professional Condenser Microphone

[Large Diaphragm] good basic Large Capsule Condenser Microphone.

[5/8" Receiver] Use this to hold up my Blue Condenser Microphone. It's impressive because the microphone is extremely heavy #sweepstakes

[22 x 17 x 7"] I use this as an insert on a mic channel to help EQ a sensitive condenser microphone. Works great!

[-43 / -23 dB] I really should have bought the ADX20IP Cardioid Condenser Instrument Microphone WITH the APS910 Power Supply ... but oh well ... live and learn. I use it connected to the Tascam DR-100 MKII and have loved the results.

[Solid-State] I had no reason to get these mics except as a bucket-list thing to experience the best technology has to offer (I'm a gadget nerd). How do they perform and sound from a non-professional layperson's perspective? Better than my ears can do - literally. The very low noise floor, high sensitivity, and frequency response are beyond nature's design for the human ear. These are AMAZING mics to geek out over. They are small condenser mics with large condenser specs! Where I could test the m4's built in mics and find their limits of resolving sound, after months using these mics indoors and even outdoors, these are the last microphones I will ever need until a radical technological development fundamentally changes microphone design, and they should last a lifetime with the quality of the engineering (they even have corrosion-proof gold-plated diaphragms). As a non-professional, all I can say is if one just wants to splurge on mics to get a taste of pure quality, these are overkill for even that. These mics will outspec everything else in the signal chain (the specs are probably way higher than on paper due to an unfortunate misprint that has persistently stuck around (e.g. the max SPL is NOT 120db but more like 135-137, and that figure affects other reported specs)), and current eclectic analog-digital technology is very close to physical limits like thermal noise. The m4 mics are well-enough for me; they are good and suffice for recording most things clearly, the tf5's are incredible, so... they suffice too. That seems to be the bottom line for gear - if it suffices there is no point in overkill. Though, I haven't and probably won't grow tired of the tf5's; and it is wonderful to appreciate and enjoy the funfactor when otherwise they are just tools that suffice at doing their job. When money follows bliss instead of merely blood, sweat, and tears, life and the world become a better place to live. These mics enrich my life, and Rode's mics hit way above pricepoint!

[50 Hz to 20 kHz] I bought the AKG C3000 primarily because I was looking for a decent condenser microphone, form a reputable manufacturer, within budget. I never expected a magnificent sound from this mic. But my expectations were surpassed considering the sound derived form the C3000. To begin with, this mic is solidly built in Vienna, Austria and looks elegant in black metallic finish. I use it with m101 preamp and the sound is clear and upfront. Given the price, it delivers a well defined sound. I am pleased!

[16-Bit ] In my case, I needed a microphone that was easy to install and would work anywhere. The result is very close to the system I have with microphone condenser + audio interface. The selector switch makes it possible for me to use the microphone in different environments and for different utilities. That is, versatile and with quality.

[1.9 lb / 0.9 kg] I’ve been wanting a way to attach a condenser microphone to my flute for years, and this little device fits the bill perfectly. Perfect for nominally acoustic settings where the sax and clarinet are present enough without amplification, but the flute requires just a bit to be heard above the rhythm section, if you already own a small condenser mike as I did, this is ideal. Yes

[Fluorescent] The Good thing I found it in this stand, is the on/off switch. You can turn on the condenser microphone silently without any noise. This feature is difficult to find it in any on/off switch in condenser microphone.

[4' / 1.2 m] This cable works fine to connect CAD GXL1800 condenser microphone to a 3.5mm audio input jack on an ATEM Mini Pro. Both channels of the ATEM are driven, levels are fine, and the ATEM supplies phantom power to the microphone.
