Budget Guide For Home Studio Mics

By: Conner Mangrove

Setting up a home studio of your own can be a lot of fun, and more and more people are doing this today and performing and producing their own music. Of course, you probably have a limited budget, so you'll want to choose equipment that is affordable, while still getting the quality that you need. One piece of equipment you'll need is studio microphones, and some of the more expensive options can go for $2000 or more a piece.

Don't get bent out of shape trying to find a microphone that fits your budget and also produces the studio quality sound that you are looking for. Whether you're looking for an instrument microphone or a vocal microphone, we've put together a list that will satisfy you. Any of the following microphones should make your home studio professional sounding at a workingman's price.

The Rode NT1-A is our first recommendation for two very simple reasons. First of all it is the best quality sound that you can get for the lower pricing bracket. This microphone will produce super clear sounds for any instrument or set of tonsils. The second reason we like it is because although it is the most expensive mic we recommend, it is a mere 300$. It will be extremely versatile, work for a wide range of uses, and give you the best bang for your buck.

The next gem is the Shure SM57. Just like the before mentioned, this microphone will be a nice all purpose microphone that will produce high quality sound. The other cool thing is that it does not require phantom power to function.

If you decide to pick the Shure SM57 you will discover that you have made a good decision for a few simple reasons. This mic will satisfy all the needs of someone creating a new home recording studio. You will save money by not having to get more than one microphone and you will notice that there is no need to upgrade in the future because the sound you will create will be accurate and high quality. A great choice for beginners.

The cheapest mic you can get for a home studio is the Audio Technica AT-2035. You can never go wrong with Audio Technica. Many sound engineers use this mic because it will provide excellent sound at an extremely affordable price. It will work well for singers or instrument players and should definitely be high on your list for home recording studio mics.

There are a variety of other great options that are reasonably priced when you are considering home studio microphones. A couple other options include the AKG Preception 220 and the SHure KSM27. Both are also good mics with quality sound and a great price.

In conclusion it should be clear now where you should look. There are indeed microphones out there that will produce top quality studio sound and leave your wallet full to spend on other recording needs.
