Customer Kudos

"Just wanted to say you guys totally deserve your Top 3 Newsweek ranking. You guys make it possible for those who can't drop a few grand in cash all at once to get their dream instrument and begin learning and creating. But even better, you don't harass people about their current balance as long as the payment plan is followed. The ability to make changes to the pay schedule is a life saver at times. From my perspective and experience spending thousands with zZounds, you guys seem like laid back good people. Congrats on the rating."

Stand-Mount Condenser Microphones

There's something magical about microphones. Sure, a mic is just a transducer that converts acoustic energy to electrical energy -- but the character a great microphone can impart to a performance makes that mic special.

So, which mic will give your tracks that magic? It's all about matching the mic to the sound source. Large-diaphragm condenser microphones are a classic choice for recording vocals, and small-diaphragm condensers shine on acoustic guitars. Dynamic microphones are ideal for recording drums and amplifiers, and ribbon microphones smooth out the rough edges on anything from horns and strings to guitar cabinets.

Need help choosing a mic? Follow our Beginner's Gear Guide: Microphones to find the right mic for your studio or live rig -- plus microphone stands, XLR cables, pop shields, and reflection filters. Call our Gear Experts now for help with your purchase: 800-460-8089.
