Sensitivity, latency, and capture quality of a studio microphone are the main factors to perform a quality recording. Usually, studio microphones are divided into two main categories which are vocal recording microphones and instrument recording microphones. In this article, I listed details about vocal recording microphones which are specially designed to pick up sound from one direction. (Please note that I added few cardioid microphones under budget list due to high recording quality.) Due to that, we need to choose it very carefully according to our requirements and budget. Considering the price as a major factor, I divided studio microphones into three categories which are budget, premium and Amazon recommendations. Budget studio microphones are for beginners and home studios. Premium studio microphones are for people who can afford a reasonable amount and for people who are working as professionals.

I did not write detailed paragraphs about studio microphones but I listed all the key features of studio microphones that we should consider before buying. Also, in this article, I listed some affiliate links from trusted sellers in the following tables according to the countries and regions. studio microphones are listed according to their recording qualities. I am a sound engineer and please note that all of these ranking and reviewing are done according to my own ten year working experiences in the music composing field. Also, there are some more good brands in today’s market that I didn’t mention in this article because I am unable to find trusted sellers. So, I will try my best to update this article every month when the arrival of competitive new products and trusted sellers.
