From “The Best Microphones For Recording Vocals” Guide At publication time this was the Equal Highest Rated Vocal Studio Mic between $100 and $200 along with the
sE Electronics X1 S &
AT2035 .
Cons Sounds dull and bloated on dark and low-pitched vocals such as baritone Pros Warm and smooth sound – great for taming high-pitched, sibilant, and screechy voices High-quality chassis and internal components A good mic for recording vocals isn’t always from the bigger brands. TechZone (or TZ) Audio Products is somewhat of a lesser-known name in the recording community. The Stellar X2 is a modern condenser microphone that earned its reputation in many gear circles as a hidden gem. Thanks to its sound that’s tuned to eliminate the usual “harsh treble” found on cheaper condenser microphones.
The “k67” style capsule is constructed with high-quality Japanese Mylar. It is also gold-sputtered using the company’s proprietary tech. The circuitry is rounded out by a transformerless JFET circuit with up to 1% tolerance between components.
I love the warm and smooth sound this mic presents, a tonality usually not found with mics at this price point. I also praise the Stellar X2 for its build quality and taking a peek inside you will see the internal componentry is also done to a very high standard.
In TZ’s quest to create a warm-sounding mic for less, they have sacrificed some versatility. I found the sound to be dull and bloated in the low midrange frequencies of baritone vocals.
The TZ Audio Products Stellar X2 is a mic with a great price-to-performance ratio. Get it if you want the best studio recording microphone to warm up higher-pitched or sibilant voices. It also does well to give a nice midrange push to instruments should you need it.
