Condenser Microphones
Condenser microphones provide good sensitivity at all frequencies to make recordings shine. These microphones are also often used where a wide band of frequencies is to be picked up - i.e. recording choir vocals, acoustic pianos, or hi-hat cymbals. Condenser mics are also great to use overhead to pick up sounds from an entire drum set.
