🎤 Large Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser XLR Microphone - TZ Stellar X2 Review

When I buy a new microphone, I mainly focus on dubbing (commercials, audio books, stories, etc.). I currently use an ElectroVoice RE320 dynamic microphone (with cloud lifter) which makes my voice sound nice and resonant. After seeing Booth Junkie's review of the Stellar X2, I decided to buy it for our booth. The first entry I made was my wife reading an ad. It did a really good job on her voice, bringing out the dynamics and overtones without adding hiss or high-frequency flicker (which I then…

To be honest, I'm not a professional reviewer. I'm not even a professional announcer. I record meditations for people who are struggling at certain times in their lives. I'm paralyzed and that's why I do what I do. I like to help others. I don't like editing. I particularly dislike messing around with my voice and getting rid of things like background noise. After recording a few podcasts and a few meditations with this new mic, I know I have a lot less editing to do. Amazing work. Not…

This microphone is ideal for use in the studio as it has a clean, natural warm tone and is very quiet. Self-noise / background noise is very low. The only mics I have that even come close to that price are well over $1,000. This is very important for people who want to record speech, as the recording will be clean and clear without the need to apply post-processing filters. Not only does this save you time in post-production, but it also improves your final mix by starting with as few filters…

Working in radio and music production and using the famous U87, I've always wanted this sound for my home studio but could never justify the money. I was a bit skeptical when I saw the first review of this mic on the Booth Junkies YouTube channel, but after the second and third listen with headphones I was blown away! It took several weeks to order the device and when it did I again had to wait to check and see the Revain order page. Available! I placed the unit in my booth and quickly set up…

I've been making podcasts, voiceovers and YouTube videos for about 5 years. In that time I've bought tons of audio gear, various microphones that I probably don't need, and tons of junk that just didn't impress me. The Stellar X2 is probably the best of the best when it comes to purchase satisfaction. It comes with a shock mount, windproof foam, carrying case, instructions, carrying case and a note from the seller letting you know they tested my mic for 16 hours before shipping it to make sure…

If you are looking for a great LDC microphone at an incredible price, buy the TZ Stellar X2 now. There's nothing quite like it (or even close) on the market today that wouldn't cost you the proverbial "arms and legs." It's a precision handcrafted product with quality components and materials that sounds incredibly good for a microphone at almost any price point. It has recently been compared favorably to the Neumann U87 in a number of high profile reviews and will not disappoint even the most…

Real excitement! I heard about the Stellar X2 in September and it was said to be every bit as good as the Neumann U87 and at a fraction of the cost! I never had the money to buy a U87 (which costs over $3,000), so I always went with what I could afford. But when I finally got my Stellar X2 in the mail (the shock mount and pop filters in my video/photo are the ones I already had, not the ones that came with the kit) I was blown away! It sounds phenomenal. I've been a big supporter of MXL mics…

When I saw a rave review online from a trusted source (Booth Junkies) I immediately put myself on the waiting list. In review, the Stellar X2 prototype was pitted against the Neumann U87, and it held up. This version is a new and improved version. It feels very premium, I think it's an all metal construction. In any case, it looks much more expensive than it really is. I mainly use this mic for voice over. Audio books and other types of storytelling work. Is that Neuamnn Killer? Well, in my…

Ladies and gentlemen, if you're looking for a top microphone at a low price, then you've come to the right place. Holy cow. the sound is beautiful. Like a few other reviewers, I listened to Booth's comparison to a drug addict and fell in love immediately. I made it onto the waiting list, especially since they "fixed" the two main issues with minimal noise and decibel spread. I am absolutely not disappointed. Without a doubt, this is one of the best microphone purchases I've ever made. So now…
