The Superlux S125 is 1/2" diaphragm cardioid externally polarized condenser mic with a triple pop filter for studio sound but at a fraction of the price. Like the Neumann KMS104, the multistage pop filter does not use any foam components so it will maintain its excellent sound for years. The capsule is shockmounted for low handling noise, and the case and grille are conductive to resist RF interference from cell phones and other sources. The S125 has a switchable 10 dB attenuator and a switchable low cut filter. Both switches are under a rubber cover to protect them from moisture and accidental change. The maximum level is 148 dB SPL and the noise floor is only 18 dB SPL A weighted for an amazing 130 dB dynamic range. Each mic comes with a stand adapter, and a carrying bag for $135.00 plus shipping. Ground shipping in the 48 states is $19.00 for one mic and an extra $4.00 for each additional mic on the same order.

Superlux FH-12, FH-12S, & FI-10 |
The Superlux FH-12, FH-12S, & FI-10 are their new Sonata Series dynamic vocal and instrument mics with good gain before feedback and a very reasonable price. They utilize modern manufacturing techniques and very rugged modular construction. They have more extended high frequency response than many more common dynamic mics. The FI-10 is the closest in sound of any dynamic mic in my collection to the sort of crisp "condenser mic sound" you would get from the S125 above. The FH-12 and FH-12S split the difference in sound between the FI-10 and the more traditional dynamic vocal mic sound such as you would get from the PRO-248 below. Since these are dynamic microphones they do not require phantom power. This makes them ideal if your mixer does not supply phantom power. The microphone element is protected inside a massive steel ring with a hardened steel outer grille. This assembly screws into the die cast zinc alloy body and connects with sliding Gold contacts (no wires to break). If you are looking for a mic with a more modern sound, excellent performance, rugged construction, and good handling, you have found what you are looking for.

The response of this mic is flatter and more neutral than that of the CM-H8 series, and in fact is fairly close to that of the Shure KSM-32 but in a handheld package. Improvements over the original PRO-238 include a stronger mount for the capsule, improved shockmounting for less handling noise, a nicer to handhold case, a foamless internal windscreen system for clearest sound, and a more neutral color. Each mic comes with an external windscreen, stand adapter, and zipper carrying bag for $179.00 plus shipping. Ground shipping in the 48 states is $19.00 for one mic and an extra $4.00 for each additional mic on the same order.
