Stellar x2 Vintage

This is an amazing XLR mic. Not as heavily advertised as many of the other high end, more popular condenser mics, but as they say; "if you know, you know". Looks great, nice weight to it. Sound is clean and true to voice. I feel like it adds a little "bottom" (aka bass) to most voices... but that could just be my ear? If you are considering a mic of this quality and price range, you can't go wrong. I will certainly be looking to TZ Stellar for any future mic needs before looking at other options.

It’s perfect. Exactly as advertised

Plugged this into a UA Volt 2, set the gain and captured male vocals and electric guitar perfectly. Myself and anyone who hears it says it sounds exactly like what they hear in the room. If you like that, then no need for any post-processing. Big time saver.

Expectional! Everything works!

This microphone rolls off the totally anoying treble sibylance freqs. Its like analog clear. Buy this microphone. Its great vintage sound for a lot less money. You wont be disappointed. Its my room or my speaker cab vocal go to. So fraking happy.

This Microphone is a great product for the price. The quality of the construction is pretty good. I didn't see any issues with any of the electronics. The Sound I was able to get out of it is very clear and has plenty of potential to be used for vocals, and other instruments. I don't believe in comparing microphones as every microphone is good, just different, even the cheapest mic's have a purpose. But this does sound comparable to vintage sounding condensers. It has that same "warm" colored kind of tone. It might sound nice on voices that need a little help with presence. It is very usable for recording music, I was able to get a good consistent recording from the standpoint, of not getting any extra noise, the sensitivity is fine didn't really need to crank the gain, and this is off of 48v phantom from a simple USB powered interface like what many others may be using. The only improvements I have to the quality, is the shock mount is a bit disappointing. I would have liked to see a better thread-on style shockmount, but I suppose they had to cut corners somewhere to deliver at this price point. I have years of experience doing professional audio, sound quality is truly subjective. You will have to try this mic out in order to know if you like how it sounds for what you are doing, but if you are looking for a mic to add to your collection, or a good choice to start out with, I don't think you'll go wrong with this one.

I've heard starter mics such as AT2035, 2020, Rode NT1, Senheiser MK 4, And I would say this one has the most distinctive sound overall. Some mics will have a low cut or a pad which this mic does not, but if you are getting a budget mic, then those extra functions can sometimes make the recording in a bad way. Just use the plugins at higher sample rates to do that work and It will be just fine. A great starter microphone.

I worked in the musical instruments and gear industry for over 20 years, and I’ve tried every expensive mic on the planet (telefunken, Neumann), and this mic is incredible. It competes with mics that cost 10x as much. It’s got a U87 capsule reproduction, and they did a STELLAR job on recreating the vintage circuitry. This mic definitely punches way above its price tag.

I have recently bought this microphone via my wife's Amazon account (hence the account name looks like a female name, but this review is genuine). This is a great condenser microphone, especially with rich and warm sound in middle/low range! Clearly this mic has no "too much in high range" problem which we often see in some other cheaper microphones. I have recorded my own composition for acoustic guitar with this mic, short video attached if you want to take a listen. Highly recommendable for vocalists and any acoustic musical instrument players.

Il microfono si presenta in maniera ottima, con un design moderno e curato. Ha anche un pratico case compatto e leggero, perfetto per il trasporto in sicurezza. La qualità costruttiva sembra molto buona e , relativamente all'uso che ne ho fatto ad oggi (voce, chitarra) mi ha piacevolmente impressionata. Non ho percepito rumori di fondo durante le registrazioni e la resa sonora è equilibrata e pulita. Il suono è effettivamente "caldo", come del resto mi aspettavo da questo modello con specifica Vintage. Lo consiglierei a chiunque necessita di un buon microfono senza spendere cifre enormi.

Build quality seems good. Very comparable to the RODE NT2A I have. Its a straightforward beast, no dipswitches or anything to really get too lost with. I liked how it worked with my vocals, it was bright and clear but still has a good amount of bottom end. Hoping to use this for years to come. I feel that the Stellar X2 Vintage punches way above its price.

初めてのコンデンサーマイクでこのStellar x2 Vintageを購入しました。 様々な楽器でのレコーディングを行いましたが、特に高音域がクリアに録音できました！逆に低音はややコンプをかけてとてもいい音にすることができました！お値段以上の満足いくレコーディングができました。十分初心者でも満足できるマイクではと思います！

I Bought that Mic for my YouTube channel and for music recording. The Voice sounds crystal clear without losing a certain warmth in the low frequencies. There is no disturbing rush. you can describe it as clear and precise. It's not very big but has certain weight in the hand which I like. The mount is stable. It comes with a suitcase, a little bag, an adapter screw and a pop protection . The impression with recording my acoustic guitar is also good . I can recommend that mic for creators like me who also want to record some acoustic music. It runs with 48 V and has an xlr joint so you need an interface to connect it to your computer. I would prefer ist to my sm 58 from Shure.
