JZ Microphones on Vocals
JZ Microphones on vocals are a no-brainer. The Vintage 67, Vintage 12, and Black Hole BH2 have become staples in my studio over the past few years. They’re built like tanks, are perfectly priced, have a unique design, and — most importantly — sound fabulous on virtually every sound source.
Why is it so difficult to choose "The Best Vocal Mic"?
The pro audio pundits of the internet would have you believe that the fate of your future recordings hangs in the balance of one critical decision: finding “the perfect vocal mic”. Don’t believe the hype. At the very least, don’t get paralyzed fearing you’ll make the “wrong choice” and will be stuck forever with a mic that makes you sound poopy.
The fact is these days there are so many incredible microphones on the market in a variety of price ranges.
If you’re considering a microphone purchase – especially if it’s your first – HERE ARE A FEW THINGS TO REMEMBER:
- Chances are, all the mics you’re considering are great and you’ll find happiness
- There will be more microphones in your future; this is just one
- I’ve never met a mic I didn’t have a great time using and felt satisfied with the result, unless it’s broken or needs repair
- Sometimes inexpensive mics outperform expensive ones. “Vintage” and/or “expensive” isn’t always better
If I only had ONE microphone...
If I only had ONE microphone and knew I’d be using it on a wide variety of sound sources I’d choose a large-diaphragm condenser, preferably with multiple polar patterns and a -10dB pad (otherwise fixed cardioid would do just fine).
All three of these excellent JZ mics fit that description and I would be thrilled with any one of them as my “one and only” all-purpose mic.
