In this video I review and compare five high end studio condenser microphones, including the Audix A231, Dachman Audio DA 87i, Lauten Audio LS-208, Lewitt LCT 540 S, and Universal Audio SC-1.

I talk about the form factor, unique features, and accessories included with each microphone, and provide audio samples.

The audio samples show off each microphone in real-world use, as well as a blind audio comparison recorded within my ISOVOX Go portable vocal isolation booth.

Make sure you leave a comment and let me know which condenser microphone in this lineup you think sounds the best!

    Which of these condenser microphones would you buy? Is it the same one that you think sounds the best?

    Late but man, I'm jealous of your mic collection.
  • When will this youtube algorithm hit this channel again, I am waiting for it. Love your videos, helpful, cheers.
  • Imo the Dachman sounded the best out of all of them, listened through the monitors (JBL LSR 305) aswell as headphones (DT 770pro) , the Audix also sounded Clear but maybe lacks a bit of character ? C and D were alright but a bit too harsh to my liking Good microphones for the most part except the SC1 which I found to not even be comparable to the others, it just pales in comparison, I don't really know why, maybe it would sound better on other sources, instruments maybe ? EDIT : Great video btw! You focused on what really matters which is the sound, it seems obvious but so many people out there are doing reviews while not recording anything or having anything to compare it too, subscribed :)

    Bro I’m struggling with this, I have a Lewitt 240pro, and it’s been good since I stayed back in 2019. Don’t know if I’m feeding into hype but I’m looking for a noticeable upgrade. I upgraded my monitors the other day but to be honest I haven’t really noticed a big improvement they just look cool. I’m looking for more of a “wow that’s a lot of difference” Do you find some of these upgrades to be non essential? Thanks
