Description

NOTE:Go to techzoneaudioproducts website's support page for video tutorials and recommended setup for connecting to a computer.- Most low-cost condenser microphones have a noticeable harsh and bright tone that makes them hard to sit in a mix and can sound fatiguing over time. The Stellar X2 is different in that we carefully tuned its capsule and circuit to produce a sound that is very smooth and easily sits in any mix without the tinny harshness of low-cost condenser microphones. Furthermore, our custom-made low noise transformerless JFET circuit uses high-quality components such as German capacitors and high tolerance parts. Our K67 style capsule is made from Japanese imported Mylar and is gold sputtered with our proprietary technology. The combination of these features yields a microphone with a high output signal, extremely low distortion, low self-noise, and a very balanced sound.- Included Accessories: Aluminum Flight Case, Spring Shockmount, 3/8 to 5/8” Adapter, Foam Wind Cover, Leather Pouch

  • Excellent Large Diaphram Condenser Microphone
The media could not be loaded. If you are looking for a great LDC microphone at an unbelievable price, buy the TZ Stellar X2 now. There's nothing like it (or even close to it) available on the market today that wouldn't cost you the proverbial "arm and a leg". This is a precision, hand made product using premium parts and materials that sounds unbelievably good for a mic at almost any price point. It has been favorably compared to the Neumann U87 in a number of recent high profile reviews and will not disappoint even the most critical listener. I've been testing the X2 for the last several days in my studio with both male and female vocalists and I have to say that the results have been really impressive. The sound is extremely well balanced; warm lows without any evidence of boominess; a remarkably smooth midrange (where I think this mic truly excels) and a crisp high end that is never overly bright or annoying (like so many mid priced condensers these days). Extremely low self-noise and beefy output means that you can run your preamp at lower levels and avoid distortion and clipping. The X2 has been widely praised for voiceover work but I quickly found that it shines equally well for music vocal applications. The long and the short is that you absolutely will not find a better affordable mic anywhere at this price, or even at multiples of this price. ... show more

  • Beautiful and exceeded my expectations!!
The media could not be loaded. As a professional musician, I'm always looking for the best ways to record my music. I'm so happy that TZ Audio found my YouTube and allowed me the chance to use such a beautiful microphone. I was also not expecting the beautiful storage case and all the extra accessories like the wind cover. The harp is very difficult to mic and I knew this microphone was of professional quality but my expectations were completely blown away by how beautifully this microphone captures the sound. I can't wait to continue creating high-quality music videos and audio tracks. If you're thinking about getting this microphone: do it! It is definitely worth the investment and you will not be disappointed. This will probably be the only condenser microphone you will ever have to purchase. (note: I don't have the microphone pictured in the video because it captures the sound better when it is lower to the ground) ... show more

  • Best sounding budget mic. The superb build quality is a major plus.
When I received this microphone, I immediately plugged it into my Universal Audio Apollo Twin MKII and, with no fx on at all, it sounded beautiful. The slight boost in the low end really warmed up my voice. There is a slight bump at around 5-6k, slight cut at around 8k, and slight bump at 10k. These bumps and cuts on the high end add a beautiful sounding presence. After adding EQ and compression, HOLY COW!!! This microphone is great for vocals and acoustic guitar. I haven’t tried it out on anything else yet, but I’m pretty confident that, with another one of these, they’d make a great pair for overhead mics. This mic is, by far, the absolute best budget mic I have ever heard. I would recommend this mic to anyone and everyone on a budget. You do t need to take my word for it. Watch Booth Junkie’s shootout with a Nuemann U87 on YouTube. That was the clincher for me. Edit: We’ll, I tried it on my guitalele and recorded an entire song using ONLY this microphone, aside from using an amp sim for the bass and drum loops. I was so impressed at how accurately this microphone records everything. It’s almost like it translates what my ears hear perfectly. I can’t say enough good things about this mic. When I can afford one, I will be getting another one, maybe two, if they have a matched pair. ... show more

  • What a Mic!!
Ladies and Gents, if you're looking for a top quality mic for a pittance of a price, this is it. Holy cow... the sound is beautiful. Like a couple of the other reviewers, I listened to the Booth Junkie comparison and instantly fell in love. I got myself on the wait list, especially seeing that they'd "fixed" two of the major issues he had with noise floor and decibel spread. I am absolutely not disappointed. Hands down one of the best mic purchases I've made. So, now that I have the glowing praise done - let's talk comparison. I don't have a Neumann to compare this to. I own four mics now: Shure SM7B, CAD E100S, Rode NTK (which I upgraded the tube for to a Telefunken Black Diamond E88CC), and this one. Let's say that the CAD isn't in the running simply because it is flat - which is a great thing for using your board as you can really color it any way you see fit. The Shure didn't get a head to head for me, as I feel the SM7B is beautiful for bass note/deep voices - very warm. So it was down to the NTK, which can be considered unfair as a tube mic already has an edge (IMHO) since, once it warms up, it spreads honey over everything. For my voice (contralto), the Rode still is my favorite. The X2 by contrast is brighter and touch more shimmery (even after adding not only it's foam head, but a pop filter in front of it), which doesn't make me sound my best. THAT SAID... the moment my baritone-voiced son got on it... it was absolutely beautiful. His voice sounded like a million bucks. It lifted his vocals and added a shine that nothing else I have has done. Even then... my own vocals through it are still nice and it is my solid second in the four I have. I did not send any vocals through my Mackie board for the comparison. They were straight into my Zoom H4N using Kopul Studio Elite 4000 XLRs. In conjunction with those cables, the sound was pristine and super clear. I will rave about this mic until the sun sets for a final time, because for the price this mic is ABSOLUTELY out of this world. I would snatch this up in a heartbeat before they raise prices, because once they figure out they're sitting on a mic that people would pay over 500 for (potentially more - as once this is put through a board, I'm certain the true magic will shine through), I'm sure it won't be this price for long. Get it, get yourself some quality cables, and pat yourself on the back for being the smart cookie who jumped on a tremendous deal for a... ahem... "stellar" mic. ;) ... show more

  • It really is what you hope it is
When I saw the vocal booth guy on YouTube review this saying it's so close to the U87 sound I thought I'd try it out. Yeah, it sounds great. It's very close and it's a fantastic mic in its own right. I've recorded a lot with it now and really dig its sound. Will defiantly be buying a second one.
