Enthusiast iPodder Mic in Review: The Black Hole BH-2

iPodder Mic in Review: The Black Hole BH-2: If you’re a an enthusiastic podcaster who considers himself as a hardcore audiophile and is looking for a unique brand of microphone. You can check out the awesome The Black Hole BH-2 by JZ Microphones.

Designed as a condenser mic, a condenser mic is really build for a studio type of mic. These cool BH-2 comes in a nice-looking cherry wood finish case and it's extremely looking beautiful. Included is a uniquely designed shock mount that snaps into the 2 pins in the mic’s center, making it look like it’s floating from the stand. It's a small microphone but packs a hell lot of crisp sound.



It is available with an optional custom blast filter, and it sounds great with the Tube Tech plugin. The cardioid pattern allowed for a nice off-axis leniency and very good rejection. It works well with both male and female voices, with tenors where it almost doesn’t need any further equalizing.

With a street price tag that hovers somewhere around $1,099, whoa that's expensive.  This isn’t what you would call your daddy’s microphone and that's what I call an expensive microphone for the enthusiast. After all, I did say “hardcore audiophile” and yep it's a hard core all right in the beginning didn’t I?
