If your style of rapping is aggressive and punchy, this large-diaphragm condenser will have no problems handling it. Even when you go extremely crazy with your vocals, this mic doesn't disappoint. Plosives weren't an issue in my experience, and I was blown away by the low-end captured by this mic.

For a variety of purposes, both bi-directional microphones and Omni microphones work fantastically. A unidirectional microphone is sometimes a better choice for live sound and recording.Shure is one of the leading providers of microphones globally, famous for its SM57 and SM58 dynamic microphones. The SM7B is a unique offering, which rivals the two aforementioned mics in terms of popularity. You might not be able to afford to great buy half a dozen microphones for different applications if you have a tight budget. Most people cannot afford them. This is where a mic such as this comes in. It features a gold-plated xlr connector. This is a great addition. This prevents corrosion and ensures that there is always a good connection. A blue LED light is provided to monitor the phantom current. This is necessary because it is a condenser microphone.

The majority of condenser vocal microphones have a cardioid polar pattern. This is a reliable choice because cardioid capsules are great for focusing on the sound source that is positioned directly in front of them. The AT2035 by Audio-Technica is an excellent budget option for rappers with their own home studio setup. Its compact, lightweight design makes it an ideal choice for on-the-go rap recordings. A few people also compared it favorably to mics way out of its price range. A few examples: Shure SM7, AKG C414, and the Neumann TLM 193. Well, I’m partial to audio interfaces, and I use the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2. It works great with entry to mid-level condenser mics, and the Behringer C1 is no exception (I personally use it with the Samson C01). Highly recommended.The C01 from Samson is a surprisingly potent little mic for an extremely alluring price tag. Rappers will love the way that it hones in on the finer details of their lyrics. For a budget setup comprising of a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 or similar, it's a no brainer as a starter mic. The Samson Audio has been a great studio mic. It can produce good results on stage, but it is best when used in the studio. Even though 19mm is bigger than an intermediate diaphragm, we think it’s at the bigger end of a medium diaphragm. A large-diaphragm condenser microphone can be larger than 19mm, and sometimes even 22mm. This is usually presented with a simple switch, which when activated, prevents the low-end frequencies from making their way into your recordings. Another common inclusion is presence boosting pads. The frequency response of the TLM 102 is ideal for recording rap vocals. I found that it focuses on the expression of the performer’s vocal style quite successfully. For such a high-quality mic, it is also surprisingly compact.
