The best BUDGET MICS for ACOUSTIC GUITAR! (And how much you need to worry about it…)
Here we’re looking at six inexpensive microphones for acoustic guitar recording, and why you probably shouldn’t let not having something fancier hold you back. Four dynamics mics, one large diaphragm condenser (LDC), and one small diaphragm condenser (SDC):
Shure SM58
Shure SM57
SE Electronics SE1a
Sennheiser e835
Sennheiser e906
Rode NT1a

What amp you are using?
great sound man! what is this guitar??
A SM-57 with and SSL 2 preamp, what about?.
Nice video. The sound really changes once you go to the Sennheiser and up. More so the bite and warmth. All good equipment imo. Thank you ????
OMG, what camera and lensa do u use? So clean n clear like a movie, please tell me ????????????
For once, here's a savvy guy who's not an anal perfectionist. Very well done!
This is great! So amazing to actually hear that the mic I do have, the e906 actually can do this job very well!
Recently, I’ve been thinking about getting a new microphone, so I’ve been wandering aimlessly around YouTube. It’s been, what, at least a decade since I last dabbled in recording. Your video instantly transported me back to two very vivid memories: one, the good old days, about twenty years ago, when I thought I was unstoppable with an SM58 and SM57 in my hands; and two, the quarantine days, stuck at home during the pandemic. Honestly, I have to say, the feelings are oddly similar. Like, when your thumb hesitated for a split second between the 3rd fret and the 2nd fret on the 6th string, I thought, “Oh my God, I’ve been there too—I’ve made that exact choice.”
So, no matter what other mic I might end up buying, one thing’s for sure: the SM58 is making its way back into my hands. Thanks, man. You’re a master of creating moments.
Good guy. Good advice.
Hi Jon,
I was thinking about recording stereo AC guitar with two SM57s. Any experience on this? Cheers mate!
Well, for me the 609 and N1a popped out on a simple Sony headphone
Thanks for making this video amigo! You’ve got a really nice conversation style… I like microphone shootouts anyways…. Yesterday I purchased a Rode NT1 … should be arriving today… Can’t wait to give that a listen… spent the extra quid because on a few Mic shootouts It sounds better than the NT1A to me… cheers
what pre amp your using? for the pics
Great video! The newer sE 8 small diaphragm condensers are fantastic!
The 99 dollar mic sounded as good as the 230 dollar one did.
Sm58 sounded amazing
It depends on the player the guitar and the room you’re in. And the song. Is it delicate moderate or aggressive
Was about to buy a new mic to record acoustic and you've convinced me to use my trusty SM58 instead. Thank you!
I used a HyperX quadcast streamer microphone that is USB powered and it comes out alright
On my speakers the small condensor Se1a sounded better than the sm 57/58.
Maybe different on headphines tho,which is often the case,too bright on headpjones ,to dull on speakers.
