Thought On These Microphones

Hi all,,, I've found several great mics under $300
Any thoughts on these for the soundhole on 12 string, single mixing a 6 string, & possibly some vox?

Again, many thanks.

obviously for a recording situation,no?


success with any of those mic's depends more on the acoustic environment, the physical placement for the capture (and whether the performer moves)and the recording chain i.e. mic pre, mixer(if used) compression or dynamics processing (including gates).


i've some experience with the Rode NT2 but have not heard the others but all seem competent.
other may weigh in.

I have the Rode NT1 (not the NT2) and its one of my favorite mics. Rode offers a really great value product. 17 Best Mics for Acoustic Guitars in 2020 - Guitar Lobby I have several condenser mics i really like for recording guitar and that's probably my #1 but some other options to look at/add to your list are the AKG P420 and the Shure SM81-LC. Lots of great options in the price range you are looking
