USB Condenser mics under $100sgd?

[foogle]

Do they even exist? Best I found was bluemic's snowflake for $99 at an audio store in excelsior hotel. It seems condenser mics all cost $100 and up. And it seems only renowned brands (shure, AT, behringer, samson, etc) produce this sorta mics, everything else fall under dynamic mics.

That's a dealbreaker for the budget crowd looking for a decent mic for home recording. I can't believe that with the widespread number of cheap yet good dynamic mics out there, there's no market for a good condenser mic in the same price range.

so far i've not heard of USB mics costing less than $100. but in today's economy and value of SGD money (unlike how $50 used to be big bucks 10 years ago but now it's like our $10 back then) .. no offence, but is it really that hard to save for another few $10*X on top of $100? y'know smoke lesser cigs, dye lesser hair, eat at home, take bus..

hey TS
I use a USB condenser, but it's 20-30 above $100. I'm using the c01u Samson condenser diaphragm. It's quite okay for me, but don't compare it to a Shure KSM la.

Is yours USB de? Sim lim can get this USB condensor/dynamic mic right? i only know swee lee but their price is like very high.

Which floor does sim lim sell all this?

Lets see what do we have here:

C01U STUDIO CONDENSER MICROPHONE - USB -$396.30
C01UCW STUDIO CONDENSER MICROPHONE - USB -$193.10

The prices stated are already inclusive of a 30% store discount(subject to changes). However we are currently out of stock for all the models listed.

I have owned the Samson C01U for about 2 years now.

It sounded great and ease of use.

Have since used the Zoom H2 instead which gives me added portability to record anywhere without a PC.

I am willing to let go my C01U since have not been using it for more than a year.

PM me if interested.

i dunno bout the co1 but the co3 is so dam noisy that u'd be better off juz using ur webcam microphone.

how much u bought it last time?

 

[fenderz]

how much u bought it last time?

Honestly I cannot remember.. I know its more than $250... Sim Lim Square Level 3. Me buy and forget liao...

Since I've got my Zoom H2, I don't have much use for this.

In terms of sound, this mic have a much warmer feel to it. But I just hate to lug around my PC to record on location.

Maybe I want to get the CO1 and plug it to my mixer when I need to do home recording.

Planning to let it go at $150.

i dun tink there are any usb condensers under 100. There are so little non-usb ones that are below 100 already. most of them arent for vocal recording as well.
