Tape Op Review: TechZone Audio StellarX3 Microphone

I love microphones. When used – or abused – in the right situation, I’m a firm believer that nothing will give you an interesting tone or character like a unique microphone. Whether it’s a cheap thrift store mic or a sophisticated, out-of-budget vintage beauty, there’s not a preamp or piece of hardware that articulates that immediate “something” that a microphone brings.

It seems that these days there are hundreds of mic manufacturers out there hitting all price points and styles. So, I’ll be transparent here when I say that I didn’t know about TechZone Audio Products when Tape Op asked me to review the new Stellar X3 large-diaphragm condenser. That being said, I enjoy new products from new companies as I have no preconceived ideas or judgments I might possibly apply when reviewing a piece of gear. I was also unaware of pricing or any specific details of this microphone before testing – always a good place to start.
