FORBES LS-208 MICROPHONE REVIEW

A Condenser Microphrophone With The Advantages Of A Dynamic

It's not every day we get to say, “Forbes reviewed our microphone,” and more specifically, “Forbes reviewed our microphone and loved it!” But today is that day, and we are pumped!

Forbes Senior Contributor Mark Sparrow got his hands on a new LS-208 a few weeks ago and has described it as a "condenser microphone with many of the benefits of a dynamic design, but the finesse of a condenser" and "a beautifully made microphone with a feel of superb quality."

To me, it’s easier to coax a great sound from this microphone than the Shure SM7B, the choice for many podcasters and musicians.
