General

Looking for a good studio mic for professional recordings? Then the King Bee by Neat is an excellent choice! It's a large-diaphragm condenser studio microphone with everything on it, including an external pop filter and a shock mount. The King Bee has a remarkably low self-noise ratio and a high output, making it especially ideal for high-res digital recordings of vocals, drums, guitar, piano, and all kinds of wind instruments. The included shock mount helps prevent any unwanted background or handling noise from being captured during recording.

Neat King Bee large-diaphragm condenser studio microphone

The black-and-yellow-striped King Bee microphone has a pretty unique design, and that in combination with its top-notch specifications makes it one very noteworthy piece of studio equipment. It features a cardioid pickup pattern, which means it essentially only picks up audio from the front. Please note that like any other large-diaphragm condenser microphone, it requires a phantom power supply to function. In the box, you'll find the King Bee mic, a shock mount, a pop filter, a practical storage pouch, and a special little King Bee figurine for extra inspiration.
