Got a budding vocalist you’d like to surprise with a gift? Or perhaps you’re a singer who’d just like to treat yourself to something nice. From audio interfaces and mics to headphones, there are many gift options for vocalists. Read on to see our favourites in this gift guide for vocalists.
Rode NT1-A Large Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone
Did you know that a microphone’s internal hardware can sometimes generate unwanted noise? Avoid that pitfall with the Rode NT1-A, an ultra-silent microphone that captures audio in tremendous detail. It’s great for recording isolated vocals or live performances, especially since its 137dB sound pressure level (SPL) prevents overload and distortion. An internal shock mount system keeps external rumbling out of the mix, ensuring high-fidelity audio recordings.
Rode NT-USB Versatile USB Condenser Microphone
The Rode NT-USB is a high-definition condenser microphone for singers, podcasters or streamers that records superb audio right out of the box. Enable crystal-clear audio playback whilst tracking with the zero-latency stereo headphone jack. The controls extend to dials that adjust monitoring levels, and also enable mixing between mic input and recorded audio. Pair this microphone with your chosen DAW of choice and the NT-USB will deliver on full compatibility and synchronicity.
Audio Technica ATH-M40x Professional Monitor Headphones
Any vocalist will appreciate the value of the Audio Technica ATH-M40x headphones. They are built with 40mm neodymium magnet drivers that deliver flat, accurate frequency responses from playback. Large, isolating ear cups are comfortable enough to last through long sessions, and the closed-back design helps minimise audio bleed. In addition, the collapsible construct, swivel earcups, and detachable cable make these headphones exceptionally portable.
Shure Beta 58A-X Vocal Microphone
The Shure BETA 58A-X is our pick for crisp and high-fidelity vocal recordings. This bestselling vocal microphone is designed for both professional and home studio recordings. The microphone’s frequency response makes the BETA 58A-X ideal for ASMR recordings as it brightens midrange while still maintaining bass roll off. The microphone is also built for durability – with its sturdy steel mesh grille and shock mount system.
